Making Pals On Scratch
New Scratchers may have a bit of trouble finding what their passion is in their first few days. Now, many friends are loyal, so it's essential to have a couple friends handy. The new Scratchers can find many things they are good at, bad at, anything, really-when they have a loyal friend by their side. Now I'm going to stop talking about this, and start answering a question: How do I make friends on Scratch? Well, it's pretty much like making friends offline, in person. But online, there are new ways to make friendships! Let's say you see a project. You check out the creator's profile and look at their other shared projects. They all are awesome. You comment on their profile. They answer, and it makes you feel happy. But was tat making friends? No. Those comments were just like on the street, saying a quick ‘hello’ to a passerby. You aren't making friends with them, right? No. What you have to do is to say ‘I want to be friends with you.’ You have to make them understand that you want to be friends with them. Follow them, for example. Or love or favorite their projects. See? You wouldn't be able to do this in real life. DON'T try teasing them unless you are sure you and the other person are friends and you are just teasing them, and not really being mean. Try sending them a really nice comment. Maybe give them a ‘heads up’ that you are going to follow them. And, after you've become friends, you have to continue doing that! Chat in comments and make projects especially for them. If you do not do things like this, you and your friend will drift away. And don't be afraid of having that happen to all of your friends, leaving you friendless. Because you'll always come across a new friend to hang with! And don't worry, I'll always be here if you need a friend!
