Unschooling Kids Chat or IM locations?

[jerritt]

My 8 yo daughter loves the computer. She is also super social. I think she would love to talk to some other HS/unschooled kids on line. Does anyone know if a place exists for on line chat/IM for unschooled kids? We are rather new to unschooling, and are just starting to develop a community here in town. She still has a few friends from her old school, and we are participating more in local activities with the secular HS group, but I know she would love to chat with unschooling kids on line, too, if there is a relatively safe place to do this. Thanks so much for any information, Jerritt

P.S. I am aware that no place on the internet is completely "safe," but we would have on going talks about what is and is not appropriate to divulge on line. Thanks again.

Depending on her interests, a lot of the online role playing games can be a good way to socialize, too - Runescape was Ray's favorite when he was younger, and there are lots of unschoolers playing WoW - whole guilds even.
