Cryptic cliffhangers are vague posts that reveal that something important is happening in your life, but don’t provide details. It’s like announcing, “You would not believe what just happened to me!” and then not continuing with the story. If you want to share something, don’t tease people. It’s frustrating and annoying. Sometimes people post “cryptic cliffhangers” because they want to talk about something they might feel embarrassed or sad about, but aren’t sure how to.

Nobody likes to hear a string of complaints. It’s just a downer! So try not to bring down other people because you are unhappy. Instead be proactive and see how you can improve a situation, and try to maintain a positive mental attitude. If your complaints are serious, then take serious steps to resolve them. There are many online support groups where you can talk anonymously. And there’s always friends IRL. That’s “in real life.”

Which of these is an example of a cryptic cliffhanger?

The internet is a global network. It connects people using computers all around the world. The internet allows us to share ideas, communicate and access information quickly and across huge distances. That’s why the internet is a very powerful resource. That’s also why we need to use the internet safely. Whenever you’re using the internet, you should be sure you’re doing two things: keeping your computer safe and keeping yourself safe, too.

Creating secure usernames and passwords helps you stay safe online. Keeping your computer safe is an important piece of internet safety, too. A virus is a piece of code that can copy itself and has a harmful effect on a computer. It might destroy data or steal personal information. Sometimes viruses are sent as attachments. An attachment is a file sent with an email. To keep your computer safe from viruses, never open an attachment from an email address you don’t recognize. If someone you do know emails you an attachment, read it critically. Make sure the email sounds like them and the attachment looks like something they’d send to you.

Which detail from the passage best shows that email attachments can be dangerous?
