i know some magazines will have pen-pal programs. if you're young enuff, talk to your teacher about maybe setting up a foreign pen-pal exchange system w/ kids ur age in another country (who go to school). u mite want to make sure its a country that speaks ur language tho.\n\ni set off a balloon w/ a letter attched to it b4 and got a pen-pal. not my age, but it was nice to be able to write to her for guidance.

When you are young, 2 or 3 years seems like a big deal. When you are 30 it won't matter at all. \n\nThere isn't any harm in talking to someone, but keep in mind that she may give her e-mail to a lot of people, some people are very social. Her offering to keep in touch may not indicate the potential for any more than friendship.\n\nPersonally, I think you should e-mail her, if for no other reason than to avoid always wondering what could have been. Maybe you will lose touch anyway, maybe you will become great friends, maybe more...  But you won't ever know if you don't reach out.

Be careful with this.  I saw a whole something on "Oprah" yesterday talking about sickos who prey on little kids that want internet pen pals.

hey millsberry.com is an excellent website for kids.  I'm not sure if you can write to penpals but depending on the age considering you are asking about kids i would try to stay away from penpals.  Good Luck

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.

NO, and I would advise all you young people not to do so either.  You do not know what you are getting into or what traps have been laid.  Never do so, and never give your phone number, your address, your full name or your email address.  There are a lot of weirdos out there........

shouldn't be a problem. Web addresses are universal all over the world. just type the address in the address line... your friend should be fine.

This might get you started\n\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_13421_find-european-pen.html\n\nIt is not a pen pal page itself - but is a how to go about getting one.\n\nNot knowing your interests etc. I am afraid I cant recommend an actual page

A very good penpal site is:\n\nhttp://www.studentsoftheworld.info\n\nYou can browse penpal profiles from all over the world by country, sex, age, hobbies, languages. You can also create your own ad for free, your address stays hidden to avoid spam mails.\nIt is a pretty secure and nice site!!

Pen pal I can be and a friend in the process.  But just be yourself and make new friends you will see that there are people that you meet that are just as nice.

no. it can be a bit dangerous, tho. even though you think theyre you friends, do not take risks. dont give out your adress or phone or screen name. because they can jsut be random pedophiles posing as friendly myspacers. \nbe careful! i'd go with eharmony or something. or just go to clubs, or concerts, or movies and meet people.
