1. Kidlink's mission is to help kids and youth get friends around the world, and build social networks with your new friends.
2. When you have registered, other Kidlink users can find your self-presentation. Write your answers so that those looking for friends with your interests and hobbies can find you. Provide as much information as you can. Success depends on what you write.
3. Your self-presentation may help you meet interesting persons, but is rarely enough to get a new friend. You must "talk" with those you meet to see if they are what you think they are.
4. When your registration has been approved, you will receive a personal user name and password. Using these you can search the response database to find people with your interests and hobbies, and join Kidlink's various chat areas.
5. Keep your password secret, or risk that others appear on Kidlink's chat channels pretending to be you.

Tell them this one week in advance, and show examples. Consider give it as a home assignment. Emphasize the importance of submitting reflective rather than sloppy responses.
