ShannyBananny @shaggin (74987) • United States 19 Nov 15

My son is very nervous of strangers. I never taught him to be that way. Cautious yes but not as nervous as he is! If a stranger talks to him he usually won't answer them even when I am with him and tell him it is okay to respond....

Dargath @Dargath (7) • Belgium 19 Jan 11

Do you think that someone you only know by (e)maling to him/her can become a real friend? Do you think this can happen without those 2 people to meet in the real life?
