I don’t even know why I’m writing this, but yeah

I know that most people here are minors, and some are more vulnerable than others. Some of you come online just to make friends, and some might even end up dating — and that’s fine, as long as it’s safe and going well.
But please, be careful. It’s not only adults who can take advantage of minors (though I’m not saying adults are innocent); sometimes it can be other minors too. Always pay attention to what you share online and who you’re sharing it with. Not everyone has good intentions, you know?
If you’re the “older sibling”, try to look out for the younger ones and guide them so they don’t misuse the internet. And most importantly, take care of yourself. If something makes you uncomfortable, don’t keep it bottled up and make sure that you tell your parents or someone you trust, instead of doing something to yourself.
Take your time to build trust with people online. And if anything feels “off” or weird, don’t hesitate to block them.
The internet isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Stay safe out there, yeah?
Good day!
