So, I usually don’t discuss my own opinions of Wattpad because I used to a lot in the past. To be honest, is it just me, or do I kind of wish they brought back PM? Don’t get me wrong, it feels like a breath of fresh air to not have to hear of so many reporting books about people anymore or have that kind of drama on here. However, it’s been roughly 2 years… and I don’t like how I can’t even see my old PMs with people. It’s actually very saddening. I feel like this is a Wattpad AND user issue because…. I remember that there were SO many bullies and it was ultimately why they shut down PM, but then again, why can’t Wattpad ACTUALLY keep the kids on here safe? 
          	
          	I deeply miss PM because I no longer have people I can talk to you because I forgot about them and even though old Wattpad was… dramatic, I was a young teen back then. If PMs were to be unlocked again, I feel like I would be able to handle it better. It just sucks that I will never encounter old followers again and I’ll never be able to PM someone about their books or how they’re doing. I know you can do that with DMs, but it’s really not the same anymore. I always feel sad coming on here because it doesn’t FEEL like Wattpad. 
          	
          	This actually correlates to another app. It’s called Flat.io and it’s supposed to be a music software, but it’s constantly used for drama posts and such. I feel like it’s MY fault with all of this because I was one of those kids that was depressed and constantly needed SOMEONE to care about me, so I posted a lot of rant books and scores. In fact, on Flat.io, people say that I ultimately “started to rant posting.” So, I feel like all of this is my fault. 
          	
          	Sorry for the rant!

@Lexiluvdinos03 I feel like this is also Wattpad's fault because other apps are able to keep their users safe somewhat or have a better reporting system, while Wattpad's reporting system isn't safe.

@Olivia_Benedetti I agree. The craziest stuff that happened to me online was from this site! From impersonations to bullying to a user faking a disorder, Wattpad was a crazy place to be. Without PMs though, it feels a lot more isolating on here.

Hello! I hope you guys can see this, but I have more good news. 
          Basically, I received 26K in scholarships, so my tuition is completely covered, and I received a music scholarship worth 5K, which is their maximum amount. 
          I’m very happy because I didn’t expect that much and now I get to participate in early teaching. I’m on track to become certified in Spanish, which is crazy because this is only my 2nd year of learning Spanish. I just need one more class. I really want to try mandarin, Italian, or French next since being an educator that can speak multiple languages can make my salary higher AND be better for a job. 
          Finally, this is a personal journey, but I’m the journey of losing weight. Now, admittedly, I’m not as strict with my diet, but instead, I’m trying to focus on exercising and limiting sugar. So, I’ve switched to zero sugar Coke and I DID eat a cookie today, but I plan on going to the gym tomorrow and taking a longer walk today. This is good because I’m able to walk up stairs without being completely deflated and walking is actually enjoyable now.

I don't expect many people to see this, but I have some cool news regarding college.
          I was accepted into the honors college and the college of musical arts at my university! This is a big deal to me because flute is very competitive at my university and I got in.

It’s crazy…
          I was on Wattpad when I was 12 years old. I spent hours on this app, writing books, talking through the private messaging, and reading. At one point, I had so many followers that I was close to 1K on an account of mine. I didn’t have much friends in the real world, not really in real life either even today, so I guess this was the best place to find some. And it was. 
          Now, I’m 17…. Instead of 7th grade I am in 12th, and all of my closest friends I have either forgot their user or they have left Wattpad. I miss the older days where I was upset with Wattpad drama than life…. And I regret WASTING my time on Wattpad drama instead of being with my mom or joining a new club. I wish I focused on hobbies and book writing than the opinion of others. I can’t help but to feel like I wasted a chunk of my life over drama that wasn’t meaningful to my everyday life. 
          So, if any of my followers aren’t adults yet and are still teenagers or there are somehow teenagers left on this app, please don’t waste time on drama on social media. It isn’t worth it… there’s a digital footprint and your memory holds all of those memories too of being upset and staying up during the night. But worst of all, you’ll go years of your life, missing out on opportunities you could’ve done. I know some of you might not have friends like me or were victims of bullying and narcissism from the education system like me, but you’ll still miss and regret the times you COULDVE done something new. With that being said, not everyone I used to know are following me or here, but thank you to everyone who has followed me on my journey and have been here. Thank you to the good people for filling the void and making me feel welcome.
