Y'all won't kidnap me...right?

Taking a break from the dreams to bring you guys something a bit more important.

My parents keep going on about how I shouldn't give out personal information online, don't interact with strangers, yadda yadda. They're totally technologically oblivious, too (between "one does not simply pause online games" and "come help me, my DVD player won't work!"). My sister keeps pointing out to me (and making fun of me for it) about being on this site, and my mother recently took an interest in it. She came over around ten minutes ago and asked what I was doing.

So, what are you doing?
"Uhh, forums?"
What's that?
"A place where people can discuss topics."
And what were you doing?
"Discussing animation errors of cartoons..."
You're not giving out any information?
"Mom, we've had this discussions a million times over!"
*She gives me a look*
Don't do anything you're not supposed to!
*I return her look and she leaves*

I lied about what I was discussing because I was roleplaying and, let's face it, that would make explaining the "discuss topics" a little harder. That's not the point, though. I'm getting sick of being reminded that the world is out to rape me roughly once every week!

    Kidnap?
    Why would you even need to think like that.
    I'm sorry but even though there are wierd people on places, I think you've been here enough to know that we trust you and that you can trust us.
    I mean, otherwise we would never have this much members.
    No offence, but you mothers lack of faith in community's disdurbs me...

    This site is pretty trustworthy from what I can tell. I don't think anyone here has plots to kidnap you. :p

    It's not this site personally, it's EVERYONE on the internet. I talk on TF2 servers a lot, and when I get off the computer, my mother always asks me who I was talking to. She eyeballs me every time when I say "I don't know!" She doesn't expect ME to give out information, why should I force others to?

    Well why would we do that? We love other people!!! In fact, I'll give you a brohoof on the house! /)
    But your mother is only trying to keep you safe, even though you are. Instinct is a big contribution to your mothers concern. Try sitting down with her and explaining what it is you do and your reasoning for it. You'd be surprised by how much talking helps.

    Don't give away all of your personal details. That's just stupid.
