    HI i am mouse99 i have been on the site for little over a year now. I was recently grounded and i had no computer so this was not only hard on me but my penpals too. I was excited to come back on but sad when i had learned some of my penpals thought i was mad at them. This is a great site and very safe i think that anyone should think about joining and everyone should know this is the best place to find a penpal

I have met many friends and quite a few of them I've been corresponding with for lots of months! this has been the place where i can get to know people from around the world.
    its cool... so, please dont close this place down!

    I really hope you do not shut this site down. It is really really good and I have made so many new friends. My penpals and I talk all the time! I will be really sad if this site closes beacuse I love how you can talk to other kids your age and be sure that it really is a kid not an imposter. I have been a member for almost 6 years now and hope that I can continue using it till I turn 14 and that other kids can use it so they can talk to their penpals till they turn 14. I really hope you don't close down this site!!!!!!!!!

    I'd wanted a penpal for ages and ages. I was hoping to get a "snail-mail" penpal but when I found this I decided that an Internet one would probably be more handy. I made lots of friends on here and I have one really special friend who lives in America. It was interesting to meet all of these new people who I would never have met without this site. I'd appreciate it if the site didn't close, but we always have email if it does.

    KSC is taking a very long time to decide whether it is closing or not, and, to be honest, I'm not sure why they were going to close in the first place. They have not made their reason very clear. It would be nice to know soon if it's closing or not, because it has been strung out for a long time.

    Life long friends and people to talk to... all this sais KSC. Is there no way for somebody to be kind enough to help a site for children, where hundreds maybe thousands of children, can go. If KSC shuts down many children will loose the ability to talk to one another, loose friends loose out on having so much... Please dont shut down KSC it means so much to me, its almost part of growing up!

    Over the years I have met many people on KSC. Some who only responded to my letters once, but others who I have had over 100 messages with. I am sad that this is going to be gone...I have already looked for another site like this but, they just aren't safe for kids. KSC is great with that it has much more safety to provide kids with than any other site that I have ever found. I think that all of us that go on this site are sad to let it go..but we would all love it if it could stay!!!

    Ksc has given me the freedom to be who I am and make friends that are now quite close. Before KSC I was insecure and I tried to be something I'm not.People would tease about how I was 'too friendly'. but through the help of KSC I have made friends who think I am just friendly. I have made friends all over the world. So please, If you care about the way children feel don't take this away fom us.It would be like a piece missing from our hearts.

    You shouldn't close because alot of friendships have been made here. And new friends have joined clubs,making other frineds. And old friends that have moved away can talk to each other on here.I also think you shouldn't close because you have alot of people who are involved. And you would have just wasted their time.And if you close then friendships would be broken and they wouldn't know where to meet up again. so alot of friends will be lost.
    please consider my message and other people's messages. because this place means alot to them and to me. so i am asking you as an involved person. To not close!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i don't want KSC to close, think about all the other children who go on this site and have made friends, i've made a great penpal and i don't like the fact that KSC is closing, my sister goes on here aswell so sometimes we talk on KSC but if it closes then i'd find a different site but it wouldn't be as safe, no one else could learn about different cultures, lifestyles or poverty in other parts of the world. Why would someone want to take that away from thousands of other children.

    Once again, I shall state that closing KSC would be absolutely terrible!!! There is no other website like this on the internet except MySpace, but I know I'm not going there! Besides, this is safe, and closing it would weigh on your conscience for the rest of your natural life and eventually take you to a grave covered in misery and disappointment! So many friendships are on this site between too many people to count, that ruthlessly destroying them would destroy your very soul the night after you destroyed KSC! Just, please, don't!!

    I met one of my best "friends" on this site when I was 12 or 13. I'm 17 now, and we still write to one another. It would be terribly depressing if other kids were not given the opportunity that I was when I used this site. Writing to other kids around this world is important, and this site, in my opinion, is the best for young kids. I wish you the best of luck.

