AIM chat rooms, myspace, blogs.  I have made lots of internet friends and even met a few in real life -- they are all cool people.\n\nBe careful though, a very few are not so cool.  But it so cool that as long as you are watchful initially, you will be fine.\n\nReyn

Chatting is more of a self learning stuff rather than someone teaching you. Anyway i shall tell you the concept of chatting,  generally chatting in the internet means that you type instant messages to people around the world who are in the chat environment at that moment. \n\n       For chatting you got to get into a chat environment and double click on anyone of the ids or names that you will see. After doing that type a message , propably say a 'hi' to that stranger to start with. When you get a reply from him/her you can propably start a chat conversation with that  person. \n\n          Let me give you a glimpse of how a Chat conversation does generally start . Lets assume you ve clicked on maria_cary\n\nyou : hi\nmaria_cary : hi\nyou : asl (means age/sex/land or country)\nmaria_cary : 22 f England\nmaria_cary : urs \nyou : 24 m Russia \n \n(and so on ...)\n\nthough there are no hard and fast rules on chatting this is usually the manner in which a conversation starts.

it depends what kinda of chat line you want. i like to go on virtual chat lines/rooms. \n\na chat line where you can meet people who are ages 13-18 is called *www.habbohotel.com*...u can make your own person and make up a hotel room. i love habbo hotel..its fun and you can meet new people on it and do virtual stuff like swimming,dancing and clubbing, ectera.\n\nif you want to use a chat network try  these:\n\n*for the websites below it would be best if you added a picture to your profile.\n\n*www.myspace.com*(this is cool, you can decorate your page using html graphics.)\n\n*www.espinthebottle.com*(mostly a dating website but you can meet friends on it also\n\n*www.xanga.com*(i dont like this one that much)\n\n*www.yfly.com*(kinda hard to use)\n\n*www.blackplanet.com*(u dont have to be black to use)\n\nif you want just a regular chat line where you type stuff it will be hard to find because on almost all of them you have to be of age 18 and older.

There is this wonderful website called Craigslist. There are sections for different parts of the country and then you click on one near you and post it. Then people will e-mail you about them, and then you can meet them or mail them to them.

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities, and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice. For other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. Jokes are also great and the internet has lots of them. Make sure to ask simple, friendly questions about the person.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful to

Get on the internet...there are tons of people waiting to find you friends, but be careful and never meet any of them alone.

Careful what you ask for here. How can you know for sure that the people who may want to be your "friend" are really your age? There are so many predators online just waiting for a chance to get in contact with a child. Please be careful as to what you say to anyone here or anywhere online for that matter. I swear you kids on here worry me. God bless and keep you safe.

it is possible, but if there is a long distance in between, that can certainly interfere.  Internet dating is dangerous though, you never know who you are really about to meet that first time.  Make sure if you ever plan on meeting someone in person that it is in a public place, have friends with you, and let people know where you are going and what you are doing.\n\nI my area, we just had a 13 year old girl get raped when she went to meet what she though was a 14 year old boy that she had met on myspace.  he was 20.

At least 18. By then you're no longer considered a minor but can still have adult supervision to ensure that you don't get into huge trouble. That way you gain some experience in it before just jumping into it. You're also more wise to the ways of the world and a little more street smart - hopefully. As a result, the idea is that you will know enough not to do anything idiotic like go meet someone you only know online by yourself. We hope that people can become more mature and intelligent by that age.

Hey, You can talk to anybody from around the world on here. If you ask a question people will answer it and you can answer the questions of others as well. Sometimes people ask silly questions and you can get their e-mail addresses so you can e-mail them.

Meeting people over the Internet isn't the safest thing to do...Its not safe AT ALL. But if you do want to meet someone than just go join a group on Yahoo! When you meet someone NEVER give out personal information,unless you now them and trust them. Don't tell them your real age. They might change theirs to make them sound younger/older so that they could talk to you.\nBe careful!
