Not weird at all. I do that all the times. I like to make new friends over the internet too.
You can see it as he just a text buddy and nothing else. But be careful when you interact with people over the internet. A lot of people are "catfish."
Meaning they try to fake as someone else. (By stealing someone's profit pictures and use as their own. It happens all the time.) So If you ever have any type of relationship with this guy that you been talking to, make sure that you can verify him as who he really is like he said by either Skype-ing or some type of live webcam chat.
Because you can fake as someone else another person pictures, but you can't fake a live chat one where you get to see the other person in real time.
Its not weird at all. It is okay to give him your kik but make sure you don't give our personal details because you never know who they really are. Kik is okay because you don't see there face.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