    This site is important to me because when my dad had cancer last year, I met a friend on ksc who helped me deal with my feelings about my dad and him being sick. I didn't have anybody to talk to at school because nobody understood. My friends at ksc helped me alot!
    I met another friend that was going to help me to write stories, but since the site is closing, now she'll never be able to help me. The day that I found out that ksc was closing, I started to cry.

    Hello!
    I am writing to tell you how much i enjoy KSC. It has put me in contact with so many interesting and unusual people. I have learnt about different cultures and different ways of life. I hope that KSC does not close down it has given me an insight into another persons life and I have made many very good friends on here.
    So I think KSC is amazing, it is so much fun to get emails from other people who are actually interested in my boring day to day life. I have helped people in projects and people have helped me.
    This site helps me meet people whom I would not meet any way and I am very sad to hear that it could go.

    Please do not shut down KSC. As a teacher Who homeschool's Childen Parents have Allowed there kids to go on KSC and find a few PenPals from all around the Country. Sometimes they will get educated with the countrys. They pick on Country each week and they do some research by reading, talking to the penpal, using the computer and others. I have found that this is the easiest way to get the kids to learn about the countrys. I have found that i Personally like this website because they can pick who they would like to be PenPals with And i can Monitor What they are doing.

    I ask you please do not shut down KSC they kids will be so disappointed,

That was me when I first started but when i made friends in KSC I felt better about myself and it helped me and my grades at school too! I even went to Japan to see my penpal and it was the greatest experience of my life! if it weren't for KSC i wouldnt of went the many places i have before and i wouldnt be the person i am today. please keep KSC open!

    Please don't do away with this site! I have two daughters who both have pen pals on this site and I believe that this is such a great opportunity for them to be able to meet and correspond with children all around the world. We have looked on the world atlas to see where their pen pals live and this is very educational for them. I feel that this is a very safe site for them to chat on and I would hate for this opportunity to disappear. Please reconsider closing this site. There are so few "safe" places for our children to explore the world.

    Hey, my name is Madison McBee. I have been on since last summer. I have made sooooo many penpals it is hard to let them go. Whe have exchanged e-mail addresses. But it isn't the same as KSC. It is not as well exiting. I know on the internet you can see pictures o' people, But it isn't the same. Who cares about all the other sites, a lot o' kids love KSC. Most o' my buddys all love KSC. Pleas don;t close, I'm begging you. Please!!!!!!!!

    To whom it concerens. I became a member about three years ago and because of KSC have made many friends from around the world. I have always wanted an internet pal but my parents don't agree with AIM because of safty issuses. Now I havn't joined a club and prabaly won't because of this problem, but if KSC keeps running I will join a club. have you ever wante someone to talk to, besids your parents? Well I have expierienced this, My uncle was diagnosed with brain cancer a couple months ago, and my mom is a 28 year bone cancer survivor. My parents are also divorced so it is hard to have a happy family. Now what does this have to do with KSC? Well here you can meet people just like you and talk about any thing. PLEASE consider helping, It would mean so much to me and I knw many more people would appreicet tis also.

    Wow. When I first read that KSC could possibly be closing, I couldn't believe my eyes! I joined KSC when I was nine, and have kept the same account and many of the same penpals. We've grown up together. We share when we're happy, we share when we're sad, and help each other out. This past year I was accepted into in an Honors Spanish class. It was hard work, but my Spanish speaking friends were incredibly helpful. This website is also soo much safer than many of the other penpal websites. Your system prevents too much unsafe information from being published. Overall, close if you must, but know that a hole will be left in the hearts of thousands of children from around the world.

