ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.
Some actual safety tips for teenagers:
1. Have proof they're a teenager first. More than just a picture, have a video call with them.
2. If you want to meet up with them, have your parents or a trusted adult come with you. Even if they are a proven teenager, its still good to have supervision in case any issues happen.
3. If you are talking to an adult, and they start being sexual in any way, you run the fuck away. It doesn't matter if they're 40 or 20. An adult inherently has a power dynamic that teenagers do not. And its up to the adult to act responsible about it. There's exceptions of course, if you're 16 and dating an 18 year old, that's not a problem, we're not talking about that.
4. Being in a server with adults or ran by adults is not inherently bad. Talking to adults is not inherently a problem, and will likely happen in any number of Discord servers. It is only an issue when they are acting sexual and show predatory behavior.
5. Look out for grooming behavior. It can be difficult, because at first it seems like innocuous behavior, like complimenting or giving gifts. Especially if you feel lonely and have low self esteem. And groomers actively target people like that.
If they start trying to isolate you, talk sexual with you, state they depend on you for emotional needs, blame you for their own actions, try to be secretive about the relationship- Then you need to talk to people you trust, block the perpetrator, and call the police on them.
6. If this does happen to you, remember this: It is not your fault. Even if you didn't listen to a single thing listed here, it is not your fault. It is the fault of the adults who knew better, and didn't care. It's not your fault.
To my followers: if any of you guys are underaged, please be very VERY careful on here, and don’t fall for any of the tricks the groomer would use on you, just block them and report them.
tip also (from an 18 y/o):
the block button is your best friend. learn to use it liberally. learn to block anyone and everyone you don't want interacting with you. it may feel "rude" at first, but i promise you there is no tool more useful than a button that prevents certain people from getting to talk to you. if an adult is making you uncomfortable, block them. if someone you're speaking to suddenly makes predatory or rude comments towards you, block them. if someone starts harassing you, block them. you may even end up having to block former friends. it's okay (and encouraged) to just block people. you can even block people who just annoy you or you generally dislike, it really improves your experience online and i can't recommend it enough
Mmmm, yeah, rent is due again. I'm Black, I'm disabled, and I'm pretty much the sole provider for my family rn. My mom has a job but it doesn't pay much, and my dad's a contractor but that's... Basically, the clients he's working for now are our landlords, and they're not paying him which means we can't pay rent and we can't really complain about they're not treating him right/not paying because we live in their house and don't want to be evicted 🙃.
I know I do this every month, but I'm unable to work due to my disabilities, and I haven't gotten any commissions in a long while so I'm desperate. It's a big ask, but we need $1,500 by December 1!
White people cough it up... Atonement via paying a Black Indigenous person's rent...
hey yall, back again. the two women in the middle of the left photo are me and my mom. ever since mama and dad’s split our brother went off the grid, so we’ve been braving it alone. no luck on the job front, with prescriptions to pay and my mama’s disability. i’m begging y’all to come through for us again. rent is $600 but between odd jobs i can cover $200, which means i’m hoping for $400 by the 30th.
when there are too many noises at once, like multiple people talking at once, i start to question how many of them are real. idk if other people do that or not? if its too loud its like everything starts to blur together.
