hello! I'm not from America (i'm from drizzly old England) so even though loads of people are, don't feel like its just an American site. I've been here for a few weeks now and have found most people to be warm and lovely (even though some of them do consider peanut butter and jam an acceptable sandwich filling! :-))
So, yep, you're in the right place!
by the way i'm 23 so there are people around your age here too.