    Ok, imagine you are a 10 year old girl, nervous about school, her dog and Great Aunt just died. That was me when I first joined KSC. I started out joining and getting like 320 friends. One girl was like my EXACT TWIN! I also talked to people all over the world! Some of the places were, Germany, Japan, China, England, Ireland, U.S.A, Brazil, France, Italy, Greece, Wow there are to many to name! I learned many many languages, French, Latin, Spanish, Italian, Greek, and even some Mandarin Chinese! Not only was this educational IT WAS FUN! I joined clubs about everything from discussing polotics and religion to my celebrity crush Cole Sproue! I had a penpel who was affected by the Tsunami and we worked together and raised awarness and money. My penpal from Malaysia sent me postcards. My friend from India explained what Hindi people believe and I explained Christianity. Alot of my discussions with people varied from Ludacris' awesome song "Money Maker" to how some people were battling peer pressure. If this closes it could 100% ruin some people's lives! Without KSC I wouldn't have joined my school's geography bee, I wouldn't understand other peoples veiws on political issues, and honestly I might not have as much self confidence... Please don't close KSC if it is humanly possible. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and I'm sorry about the cut funding.

    Okay, because of my busy life, I kind of forgot about KSC. I forgot the password to my account, and even forgot my account name. I felt ashamed, since I'd made so many friends from so many different places, so I decided to come back and make another account, but then I discovered I couldn't because of what's going on. I am deeply upset, because I was looking forward to e-mailing new people from new places. I don't know of any other site like this, and once, while I still remembered my account and password, my Austrian pen-pal was able to give me some information I needed to complete a project about Austria. And if she needed to do a project about the U.S., I would've helped her just like she helped me. So not only can KSC help children make friends across the border, it can help them understand the variety of different cultures in the world.

    Dear companies and co.
    hello my name is ellie macrae ( flower power ) I have been on this website since i was seven and i think it is the best website ever !! It has come to my attention that my favourite website kids space connection is in trouble so i think instead of sponsering some teenage downloads site or something like that you should sponser kids space connection. This site gives us a chance to have long distance friendships and a peek into someone else's world!! I have made so many trustworthy and caring friends from around the world with this site and i will be very upset if it has to go! This site is very safe and reliable thats just another reason why this site should stay alive! I can speak for everyone that uses this site by saying ALL OF US NEED THIS SITE AND WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!

    -Or we could not complain at all and do what KSC thinks is right. I have a lot of friends on here too, about 68.

    I think KSC is the best and safest chat room ever!! It is the only way for me to talk to one of my closest friend because she lives far away(an hours drive). Tell this to your sponsor. If you stop sponsering KSC, think of all the people who won't meet new people, think of the teachers who want their students to have an online pen pal, think of the parents that would be disapointed that their child isn't meeting new kids, think of the KSC staff who want kids like me to meet new people.
    SO DON'T STOP KSC IT IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEND TO ME AT THE AGE OF 9.

    Let's think hard what we can do to save the site with finding sponsors. Crying does not help, because the site needs real support, not words.

    We can:
    - talk with parents and make donation from the front page link
    - spread the story (KSC is going to close) and send the URL of this page
    (like, sending emails to TV channels and big companies)

    Can you think of something else?

    I had a lot of friends at my old school now i go to a new school, and it isn't as easy, but i do have friends but ,most of my friend were here at this site. Once i stayed up chating with Dove [a pen-pal] until 1:00 in the morning. She hasn't wrote back for a while but i'm okay with that because she said that she had a lot of stuff going on. She is my best friend ever. even though we don't talk i'll never forgegt the one who changed my life. The one thing i could never forget is when we wouldn't stop talk and that the first time she e-maild me it was about "Stacy's Mom" because i love that song and her mom is named Stacy and her mothers mom loves that song. But their is a lot i will miss when/if it shuts down.

    Through KSC we as a family have met some great folks all over the world. Melinda, my 9 year old, has really enjoyed having KSC as a friendship tool. She as well as Us have learned alot about other cultures through this great program. We have befriended a family from Africa through KSC and have exchanged phone calls, email addresses, and emails over the 2 years we've known them. If it wasnt for KSC this would have never been possible! We are looking to make a trip to Africa in the near future and they are doing the same thing! KSC has really been a success with our family!!

