Do you think it is wrong to be really good friends with someone that your never going to meet in reality?

I play on this website and I go on the chatrooms every now and then. I met this girl. She claims that she is 17 and she lives in New York. I'm only 13 and I am still a little bit naive but I gave her my address because my birthday is soon and she wanted to send me a present. I have called her a few times but my friend brought to my attention that it could be a trap. I text her everyday and she helps me with my problems and stuff but now that i sat down and thought long and hard about it, I'm afraid that I made a big mistake.

Not wrong. I'm mostly fine or just neutral towards this. But if the friendship becomes exceedingly close to a certain point, I will find it quite odd. :/

I have a wonderful friend who I've never met in real life. I met her on Neopets when we were 13 and now we're friends on facebook. We video blog and sing songs to each other and tell each other our problems. I talked to her when she was suicidal and she helped me when I was depressed.

I was super cautious about giving her information, so she doesn't know my address, but she has my phone number and knows the city I live in.

For you, you may have made a mistake, but it's too late to do anything about it other than be super careful in the future. Keep your wits about you and maybe tell your parents that you're a bit worried about what you've done.

I had an online friend for a while in high school. We talked on the phone sometimes, but mostly on AIM and Myspace (it was back in those days). I think you need to be careful though. I would advise not to give your address, though I did give my friend mine so he could mail me a letter (probably not the smartest idea).

Outside of safety I don't think there's anything wrong with it! It's fun to meet someone different from you and to have a friend you can confide in that really doesn't know anyone else you do.
