i dont know if this is weird but i love talking to random people. not like, aol chat rooms where you talk for 2 seconds and then someone ims you wanting sex from you but just casual conversation. are there any websites that are safe and let you talk to people your age (16-18years old)??
p.s. i really love talking to foreign people. like from england, ireland or france (i speak some french)
ManDA_Lee answered Wednesday August 13 2008, 10:26 pm: You can go to all kinds of Pen Pal sites.
Or you could go to the usual myspace or facebook.
the question is about being safe? whatever information you give out, is the call. if you give random information out, that lets people know where you are from, and how old you are and where you live? or your cell phone number? thats the question. just don't tell anybody who you are unless, you know them...

Disconnected answered Wednesday August 13 2008, 5:38 pm: I defenetly agree with the people below me.
Something that I do is add random(but not people desperate to get friends) on MySpace, and I start talking to them.
Usually I check out their pictures, to see if they have more than one, and pictures with friends. Then I know that it's unlikely for them to be a pervert in disguise.
Also if you want, you can talk to me.
I'm Estonian living in Belgium, but I speak fluent English.

I'm a lot like yourself, and also love talking to new and random people, especially those who are from abroad (I'm in England myself).
There are a number of chat rooms and social network web sites which you can join (bebo, myspace, netlog etc) but when it comes to finding a place that's safe and that part could very well be a problem. If you're strong willed and can take some crap from people and know where to draw the line then you should be safe enough from perverts and annoying 'go on cam and strip' and 'send me pictures' people on them. There may be places who offer chat rooms where they are moderated which may also be safe to use (but being harassed by IMs can still be a problem.
Most social network web sites include filters where you can block certain age groups accessing your profile or contacting you and block annoying people which is always a handy thing to know if you're afraid of strange people contacting you.
Be aware though that all this only helps to a certain degree since many people have the tendency to make fake profiles (having studied netlog in particular a fair bit - it happens a lot over there).
