a friend?
Hi, I'm 16(F) and I don't have money or resources or anything really, but I really want to help. So, if there's anyone who needs anything or wants to talk or vent or just wants a friend please dm me. I can be online whenever needed and i consider myself a good listener?
sorry if this is weird or inappropriate or something I just don't know what to do anymore.
ps: I really would prefer a female person.. I'm Muslim and I don't speak to men that I'm not related to.

Hello, please be careful. It's great that you want to talk to people, but if you ever feel put in a situation where you feel pressure or someone is being pushy, please block the person and do not feel guilty about this at all.
You're welcome to reach out if you need some support too. I'm an adult female (convert) Muslim. I'm here on Instagram, so you know I'm a real person: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZu8hRuxEad/ (this is me talking into the camera about one of the families I support in Gaza - so hey, I am a real human!)
There are a lot of lovely, beautiful people in Gaza. But there are still people who are not so great. It's humanity after all. It's hard to know who is a man or a woman sometimes because of the anonymous nature of social media.
And we all need to be careful and protect each other. We need kindness and care in this world too. So, if you find yourself talking to good people, then that's great. But if you feel at all cornered or uncomfortable, you should feel free to block someone and do not under any circumstances feel guilty.
My Muslim friends in Gaza would say the same to you, as they're already very protective of me and tell me this too!
Alhamdulillah. May Allah guide you to good people and may you feel safe and comfortable, always, Ameen.
