#and i do not want you exposed to stuff
Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:
- Medical diagnoses - this is nobody’s business but yours. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are
- Trauma - same reason as above
- Triggers - people can use these against you! Don’t give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!
- Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you’re a teen. Predators want this information, don’t give people more than they need. Just state that you’re a minor, that’s all that anyone needs to know.
In general: stay safe. If you’re not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn’t post it on the internet.
Play devil’s advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!
adding on to this post, i agree w all of OPs points, but i also highly advise against super young teens posting their face on the internet, its so easy to take peoples selfies + name and find stuff out like your school and then figure out the rough area in which you live. same with your phone number. be super careful about what you put out there. once you post it, it really is here forever.
