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 have found nice people in Global Penfriends. I hope I could one day make a snail mail penpal beacause I love to write on a sheep of paper and receive foreign letters.
