I posted this in another subreddit, but please please if you’re the parent of a teen, please read this.

Dear parents, I am a 24 year old woman who lives an alternative lifestyle and therefore am involved in some “alternative” online communities. Some of these communities are 18 or 21 only for legal and ethical reasons.

Let me just put it to you straight. Thousands of YOUR children are making “NSFW” (Not Safe For Work) Twitter accounts, with themes and topics they cannot legally be involved in, at as young as 12-13. They are interacting with adult media, predators, and each other.

It’s EXTREMELY popular among young teens to have one of these Twitter accounts. I beg you to talk to your kids about the danger they could be in by getting involved in adult communities at such a young age. Talk to them please.
