Hey 11-year-olds shouldn’t be on tumblr.
And I don’t mean that in like, some kind of exclusivity “you don’t deserve to be here” kind of thing. I mean that there’s a reason tumblr is 13+. It’s 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.
I’m 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 doesn’t make tumblr a safe place for y’all to be. People on here are vicious and toxic and y’all don’t 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. You’re still in such formative years of your life, please take advantage of them and spend them somewhere other than this hellhole. Then, when you’re 13 (or maybe a little older), come back and join tumblr. And make sure you know your boundaries, and that you enforce them.Â
