I was only twelve years old the first time I logged into a chat and started building relationships with strangers all over the world. In cyberspace I found what I was missing in my daily life: friends. I met people who were as mature as me and who didn't mind teaching me how to express my feelings through various ways, such as poetry and even short stories. Once I found a way to explore my feelings, life changed for me. When I felt bad I could go online and express how I felt, and my friends convinced me to share how I felt in ways that would help others and be productive for me. This was the first time I truly felt anything remotely close to being loved, they cared about my well-being and I cared.
