Passwords:

You have to be so careful with passwords. You need to make sure that no-one knows what your password is. Try not to keep the same password for everything and even if you do, don't tell anyone because if they figure out your password they automatically get access to all your contacts on social networking sites and can hack all the statuses that you write.
