First, register. Write your answers to the four questions so that those looking for friends with your interests and hobbies can find you. Provide as much information as you can. Success may depend on what you write. Adding a photo of yourself definitely helps! (Want to read some other kids' answers first?)

When registered, others can find you in our Member archive. They can find kids with similar interests, and make contact.

If they see you visiting in KidCom, a click at your nickname will bring up your self-presentation. Just another click to make contact.

You may also present your desired future job in My Future Job, and your views on the future Making Our World Better.

We call your self-presentation for "Your KidPage." You may change your answers and add other photos of yourself later.

Your parents and school may be concerned about what might happen if you tell about yourself on the Internet. Read our notes about the side effects of answering the four questions, and talking publicly with other kids through Kidlink.
