My main issue with megan is that she had to affect someone else life (Nev) in a negative way. She made him believe so many things that weren't true. it shows her true color... and they aren't pretty. If i was nEv i would have stayed away from the situation from the beginning because meeting people online is never safe. Megan hopefully will learn from her mistakes and grow as a person.

I pity Angela because she lived a sad life. She used the two boys and took the wrong identity. Yes she had her troubles with her kids and life at home but there are better things to do. She was a low life. Not only was her life affected but she affected other peoples lives by doing what she did. It is never a good idea to have a false identity.

 You don’t really know the people you meet online. You don’t know if what they’re saying is true. It is very easy to lie over the Internet because you can’t see who the person is behind the screen, and you also know that they will never find out.

How well do you need to know someone that you meet online?

if you meet someone online you need to know them very well so you would probably have to look them up to see who they are and what there history is and if they have a criminal history if they do then might not want to talk to that person again.  because they might be very dangerous

 

Hannah Arata

You have to know a person that you meet online very well. As seen in Catfish, Nev was talking to a complete stranger. Luckily, Angela wasn't necessarily a huge threat or a danger to him. If you ever meet someone online, you really have to get to know them and you can't put 100% trust into that person. People can easily create fake facebook profiles and make themselves seem very real as Angela did. You always have to think about what you do online so you don't put yourself into a bad or awkward situation as Nev did.

I personally pity Angela because she lived a sad, sad life. She had to make a false identity to make herself happier. Yes she had her troubles with her kids and life at home but there are better things to do. She was a low life. Not only was her life affected but she affected other peoples lives by doing what she did. It is never a good idea to have a false identity.

Angel Avila

I,think you need to know a person from online very well because you see what happen to Nev ,the girl that he  find online  was lying to him.So i think you need to know a person from online very good like you need to know her oh his real name and you need to know all about him or her you need to slow down with a relationship.Also you need to tell her or him to meet  somewhere that both now.

I condemn Angela because what she did affected the lives of other people in a major way. She led Yaniv on for eight months by making him think that he was talking to someone else and he sent her postcards and gave "Megan Faccio" a lot of attention. That disrupted his life and could have lead to him passing up real opportunities.

Brandon Ruffin

Megan Faccio is a fictional persona created by Angela Wessleman. The image used for this persona is the image of Aimee Gonzalez. Aimee Gonzalez is an amateur model who knew nothing of the happenings in the movie catfish. She never gave any consent; prior, during or before the movie.




Sincerely, Brandon Ruffin(dude on the right)

Zach Anderson

Megan Faccio is actually an amateur model name Aimee Gonzalez.  She knew nothing of what Angela was doing, creating a false persona using her image. She never gave consent for Angela or anyone else to use her images, which Angela simply got off of the internet. Her images were pirated by Angela and she knew nothing of what the actions that lead to the movie Catfish and didn't give consent to be Megan Faccio.

If you met someone online, you will never truly know who they are until you meet them in person.  Emailing, chatting, IMing, and texting don't prove that the person you are starting a relationship with online is actually who they say they are.  Even video chatting could be a video of someone else or prerecorded footage.  Relationships are best started in person.

Jimmy Green

I do not sympathise with Angela in the slightest. She created a series of fake personas in order to make herself feel better about her sucky life. But she did not think about how this would effect other people. Angela is responsible for wasting 8 months of Nev's life.

Martez Brown

I condemn Angela because when you have an online relationship you should be truthful in everything you say, do, and display. Angela made Nev, who thought that he was having a true relationship or connection with Megan and her family, believe that he was in a relationship with this beautiful girl that was around his age when in reality it was some old woman with 2 special needs kids and a old husband. I do not pity Angela because someone who lies and deceives others like she did does not deserve pity because it was an intentional pain towards others. And the person who received the most pain was Nev, and all he was trying to do was find a new relationship.

Josh Huff

 You need to know  someone really well online if you are going to go out with them. You should ask them questions about their self and you should do a web chat with them before you actually meet them in person.And don't get in two relationship with people if you don't know how they look. Be cautious because it can be anybody.

Vivi Casey 

I condemn Angela for this whole thing that she put Nev through. She completely deceived him and he invested so much time in a person who wasn't even real. It could have been a much more dangerous situation than it ended up being, but it was still scary in the long run. The fact he had been communicating with Angela pretending to be Megan this whole time must have been really frustrating and humiliating for Nev. Also, the fact that after Nev came to Michigan to meet the family and Angela continued lying about her life is really pathetic.

Yes, I pity Angela because she created an online persona and took advantage of Nev.  I do not think that is right.

PJ Lucchesi 

I dont sympathise with Angela in the slightest. I condemn her actions because what she did wasnt right. She lead Nev on to think that he was talking with a young girl, when in reality he was chatting with a mother of 2 with a husband. Nev developed feelings for this fictional character, and to tell him that she didnt actually exist crushed him. When people pose as other things they arent people get hurt.

 
I thought what Angela did was very wrong. At the same time I felt bad for what she had to go threw at home with her kids. Two of her three kids were autistic. She did have a very rough time at home but that gave her no right to do what she did to Nev. She pretended to be megan and acted like her artwork was Abbys. She had it rough but had no right to do this.

I think that you need to know someone really well  online because online they can be anyone and you will never know until you meet them. It is dangerous if you don't know someone well enough online because they can turn out to be someone else completely different then they say they are. But now, saying that, it is perfectly fine if you do meet someone online because there is the same chance that they can be crazy or that they could turn out to be someone normal.

How Well Do You Know Someone That You Met Online?    

You can never fully know somebody that you met online, unless you get to know them for a long time. In the film Catfish, Yaniv gets involved in a relationship with somebody he doesn't even know, but he thinks that he knows them because he gets sent paintings. Unless you actually talk to somebody in person, then you can never truly know that they are who they say they are.

if you meet someone online you should never just except them to be who they are. i am aguy and i understand if a good looking girl try to start talking to me i would maybe say a few words to her and text her from time to time but then when i met her and she wasnt who she said she was i would tell her she is a creep and she is very weird       

Hunter Wortmann

 

I feel bad for Angela but at the same time I disagree greatly with what she did. She shouldn't of lied so much because it didn't accomplish anything for her. In her case she should be very grateful because of how Yaniv reacted. He wasn't hostile or rude towards her. He pitied her, but at the same time was astonished that she had lied all this time about Megan and Abby.  I think she should be punished for her actions. It is good that she deleted her fake Facebook photos and changed her profile picture to a picture of her.

Alecia Cooley

How well do you need to know a person that you meet online?

  

I feel that you should already be somewhat familiar with a person you are interacting with online. Before you meet them in person or give them personal information about yourself you should make sure they are who they say they are, instead of going by a picture or a voice. If you do meet a person online that you don't know you should ask questions about them and try to follow up the information they have given.

          Truman Job

I feel bad for Angela and I think her life may be tough but I disagree with what she did. She shouldn't have carried it on for so long and kept on lying. I think in the beginning it might have been okay but once she started to make it serious I think she should have stopped it. I think it was especially wrong because she messed with Nev's mind and he most likely will not be able to trust anyone he meets online in the future.

Maddy Smith

Do you condemn Angela? Do you pity her? Explain why.

I don't pity Angela. Honestly, she didn't have to make a fake account just to talk to Nev, I really don't understand why she would lie about that, then when he comes, for whatever reason she lies about having chemotherapy. That really isn't anything to joke about. She has a full family set out for her, with children and a husband. I don't understand her. I don't condemn her, because I do realize she had to give up a lot for her family, but then she goes ahead and tries to destroy it. I don't pity her, but I don't condemn her.