    I have wanted for years to have a pen pal. The internet tends not to be a safe place. My mom found this site and let my brother and I join it. My brother is now 14(too old for the site). I am 12, almost out grown it. But the friends that I have made on here con't be replaced. I have had some hard times in my family. Being able to talk them out with my KSC friends helped soooooooo much. If KSC closes down, not only will my heart be broken, but millions of other kids! PLEASE DON"T CLOSE DOWN!!!!

    Dear KSC and supporters:
    Please don't shut this down. Because I like this network so you can make new friends on the internet and even write to them and tell them what you like and stuff. Another reason is that you can meet kids from other countries and talk to them all the time. And well, this is the greatest site in the world! And if it gets shut down then we would all get really sad and cry and we won't be able to make new friends. So please don't shut it down - for us! Thank you! I hope you understand!

    I have met many great friends on KSC and I hope I can meet more still. I have met Girls and Boys from many places including Canada. Ive met someone who lives in Tennesee and has seen the houses of many of my idols (country singers) The two of us seem to have everything in common and I wish the two of us can stay in touch through KSC. I have taught French to people from other countrys(most the US) because I take it as a second language. I am hoping the club feature can come so that some of my penpals can meet my other penpals and so on. I have never acually met my penpals (except for one who i acually got on KSC) but I hope in the future, I can become close to these girls and boys.
    Thank You KSC for letting me learn about other countries and cultures while teaching others as well and making friends all at the same time!

    I love KSC! I have made so many new friends and am learning alot about new culters wether it be from the city,the state,the country, or even the continent next to mine. I'm friends with a girl who has cancer and through her journey through this she has written me every single day and told me how it feels. I will miss KSC more than I will miss my own flesh in blood. In a way KSC has become a part of me more important to my body than my own heart. so remember this if you take KSC away from all these kids including myself it will be like taking the breath away from their chest or even more likely to kill them. So don't take what is precious to me and to more kids than a calculator can count.

I have also learned a lot about other countries, continents, states, and cities. If KSC shut down, I would not be able to talk to kids from other countries and loose some of my best friends. A lot of my friends have helped me with problems and kept me cumpony. What will I do without my friends? I think that having this site shut down would be very hard for me. My sister and lots of other people think the same as I do. My penpals have been a great support.

    I had been searching for a penpal for quite a while. so my mom went looking for pen pal sites where people might ACTUALLY respond. she found this site and we started to explore and I finally signed up. I remember that I had asked two people to be my first pen pals on this site and I would check my message box here just to see if any of them responded. Then the next day when I logged on, I found out that a couple people wanted to be my penpal. I was VERY excited that I quickly responded and now after about... I think it's about a year I've been on or something, I have some really good friends from here! Please don't close down the site... Else you will have some very sad peoples here... :(

    I have been on KSC for almost 3 years. I have friends that I will have for many years to come. Some I have had the fun of meeting on holidays, others (with parents permission) I have got to talk to on the phone. The things I have learned about kids in other countries is more then I could have possibly gotten from the class-room at school. I have shared homework experiences with my epals, shared help and suggestions to study better and even have improved my grades in certain areas like social studies with the help of friends on KSC. I can give a report on "first hand experience" of what is going on in a kids life in other countries and parts of the U.S. But most of all I don't have to worry!! I don't have to wonder if the person on the other end is like 40 years old and some kind of weird person because KSC has safeguards for that. My parents trust this site more then any on the net! If someone ever wanted to do something really great it would be to offer support for this site. I appeal now to parents. You want us kids to be safe, you want us to not be at risk, well here's the best place to do it!!! help the staff at KSC fight to keep this site open to us kids. Take a look at tv, newspapers, magazines and see what risks us kids have to take when we go on line. Give us a place we don't have to worry, but most of all give us the ability to keep our friends that we have had for so long and wish to keep for a longer period of time. Ok, I'm just a kid, but that don't mean I'm coldblooded and without feelings. Its the same for all the kids on this site. There are over 30,000 kids related to this site from most of the different parts of the world. You want a more peaceful place to live then give us kids a chance to grown up caring for one another in other parts of the world instead of joining all the "hate groups". Pleae save this site. I am sorry I have babbled this long, but its from the heart and I don't want to loose my friends. they mean a great deal to me. Thanks you (Teddiebear 11)

