Omegle. Its a ball in the bag, really..... and caution is needed.
This is a site which had a good idea, but sadly the users abuse the site. I think the site offers teens the chance to learn about other cultures and what it is like and make new friends, as i have done and keep in touch via Facebook, Instant Messaging etc.
As i have used the site for nearly a year, i know the negatives of this site as well. Put simply, sexual content is a very big issue. I am only a teen myself and male and the majority of users are male and ask if you are female etc, but there are also good people on there too, as i have experienced and keep in touch. It does take a while to get to the good people.
My overall view is if you are willing to be adventurous and have some fun with friends or on your own, Omegle is a good site and make some new friends in the long run. The negatives are that the majority of users post sexual based content, and this is clearly shown in the camera only option, and also the text.
I recommend that young girls in particular avoid the webcam option and also take extreme caution. I wouldn't recommend this site for under 15 years, and girls in particular should be careful and take caution about giving the URL of your Facebook profile, but the important thing is, have fun!
My friend showed me this website and really there is a LOT of bad things on it and my friend likes to chat me too but we immeditaley disconnect if there is something bad like they say they r naughty or want to go on webcam. My friend had went on webcam one time and some guy was on there who showed his genitals. I really wouldn't recommend for me. Wait until you are 13 or older or until you are mature. It's very disappointing how some things are in this world. Never go on webca, you are just being stupid if you do. I haven't and don't want to.
Site is fun and addictive. But there are all people of all ages on the site. Some are nice people who r just looking for a good chat. Oters personal information. And some are pervert who demand cyber sex or sex chats. The site can be fun if u talk to the right people and it can be safe if u are careful about the people u talk to and what info u give out. Bottom line, how safe the site is is up to the user. But the inapropreat content is somewht up to the user but every user does eventually run into a pervert or creeper.
Boys will often ask if you're a girl, and if yes they will ask for pictures and ASL. I do meet funny people. But most of the time, just boys and girls wanting to cyber. You can't report.. Which sucks. A site that could be used for fun..now are in the hands of perverts and pedos.
I'm 12 and I go on omegle a lot.. Like, I don't give anyone info on me but it's really fun to do when you're bored. I mean, if I had like little kids I wouldn't let them go on, but for people 12 and older it's cool. They don't have to give people their information..it's like, their choice. Soo if you're iffy about it just like look at it yourself and maybe monitor your kid depending on how old they are..But I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's just a website. It's not like some creepy old pedophile is gonna crawl out of your kid's computer and steal them or something. I think y'all are being too uptight.
Epic...some swearing, some porn links, occasional creeper, but if you're responsible enough, you can handle it. Be warned of Video Mode, it's like Chatroulette, but with 15% less nudity (still nudity, be warned).
I believe that this site was a good site some time ago. But now, adults use it to sexually satisfy. now this site is full of sexual content, the men's genitals to show web cam. It is disgusting, I've tried the site, and the truth is that I have seen many genitals. It could be a good site to raise awareness of other cultures and languages, but unfortunately some people decided to spoil it and turn it into a pornographic site.
My friend and I went on this website once and it was scary. Though we did meet some very nice people who were just bored and had nothing to do, but most of the people wanted to have cyber-sex. The website is WAY too open; they should have some privacy settings or something...
Well, I went to the chat with strangers. The first one was OK, he didn't cuss out or anything, but he left. The second one asked if I wanna f^ck. I left, of course. There's too much trash on it.
Omegle is an ok website. Teens/other people should only use it if they know internet safety, like never giving out personal info. Sometimes you can get a good person and its also really funny, and if someone asks your asl, just don't tell them anything, say you want to be safe. I havent tried video chat, bc that seems kinda dangerous.
The purpose behind Omegle is great: Two people coming together from different locations to exchange an appropriate and intellectual conversation via the internet. However, in practice, this is not what the site turned out to be, at least 95% of the time. The majority of the site is composed of male stalkers attempting to talk to a female.
If you find someone who is looking for a good conversation, have fun, otherwise you'll only be disappointed by being dumped every time you identify yourself as male.
From a person who's used enough of Omegle to know its basics.
One thing I have to say: Do NOT go on Omegle if you are easily insulted. It is not for the faint-hearted as well. Almost all of the Omegle community is in love with Hitler. I have seen too many Holocaust and 9/11 jokes. One thing I see too much as well is "Are you horny?" or "ASL?". The "N" word is one of the most commonly used word, as well as other derogatory terms for homosexuals, Jews, Muslims and others. About 1 out of 2 people is a pervert, and many, many questions on Spy Mode are disgustingly inappropriate.
That said, you can find a few people worth chatting with, and I have to say, it was truly worth the struggle of skipping those dumb questions. A tip I have: Put interests in the Interest box before chatting, so that you can talk to people who like the same things as you do. With this, I found absolutely no undesirable person for a long time!
So, as a 15-year-old who knows what she's talking about, take my word for it. Maybe people of that age might have a hard time with Omegle, so just wait until you feel comfortable with these things.
