i'm new here

@TxOutlawTyler oh, why? let me try and check my privacy settings

@selene16 ok

@TxOutlawTyler it also apparently says that i'm not allowed to view your profile?

@selene16 he's an adult. Be careful please and better not message him.

@HannibalAteMeOut oh hush

@HannibalAteMeOut oh? is that why i'm not allowed to view his profile?

@TxOutlawTyler what do you want to message a teenager about? She stated she wants to connect with people her age.

@selene16 yes and you can't view mine either. It's for your protection.

@HannibalAteMeOut i see. thank you for informing me. you're really nice. how do i know someone's age right away, if i may ask?

@selene16 there's the age group and gender next to our usernames but sometimes they're hidden. The site blocks underage profiles from adult users automatically. But some people can get around the block, so you have to be a bit suspicious too.

@HannibalAteMeOut thank you. but everyone ( no matter the age group ) can view my posts, right? they just can't message me privately

@selene16 correct

@TxOutlawTyler okay, thank you. i thought you were my age and although i hate to discriminate, this is the internet. i'll just talk to people that are only a few years older or younger than me. thank you for interacting with me, though

@selene16 don’t listen to people like Hannibal they’ll finger you wrong

@TxOutlawTyler excuse me?

@selene16 better safe than sorry, it's wise of you to do so, many people your age have had problems before due to older people taking advantage of them.

@HannibalAteMeOut thank you. now that i see it, he's telling me not to listen to you. but it seems that you're actually just someone who's trying to lend a hand because it is true that older people tend to prey on teenagers on the internet. i should have been more careful, thank you for that advice

@selene16 I was your age on a similar site, I know what it's like. What's scary is the creeps get less and less as you age. I'm now 23 and compared to some years ago I get way less "traffic" from them.

@HannibalAteMeOut that's true. thank you, again. i would have realized too late

@HannibalAteMeOut good looks
