Writing an online diary can be fun when you can share your thoughts and feelings with your real-life or cyber friends. But there are a few things you should be careful about:
* Time management: It's easy to get addicted to writing and reading online journals but just remember: this is simply a hobby. Try to prioritise things, do what you need to do and make sure you do not waste too much time in cyberspace.
* Self-protection: Although you might just want to share your diary with friends you know in real life, an online diary can still be read by anyone surfing the Internet. If someone you don't know tries to contact you directly or wants to know your personal details, be careful with what you tell them.
* Take it easy: What people say might not be 100 per cent true, so don't take what has been written too seriously and don't let it upset you.
