You can write to people all over the world and get letters and pictures back
You can make friends with someone without meeting them. You might want a penfriend from the country your family came from or a country you have never been to. You might want a penfriend who is interested in the same things as you no matter how different that might be; for example not eating meat or writing your own poems and songs.
YOU MUST NEVER GIVE YOUR ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER TO ANYONE WITHOUT CHECKING WITH SOMEONE OLDER THAN YOU (WHO IS OVER 18) FIRST. YOU MUST NEVER MEET ANYONE YOU HAVE NOT MET BEFORE UNLESS YOU GO WITH SOMEONE WHO CARES FOR YOU
