Recently, I've been really good friends with someone I met online, actually better than anyone I know IRL, but I've been wondering, do you find online friends just as important as real life friends? I bring this up because my parents keep saying how online friends aren't real, but what about pen pals? Weren't they considered real friends? And if someone I met online is a better friend than I know in real life surely that says something? I'm not saying this as if I have no real life friends, I'm just saying that I prefer my online friends.
