In this video segment from FRONTLINE: "digital_nation," meet Jonathan and Kitten, teens who became friends through an online forum. Because they live far away from each other, they are able to talk about things going on in their lives that they would not want to share with someone they see at school. After six years of talking online, Jonathan and Kitten finally meet in person.
