We held an IAM drive day - the first time I met up with random strangers off the internet. I felt very hypocritical - as a parent it was just the sort of thing parents tell their children not to do. Needless to say the day went very well as have the many ADUK/ADH days of more recent years.
A number of us can vouch for Mr C-W. If there was anything bad about the proposal, there would have to be an awful lot of us in on it. I am sure it would be worth your making the time after your exams.
I'm not concerned about meeting anybody off here, I shall say!
I've not been subject to grooming or anything of a questionable nature on this website, so no concerns here
It's just that my parents, for whatever reason, have decided to raise me in a pretty sheltered way, so I almost never go out by myself, even now. This does mean when I do go out, my parents are often very inquisitive and they dislike me meeting people off the internet. I do have plans to become more active in the world when I've done my exams, and get a job and so on, so hopefully my parents will become more relaxed about me being out by myself!