    I've been on here for about one year. But I'm dissipointed
    that my 4 year old brother could not join. He said that he really wanted to talk to other people on the internet. I've made some friends and lost some. When a kid died at my
    school I was sad but I talked to my KSC friends and it made
    me feel better. Trialbyfire was a great penpal. Hes cool,smart,creative,and fun to talk with. I haven't been able to talk to starboy or Trialbyfire if it wasn't for Kids space connection. Goo Goo I think thats her name is is really nice I would hate to not be able to talk to her. I've made some friends over Kids Space Connection I would hate to loose them. A friend is forever thats a Boy Scout promiss!

    I was searching for penpal sites because the one I had previously signed up for was very disappointing; no one ever responded. I ended up with almost 50 penpals from all over the world. I even started a culture club, which has been a huge success, with over 20 members. The club also taught me many things about other cultures, and I hope the other members benifited as well. I am 14 now, so I can no longer use the site, but I have stayed in correspondence with several of my penpals. We have become great friends. My closest friends through KSC are from places such as Finland, Malaysia, England, Australia, Egypt, Brazil, South Africa, and Sweden. This is a great experience. I have learned a lot and made friends for life. My little sister is also very enthusiastic about her pen friends. And it's very safe; my parents are very cautious about websites, and were very nicely surprised with how easy it was for them to monitor our messaging on KSC. The whole process is effective and ensures that only kids can use the site. It's not like a chat room, either. The "messages" are much more like emails, but very monitored. Now that I'm 14, I can sadly never use this site again, but I still would like to see it continue. If KSC were to shut down, my sister and thousands of other children worldwide would be devastated. Every little kid should have the opportunity I had to learn about other cultures and places and make new friends who share the same interests and dreams. This website encourages tolerance and peace between nations. It helps show that children all over the world want the same things. We are the future, and we should be listened to. I support KSC 100%, for the good of children everywhere!

    Dear KSC,
    When I looked up "kids penpals" the number one search was KSC. I asked my parents if I could join because I wanted some friends and it was free. They said yes. When I joined, I was overjoyed because all the people I wrote to answered and many people wrote me too. I met my closest friend on KSC because she chose me. When there were the first rumors about KSC closing, I was scared. I wrote to all those people and told them that that was probably something somebody made up to scare us. When I saw the notice from KSC saying that it would close, I was very sad. My parent's don't let me have email. Please, PLEASE keep KSC up and running, because otherwise I will lose my 49 friends here on KSC.
    Thank You for reading,

    Thanks to KSC I have made so many close friends! I'm home schooled, and the area where I live is not a very good one to make friends, so I came on here and now I have made lots of friends! They are very close and have taught me much about their cultures and where they live. My best friend, Laura, lives in Canada, so we may never meet. But we talk every day on the Internet and we've been talking on KSC for 5 years now. KSC has helped me become more responsible and socially mature; plus much more aware of whats going on throughout the world. Thanks KSC & please keep the sight going, so other miraculous friendships can occur!

    KSC really helped me learn more about the internet. I made some of my best friends on KSC and other websites, and now I don't feel lonely anymore. KSC and other sites have helped me learn how to be safer on the internet and detect internet predators. Without this site, I would know very little about the internet and its benefits. I would be very, very sad if KSC closed down. Thank you KSC!
