How old are you?
14

How often do you use the internet?
every day if possible

Do you talk to people online? If so, are you close to any of them?
yes, all the time. and yes, very to some.

How do you normally communicate with people further away? Phone? Letters? E-mail?
e-mail, mostly, and some letters

Have you ever had a pen pal? How close were you to them?
yes, my best friend

Do you think relationships online can be as strong as ?real life? relationships? Stronger? Please explain.
yes, stronger, because online you are forced to get to know a person from the inside, you have nothing to judge them on looks wise so when you actualy meet them your still just as close

Do you consciously take looks into account when meeting a person face to face for the first time? Do you think you might unconsciously?
some, i must admit, but i try not to

Would it make sense to you, then, that maybe meeting someone where you can?t see them, would allow you to get to know that person better? Explain, either way.
yes, as said before, it makes you get a more in-depth look at them, without hinderance of looks

Have you ever met in person, someone you first met online? If so, were they what you thought they would be?
not yet, but i plan to

Would you like to express your thoughts on this subject?
I think online it allows you to really get to know a person so petty judgements like looks, shyness, etc don't intrude on a real relationship, wether it be a best friend or a boyfriend, online you can know a person for them, and not outward apearances.
