I know right. I've always wondered this. Why hide your age 馃
@SunKiss3d cuz when SW opened i was one of the only teenagers and it was hard to be taken seriously

@SunKiss3d because people can try to judge you for it for stupid reasons, give them less to judge.

@TryingtoLava so you hide your age as a teenage to be taken more seriously by adults 馃憖

@SunKiss3d Well you see, most adults here block teenagers. Some of them may not have any friends and just want someone to talk to. That's how it was for me at that age.
@SunKiss3d The other side of the coin for me. I鈥檓 among the older posters and when I used to post my age it was an easy attack point when someone younger disagreed with my opinions. I鈥檓 [b]not[/b] trying to date anyone, and I鈥檓 not lying about it, if asked I have no problem telling anyone. And I鈥檓 not ashamed, I鈥檝e outlived several of my rl friends. But people have conversations with [b]me[/b], the person, without focusing so much on my age.馃槉

@bijouxbroussard see that I understand... but the thought of teenagers being allowed to hide their age is weird and bothering. That's just my opinion though 馃槉 I completely see your side
@SunKiss3d And I understand your point. It troubles me that minors can hide their ages, because then the screening that the site has to protect them doesn鈥檛 work and predatory adults can gain access.
@SunKiss3d :| i was 18 i wasnt like 12 i say teenager cuz 18 19 and 20 have teen at the end and you werent even here so you cant really judge me
@bijouxbroussard you remember how it was right? I didnt really have a choice if i wanted to fit in with our small family its diff now than it used to be
