Imaginary friends
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. :/

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
You also might consider keeping a diary or journal! It allows you to get your thoughts out without having to actually be saying them to an imaginary person.

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!

I don't believe you're crazy. I went through the same thing when I was your age. I'm an only child, had parents that didn't really let me go out/let friends over, so often times I'd be home alone watching tv and I would pretend like someone was there with me. I would talk out loud. And sure it seems silly but I grew out of it eventually. Like you, I wouldn't talk in public to them. So no worries, eventually you'll have company around so there will be no need to have that imaginary person there alongside you. Good luck!

Your not crazy unless someone else thinks that your crazy and you begin to believe them.
As far as an imaginary friend,at the age of 13.
hmm. Its up to you, i know you asked for advice but i wanna make sure you are ready to ad hear this-
Talk to your self. who better to know you than yourself.Then, if someone thinks that your crazy, their just being irrational, because your taking time to think thin gs over with yourself.
That's it!
