I didn't think anybody still sent letters by mail any more. When I was young I had several penpals. With age, we lost track of each other. Now I only have online friends, rather then penpals.

Whats a penpal? Someone in jail?

HAHA I guess it could be, but i think martys parents might be a little concerned if their 16 year old daughter was writing to inmates.

A penpal is just some one you write to, usually someone far away, possibly to learn new things about another culture or just connect with someone far away.

I have Facebook friends... is that a Keypad pal? Ive never met them.. but 'know' them on line...
but you do have to be careful.. especially getting into modeling like you are.. posting lots of pics of yourself.. may attract
the wrong type of friend.. and be careful of writing to PO boxes.... prison has a lot of lonely people....

I had pen pals when I was younger. One from Australia and one from England...can't remember if there were more. I found them through an online pen pal site :p It was probably sketchy at the time, plus my parents had no idea :rolleyes:
It was fun though!

eta: Nice to see you posting again :)

I am glad your pen pals are from a secure place. Have your parents thought about taking in aa exchange student? That might be a fun experience for you. My husband had one when he was in school and was invited to spend a summer with the family in Spain. He went and loved it. We have a family at our church that has a girl from Germany living with them.
