text: does any one think.....? does any 1 think that aim / aol instant messanger is sometimes bad for kids? people say things that they wouldnt say to the persons face, and you cant c the other persons face, so u dont know if they are kidding or not.  alot of peoples self asteem is crushed.   do u think its bad? no i dont think that its a bad thing. ive used them in the past and there fine. i dont use them anymore when i found out that my computer had a virus. (not because of instant messangers)
