Online best friend
another question.
i'll try to eliminate as much detail as i can, so it won't be so long, but here goes. when i was 11, i used to play neopets (haha) and this other girl and i started talking on there, and then we talked on msn, and AIM and that was five years ago. i went and am currently going through some depression, and i lost a lot of my friends, just normal teenager things, blahblah. she is the ONLY person that has ever fully been there for me, and the only person that i can tell absolutely everything to. we talk every day, and we know eachother's most personal secrets. we're seriously best, best friends and i've never had a friendship like this in my entire life. i'm 100% POSITIVE that she's a 14 year old girl, living where she says she lives, with the people she says she lives with, and has the friends that she says she has. i'm certainly not a pedophile, and i know she isn't either, and we really, really want to meet so we can hang out in real life and not feel so weird saying we've never met our best friend. the problem is that we have no idea how to go about doing it. we were originally going to go to a summercamp together and then just tell our parents that we had met at the summercamp so that they'd let us hang out in real life, but that's pretty unrealistic. if i told my parents about her, i think they'd just be nervous and worried that i gave her a lot of my information, but i know they wouldn't make us stop talking, it's her parents we're worried about. we're worried that if she tells her parents about me, in an effort to arrange a meeting for us, that they'll freak out and forbid her from talking to me. we thought about having me tell my parents, because they'd be more understanding, and then have my parents call and talk to her's on the phone, so they'd know i'm really only a 16 year old girl, but she doesn't know if her parents would believe that they're my parents, and not some pedophiles. how should we go about telling our parents, or meeting, or whatever? we only live a state away, but neither of us can like, drive and meet, but we don't want to sacrifice our friendship by telling our parents about each other.

I was in the same situation not that long ago. My best friend lives two states away from me, and we were friends for four years before we finally met. We had to talk to our parents about it, and they finally agreed. My best friend was here for a week this past summer.
So maybe, if you don't mind telling your parents, just say that you would really like to meet her, and you know she's not a pedophile and all that. Maybe both your parent's and her's would agree to meeting, like having lunch or something? That way you could see her more often if they met. I'm not sure how else you could do that, but I hope I helped & I hope things work out!

i definitely liked the summer camp idea. I mean its pretty much the only way you can get away from both of your parents and have a fun time together. then you could come back and say you met someone nice and want to hang out with her again.
best of luck
