How to get rid of a close internet friend?
I have a close internet friend (we met on youtube).. but the thing is that it was him who first messaged me and that's how we became friends. But since I couldn't trust a stranger, I had told my wrong identity to him (name, location, birthday, etc.). But except for my identity, everything I told him was a true.. like my likes/dislikes/hobbies.. I was considering like a real friend.. gradually we chatted and became quite close friends. and I came to know he was for REAL. And he didn't say even 1 lie. I saw his facebook so.. But by this time it was very late and I couldn't tell him the truth abt my real identity. It could've hurt him and he'd have never talked to me again... Anyway, I thought there's no other option than to get AWAY from him. But donno how?? There are two IDEAS : 1) Should I simply delete my a/c and get disconnected?? Or, 2) Make up a story and then go??? Like : I'd send him a mail saying, "This is your friend's sister/relative.. sorry to inform you but your friend (me) is no longer in this world." And then I'd delete my a/c. So he'll never find out the truth. P.S. : He is a lonely child of 15. Additional Details : I've tried simply deleting my youtube channel to get rid of him, once before.. but then he sent me mails saying he was badly hurt and crying stuff.. Also it made me sad and emotional, so I had to get in touch once again. But this time I wanna go forever. :(
Should i leave my internet friends?
Okay so about 3 years ago, i started a youtube channel. I got over 1000 subscribers and did reviews on toys/dolls. I then didnt like the doll line anymore so i stopped doing videos, but in the time i made videos, i went on a website called "tinychat" where i met friends with common likes. Three years later, we still talk. Although some of them left, a couple of us are still here. They do mean alot to me, but i've found myself on the laptop way more then i used to. It feels like its taking over my life...I mean i do go outside and hang out with my friends in real life, but i talk to my internet friends way more. I used to go outside like, all day, but now i only go outside for like 30 minutes to an hour a day. I stay up till about 2-4 everynight talking to them. It used to be hard to do, but now its a unhealthy habit. Now i talk to them so much its just cutting off alot of things in my life. Soon i am starting pottery classes and drama classes and am gonna also volunteer at a horse farm. I was thinking how much i could do without having to go on the computer for 5 hours a day. I mean i do love my internet friends, but the time i go on the computer is just out of hand... If you have any questions just ask and i will edit this question and answer. Please help :/
How to make internet friends?
I know this sounds like a weird question, but where can you make internet friends? And it's not like I don't have any real friends, but I just need someone new (my school's really small) to talk to. Thanks, and I'm a teenager, so please don't give me any uber sketchy sites...

How to say goodbye to Internet friends?
Ok so my parents are having a really hard time paying bills and they have decided that they are going to cut off the Internet. I am really worried because I have made so many good friends on the Internet. Like on Xbox live, and YouTube. Now I feel heart broken that I have to say goodbye to them because my Internet is going to get cut off. I have LOTS of friends in real life, but my Internet friends feel much more compelling to me. How can I say goodbye to them?
How do you find new friends online?
Even I wondered the same thing few months back. I really wanted to try out something new through online platform. Good to know I am not alone.Making friends in-person can be really overwhelming, especially when you’re an introvert like me.But online friendships are easily made and actually might last lifelong. It’s not necessary to meet them personally, as long as you ‘click’ with them.Personally I feel online friends are the best, you don’t have to impress them in any way, they won’t judge you by your appearance and speaking to them is much easier. This blog by Huffingtonpost confirms my claim.I would say get a dedicated app that is geared towards online friendships. As for my personal experience, I was browsing through social media and I found out about Findmate.I just looked through it and before I know it I was fanatical about it. I made some amazing friends on there within just few days. It’s quite safe, because you don’t have to converse with total weirdos or strangers, but people in and around your location. You’ll know what I am on about once you look through the app. Good luck!
My parents worry about my internet friends?
Sit them down and talk. I've made quite a few friends on Tumblr, and I've even gone to a meetup around my area. My dad was completely fine with online friends but oh, my mom .. she was unbelievably angry when she found out I was Skyping and camming with people I've met through the internet. I had her sit down and we had a long and thorough talk. She wanted me to cut off all connections with my internet friends. We made a deal. I know it's kind of stupid and weird, but basically what we did was I had my mom sit down beside me while I Skyped and cammed with my friends, and she got to know them. She eventually loosened up (even though it took quite a while) and she finally let me talk to them on my own. Of course, she was still a bit hesitant but she gave me a super long lecture and she told me not to share anything really personal (my address and such). One of the people I met through Tumblr ended up being my best friend. We cammed nearly every day and there was a meetup in our area. We decided to both go, and we got super close. I didn't tell my mom about the meetup since she would've never let me. Well, it's been almost 3 years since we've known each other and even though we live a bit far from each other, we still go hang out at least once a week. Sorry for the bunch of text, but just talk to them about it. REALLY talk. Tell them about your friends and explain all your reasons and just try to get them to understand. It might take a while, but trust me, they'll eventually understand. Good luck!!
Telling your parents about internet friends?
I have a few internet friends, and since Christmas is coming up, we want to send presents to each other. Before I even started skyping them and adding them on facebook, I made sure that they were teenagers, like myself. So I know they are teenagers and not online predators. So, to the sending presents thing, I need to tell my mom about them and tell her that we want to send gifts to each other. How can I tell my mom without her freaking out? (By the way, I haven't given them my address or anything. I'm waiting until I get my mom's approval.)
