Send tips on how to be safe on social media without scaring others.

Nothing's going to really happen if I give my age away like wat they even gon do with it, I could even be lying, even if someone messages me and tries to groom me, I'll know. I'm not dumb nor am I scared to ignore them. Also instead of saying dont give away ur age(thank u very much for ur concern no hate<3) can you please also state the reasons why and not just cause "it's not safe" or "there are weirdos/Pedos" we've been told that multiple times already we know they exist. Dont tell us wat not to do but tell us on wat to do when wat happens it's better to be aware and know how to act in ur situation than just be scared of everything some of us are here cause it's uncomfortable and scary to be social irl and hard to make friends so we turn to social media, because we find it easier. The last thing we need is someone telling us that our only source of interaction is dangerous too

(I know its dangerous but my point is to not make others feel scared and u comfortable when doing the only thing they can to help themselves through life)

After writing all that my dumbass remembered that we could still interact with others by lying about our age or faking an identity to be safe but now I also remembered that not all of us are that bright so this could actually help someone.

To the younger one here(also few older one cause some of yall lack brain cells) share ur experiences you've encountered online that youre unsure of how to react, so those with similar experiences who've made it out safe or realised that they could've actually done something but couldn't at the time, please share your tips on how to know if someone is being sketchy online or could be later on dangerous etc.

Anyways I hope u enjoyed my rant, English is not my first language so I apologise is there are grammar & punctuation mistakes. If you disagree with my point just let me know why, I'm open to different views and opinions. Thank you very much and have a good day
