Instant messenger programs can be a lot of fun to have. When you and your friends sign up for the same program you can send messages back and forth to each other while you are doing other things on the computer. You can choose whether to keep your login private or have it shown to others. If you show it to others, anyone can see that you are online and send you messages. Sometimes very scary people look for strangers to send bad messages to. Keep your login private. Only give it to people you know. Don't put your age, your last name or your city in your profile. Stay safe on the internet.
