Hey 11-year-olds shouldnāt be on tumblr.
And I donāt mean that in like, some kind of exclusivityĀ āyou donāt deserve to be hereā kind of thing. I mean that thereās a reason tumblr is 13+. Itās really not a good or healthy place for anyone under 13 to be on. I originally joined when I was barely 13 and I wish I had waited. I ran into so much traumatizing and frankly just viscerally disturbing content. I had so many adults that were completely inappropriate towards me, and so many other things that looking back just terrify me.
Iām not trying to baby anybody. I believe that many under-13-year-olds can handle a lot more than we give them credit for. But that doesnāt make tumblr a safe place for yāall to be. People on here are vicious and toxic and yāall donāt deserve to be worrying about all that on top of the other shit that people your age have to deal with.
Please, you have plenty of time. In the meantime, go post about things on chat/blogging sites that are better monitored to be safe for folks your age. Learn about the world in a safer environment and learn what kind of person you want to be. Youāre still in such formative years of your life, please take advantage of them and spend them somewhere other than this hellhole. Then, when youāre 13 (or maybe a little older), come back and join tumblr. And make sure you know your boundaries, and that you enforce them.Ā
