Answer 1

The alex_eastwest13 friendship would be more risky because she doesn't know him in person, through anyone she knows in person, or even through any online group. She doesn't know anything about who he or she really is or how he or she interacts with others. You should be careful when sharing personal information online, especially if it is with someone you don't have any real-life connection to or have just met randomly. And private information should never be shared unless you first get the permission of a trusted adult.
