Having a friend online can help you be comfortable to talk anything with them considering that they know less or nothing about you although it can sometimes be very dangerous because you equally don't know much about this online friend and you may not be certain of their intentions.

In my opinion, many pros are: you can be yourself around them, they often understand you, most of them really care about you and love you and they are there when you feel upset. Cons are: different timezones, if you live in different countries you might not meet them and you never know who you're talking to

Making friends is always a nice thing. Making friends online is not so different. But, there are pro's and con's for having an online friendship. The main con is distance. Sure, you could be a mile apart of each other, but you could also be thousands of miles apart. With the pro's of online friendship, you will still have a friend to help you out.

There are too many pros to list them all. Finding a friend online is useful if you're too busy to meet people or if you're feeling lonely. Usually the bonds are stronger but there are some cons too. They may not be the person you expected, you may lose contact over time.

Making friends online can be good, because there may be people with similar interests. Having conversations about shared interests gets one's mind off the negatives. A negative to making an online friend, is that one may see the friend as someone to depend on. The friend might not always be there, and may not show compassion when approached with a negative situation.

If you make a friend online and your comfortable with that friend you can share your problems with that unknown friend of yours without caring what he'll think because he personally doesn't know...on the other hand you can't trust him until he's earned your trust which will take quite a time....

A pro is that you get to know each other’s personality before you actually see them where as a con is that you can’t actually hang out with them or give each other hugs
