Having a veggie penpal, either online or through the post,
can be a fun way to make new friends and learn more about vegetarianism.
If you've just become a vegetarian and are feeling a bit
isolated, a pen pal can give you a confidence boost! Or, you may be an
experienced vegetarian who just likes to chat with like-minded people and
learn about different cultures and countries.
It is possible to make lots of really nice new friends on the Internet,
but you must be very careful never to give out any of your personal
information.
Follow all of the safety advice, and never meet up with
your friends without an adult being present. If you become suspicious
of your internet pen pal show your letters to your parents.

It may be nice, but it's not what this list is for! We reserve the
right to turn down inappropriate entries.
OK? Then fill in the forms below but please read the safety guidelines first!
WARNING!!
We do try to be careful about putting people on the penpals
lists - but there is no way of knowing for sure that anyone is
who they
say they are. (e.g. it is very easy for a man to pretend to be
a teenage girl on the internet!). Please consider the following
safety
measures:
Do consider signing up to a web-based email service (eg yahoo or hotmail) rather than using your home email address as an additional safeguard.
If you are very young, it is also a good idea to use the email address belonging to one of your parents and to mention that you are doing this.
NEVER arrange to meet anyone unless it is in a public place and you have an adult relative present.
NEVER meet anyone from a penpal list without informing your parents.
If you are using email NEVER give out your home address, phone number or personal details (such as which school you attend and what you look like). We won't publish this sort of information on the list and you are strongly advised not to include it in your messages.
NEVER pass on addresses to a third party.
