Age and Friendship

Weird psychological shenanigans: a "friend" on spacehey is literally just someone who can read your bulletins (right? Is there anything else to it?) but it feels super awkward to just straight up get like "This 14 year old wants to be friends with you" as a notif just because of the phrasing. Even if I don't plan on having any age-inappropriate content here it's a super weird vibe where if someone told me that a 14 year old read my website I'd probably just be "Oh cool, hope they found it interesting."

Also the kids really are out here just blasting that they're in middle school these days. Absolutely wild compared to the 2000s when your age was sacred information that only your closest friends would know. I appreciate it but damn.
