2. If you find someone you want to write to by searching our membership database, then just click at the link to "Send KidMail message."
3.

How do I find kids with the same interests as me?

Search our membership database, using words representing your interests. For example, search in what kids have written about themselves in the "First answer contains:" box, like "soccer"to find kids interested in soccer. .

Search our public membership database using words indicating your interests. For example, type "soccer" in the box by "Search for:" to find kids interested in soccer. Consider setting a start date for your search in the box by "Since:" before clicking at "Start the search." using the format of the examples at the bottom. Do this to avoid getting many kids who registered ages ago, and who may be adults by now. Make a note about the numbers of their registrations, and send them a KidMail as explained here.
