i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really privateÂ
please, if youâre really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here
 please, kiddos, stay safe
additionally, for my young, non-adult followers,
depression memes about wanting to die arenât a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to worsening symptoms of your own mental health if overindulged in
you are not garbage. or trash. i know these terms are popular on here, but you shouldnât be calling yourself that. you have everything you need inside of you to become your best self, even if itâs hard to see that
seriously, really donât trust adults who want to date you. donât trust adults who call you hot, flirt with you, ask you sexual questions, or ask you for nudes. (that last one is VERY illegal, also, please get help from a trusted non-creepy adult if this happens to you)
the opinions of complete strangers who arenât interacting with you typically arenât worth it. move on, use the block button. itâs not worth engaging with people who are going to make you feel awful or unsafe
take breaks from tumblr if itâs getting really stressful for you. talk to friends if youâve got em, play a videogame or do whatever it is that can take your mind off the massive amounts of Hell on this website
recovery is good. itâs really, really good. if youâre having mental health issues, please seek out help if you can, or ask a trusted adult or friend for guidance. you are not alone. donât let this website make you feel like you are

No this is seriously good advice even and especially for neurodivergent people. Getting caught up in discourse can be paralyzing and you wind up doing nothing good out of fear of messing up and it can mess up your self worth even if you think youâre perfectly confident in yourself. Itâs also always a good idea to keep your personal information private and you really are not obligated to share it. You do not owe anyone on the internet anything unless you made a business transaction.
