Be very careful about taking advice from websites

October 18th, 2007

Be very careful about taking advice from websites. Unless there’s a section telling you who runs the site and what their expertise is, they may not have any. Some sites, particularly those with teenage forums, can give dangerous advice.

The people trying to help you out are probably well intentioned, but if you’re upset, depressed, having a bad time in a relationship or at school, you need the best help you can get, and that might be face-to-face or from a recognised charity.

Don’t take any medical advice from a website, the best people to help you with worries about your health are your parents and family doctor who know you best.

The website owner should always be happy for your parents or carers to know that you’re contacting them and should never offer to do anything on your behalf without your parents knowing about it.
