Do people.. read.. your bio..?

Since joining FriendRewind, i've had 6/8 friend requests be from people who are 16 DESPITE the fact I have it in my bio DNI -17.
Do you realise I'm 19..? I'm not interested in befriending people under 16 unless I know them irl + their parents. Leave me alone and don't add me.. It's so clearly stated in my bio

Now I don't care if people under 16 interact on my blogs, that shits public and can't be twisted or edited to make me look bad without witnesses seeing what actually went down. But I don't wanna be your friend, I don't want to be in private contact with you.

I have this DNI for a reason, it's not cause i think you're too young, it's not because I think you're a child, it's not discrimination either. It's because I know I can't read tone and can/have misread situations and make it worse. I'm not risking that as an adult. On top of that, I haven't had the best upbringing, and if I vent out about it, I don't want to have to filter myself to make sure I don't put something too heavy on a minor's shoulders and be responsible for them knowing what I went through

Does anyone else with age DNIs have this same issue?? It drives me mad sometimes

[[EDIT:: this also goes for people who somehow hide their age, to me it just shows you're under 16, i dont care if you're actully 21, i'm not accepting the friend request]]
