about

Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

Hi I'm a 13 year old girl, and I kinda have an imaginary friend... Is this ok? I don't really have any real friends, so I made up an imaginary friend when I was about eleven. It's not like I 'talk' to her in public, just when I'm at home, but is it wrong to have an imaginary friend when you're 13? Am I crazy or something? Please help me. :/

As long as you know the friend is imaginary, you aren't crazy. I do, however, suggest putting yourself out there and meeting people. Humans are social beings and we need relationships - not necessarily romantic relationships, just people to talk to and communicate with!

Talk to people at school, in classes, etc. If you are feeling self conscious about this imaginary friend or if you struggle making friends,, talk to your school counselor. Join a club or sport to help you get out there and meet people!
