How do I find a pen pal?
It’s a great idea to want to communicate with people; however, there can be substantial dangers.There are web pages that provide matches between potential pen pals (this may involve just exchanging email or it could involve snail mail). If you are under age 18, some of these sites may not permit you to sign up, or might not offer appropriate matches. I particularly urge under 18 females not to expose themselves to this risk.It would be much safer to find a pen pal through known connections, for example, a friend of a friend or relative. (No contact is completely without risk; but this would be much less risky than going to an open pen pal forum).If you do go to a web site that matches penpals… Please be aware of possible risks!!!Much like dating web sites— these sites attract a lot of people who either misrepresent themselves or are con artists.DO NOT send anyone money.If someone demands personal contact information off-site immediately, don’t provide it.Be aware that if the photo you post of yourself is a duplicate of an image that you have posted elsewhere on the web… people can easily find you. For example, if you use the same photo for your penpal account and Facebook, potential pen pals (even those you don’t contact directly) can find your Facebook page.Searching for matching photos is easy. Just use the Chrome browser, enter the URL images.google.com, and drag and drop the photo into the search box… you can also do this to find out if the person you are exchanging messages with is using a photo that clearly does not belong to him or her.Unless you are really certain the person is legitimate (and that takes a lot of time), do not provide information about how to contact you off-site. You can end up with a stalker (particularly if you are female) if you reveal too much about yourself to someone.Make sure that the pen pal knows some third party knows about your messages and knows the pen pal’s identity.
How to get a pen pal? (old fashioned written letters)?
Well I am in the course Spanish 2 and I want a pen pal. I don't mean over the internet, i mean like writting real letters back and forth (snail mail as some people would call it) Is this a good idea? Would it be expensive? Is there a safe program or something where I can find a pen pal that speaks Spanish? Thank you:) Oh by the way I want someone like 13 or 14... 15 at the most but no higher. :D
Prison pen pal?
Hi, You've done a very generous thing, but if you're looking for "spice" and "danger" I'm afraid you're going to grow bored very quickly... most inmate correspondance is pretty mundane... I talk with my pen pals about books, philosophy, movies, pretty much anything and everything except their crimes... We got that topic cleared up and off the table early. Yes, the letters are inspected, both incoming and outgoing, mostly just to make sure that there is no contraband enclosed and that you're not hatching any escape plans. Sounds like by keeping personal information to yourself and using a POBox, you're already taking the proper precautions to prevent any problems. You do sometimes hear of terrible tragedies arising from pen pal relationships, but it's extremely rare and the odds of someone crossing the Atlantic upon release, bent on mischief or malice, are very long odds, indeed. The more common pitfall is to get nickled and dimed to death by requests for money or goods... don't fall for it! If you can afford it and want to do so, sending a moderate gift for holidays or birthdays is a lovely thing to do but do not be moved by pleas to send anything regularly...If he asks for things often, he's NOT in this for the friendship... the exception might be made for reasonable amounts of writing materials and postage, or a small sum of money from time to time to purchase these things- Many inmates are indigent and if that's the case, it would be a kindness to make it easy for him to keep up the exchange- My own experiences have been very pleasant and rewarding, and the fellows to whom I write are tickled to bits on the rare occassions when I send a little surprise- Postage stamps, the occassional book, stationery and the like- and the only thing I've ever been asked for was a few months ago, a pen pal who has become a dear friend asked if I could please send a specific book to a friend of his for that friend's birthday.

Is it dangerous to have "Pen Pals"?
I used to always want to have a pen pal when i was little lol i found this site a long time ago but its really good if you want one. But it's basically you send emails to eachother some you can also send mail and stuff. So heres where you gotta go www.penpalsnow.com you can search where you want your contact to be from like lets says china,japan,canada,brazil... anywhere. You can also make your own entry if you wanted. Now for the danger, i personally think its alright as long as you dont give your information to people like your phone number then your alright, but make sure you search for someone who's a lot like you and you can have a great convorsation with... and also close enough to your age. Make sure you get to know the persson before you give em your adresses unless you know its okay right away. Good Luck !!
