This website helped me fulfill my dream of connecting with other people and penpalling! The security is great and this website is trustworthy. The only problem is the moderating on profiles. Profile pictures are not reviewed carefully. I uploaded pictures of fruit or drawings and it was rejected, so this part could be better. Other than that this is a great site i love it!!

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.

I get the impression that there are relatively a lot of good people. There are also people with whom I have been exchanging messages for a long time.
