The NSA might be spying on Tor users 

 Privacy and encryption have been two very hot topics for the last few years. The Tor browser can help protect your privacy while online, but it may come at the cost of being spied on by the NSA.

 
Well first off  I highly recommend you get the heck off Tor as quick as possible. 

Do you know how , when you search on google and go to strange sites sometimes, once in a while , you get a bogus site thats run by untrustworthy people that are trying to scam you , infect you , get you to download something harmful , etc etc ? 

 On Tor , EVERY site is like that. It's ridiculous. You do a search and you get page after page of scammers. I'm a skilled techie and even I turn away and just don't use the thing. It's too risky , too dangerous , and mostly a total waste of time.  

 I suppose, if you're a newsie , and you need to contact someone in another country , you can both download a chat program (hopefully one with built in encryption) and communicate, but the average joe on the internet ? STAY AWAY . You'll get infected. Over and over and over.
