teenster3, don't give up yet. When I joined PT, I started with a thread about rescuing cats, and soon after, I got replies. I was thrilled about it, as I'd never been on a Forum before.

Within a month or two, I started getting PM's and got to know people a little better. Of course, you'll always get to know the ones best who have the same animals, or interests as yourself, but that's just fine - so keep on posting and tell about yourself and your pets!

If you want to talk to memebers about your own age, take a look at this thread where members tell what age they are.

What age?

There are a few more.

Also, if you see someone post and you feel "connected" because of the same interests etc. you can always send them a PM and see what happens.
