As a child, it's not the best idea to use Omegle, but if you are going to you should know how to stay safe.
Steps
-
1Always use chat by text. You might end up with some pretty weird people on video.
-
2Disconnect immediately if the first thing your chat partner says is "ASL?" or "m?" "ASL?" means age/sex/location ,and is generally how those looking for someone to give them nudes starts a conversation, another sign of these people is the first thing they say is "M?" that means they want to know your gender and probably request nudes..
-
3Put actual conversation in the interest box and some other interests. Don't put stuff like girls, dating, porn, sex, or you will find a total pervert.
-
4Prepare yourself before entering the chat. You might be greeted with something really disgusting; have your hand ready on Esc.
-
5Stop using Omegle after 5 failed chat attempts. If after 5 chat attempts, everyone has just advertised porn, requested nudes, ask ASL, or said M, stop using Omegle. You would be better off going on a website like Roblox to find friends or connecting to a Minecraft server.
