Dear Amy:My parents think that chat rooms on the Internet are a bad influence on kids. We disagree. What do you think? -- Laura & Rosie, Boise, ID

Dear Laura & Rosie:Chat rooms can be cool and it's fun to meet new people. But since my folks limit my online time, I think there are more awesome things to do on the Web than chat. If you are interested, have your parents check out the chat room with you and then agree to some safety rules. Number one is to never give out your home address or agree to meet someone without your parents' permission. Here's an alternative if you like to speak your mind: Go to Apple's Youth Central at They have message exchange boards on lots of great topics.

Dear Amy::How do you start your own Web site? I want to know how other kids did them! -- Dani, Manhattan, NY

Dear Dani:First, get some server space through your school or from your Internet Service Provider. Next, create the Web page by learning HTML code to make your words appear the way you want on your Web page. You can include pictures, too. For more details, go to the Beginner's Guide to HTML. Also, there is special software around that makes writing HTML code easier. Ask at a computer store.
