i don‘t care. and many others don‘t either. it‘s cool that you worry about other‘s safety (i rly mean this) but it‘s non of your business who texts me and who not. I won‘t scare anyone, I have many friends also below my age and they are good. Still I appreciate what you think like and I understand you, but i don‘t care if some don‘t wanna text me. this is js for the ones who are bored or wanna talk abt smth, yk? sry
you’re nice about this and i appreciate that.
you say it’s none of my business. but that would be like letting an injustice go on without trying to stop it.
like if i see someone getting bullied, i’m going to step in.
if i see danger, i’m going to warn someone

@kipel73
I'm 20 tho...
So i think im fine.
@Norwolf6
But everyone on the interent SHOULD excerise caution.
I once texted with this boy who seemed perfectly normal to me (he did ask abt if i knew any girl 16-18 who were single and keep asking what i look like and maybye that;s was a flag) then asks my friend for **ods so yeah!
Also in general not everyone is trustworthy.

not only myself. if the building’s on fire i’ll bang on everyone’s door on the way out.
it sounds like cute_cupcake knows to be careful and hopefully is aware of all the different ways a person can find where you live without you even realizing that’s what they’re doing.
example: he asks, “so what do you do for fun?”
she answers, “hang out with my friends “
he says, “oh really, like mcdonald’s?”
she says, “horsey’s ice cream shop.”
since there’s only one horsey’s ice cream shop in the whole country, he now knows how to run into you.
some people know how to embed code in a link (that shouldn’t be clicked) to get your location.

have you met one of them?
here’s a surprising story. a couple lived next door to a man. the man invited the woman over for coffee. the woman goes, thinking ‘he’s my neighbor, what can happen? i know where he lives.’ he locked her in his basement. luckily, she had a chance to leave a clue for her husband, who she heard knocking and calling out to her. she spilled a desert that she was known for making on the kidnapper’s shirt. the husband saw the kidnapper’s shirt and knew his wife was in that house. and the other woman who was kidnapped before this woman, he killed.
here’s another one. a teenager was walking to meet her son and her girlfriend’s father pulls up and offers her a ride and says he wants to show her his puppies. she goes into his house and he locks her inside where she stayed for years. i guess his daughter had moved for him to be able to do that.
in both stories, the kidnappers didn’t just want someone to talk to and life was very unpleasant for the girls. this happens to boys too. there’s no tv, no video games, no music, no candy, no cell phone, no friends.
21... why should you be allowed to talk at that age? (Just wondering why you think that) and who picked that age to be allowed to drink? And who even picked that age? Here its 18, which is even worse. Our brains don't fully forum until 25. I think that should be the legal age for drinking and becoming an "adult". But idk, Just wondering what you guys think.
