DO NOT post pics of yourself online and/or share your location while you're still a minor! i waited until i was well over 18 to share pics of myself and that kind of information. in the 2000s, the internet was still a wild-west kind of place and was much much safer than it is now and schools still taught kids to never share pics of themselves online. and AI-generated csem, targeted harassment campaigns, and God knows how many pedophile/"radqueer"/"proship" communities that target minors online have become all the more reason to protect yourself online. and in the meantime, do not friend random adults, myself included! i could be a friendly face, but not everyone is. call me a stick-in-the-mud, square, chopped and unc, or whatever you young'uns use, but it's scary how many ppl just threw internet safety out the window in recent years.
