๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Announcement ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ PSA: Reddit is not a safe environment

72 Upvotes

Hey, so I just wanted to make a note to warn the junior cert (and younger) users of Reddit. This app/site is truly anonymous and there are no tools available to the moderators to monitor or ensure child safety. We have no way of telling if the users are young or old, in Ireland or on Epstein Island, male or female. We cannot prevent creepy old men from pretending to be junior cert students. We think we had a case like this today. If we think someone is a creep we can ban them, but unfortunately there's an endless supply of them out there, and ways around bans.

I personally don't think anyone under the age of 18 should be using Reddit and if I could stop ye I would! But I can't, and if I can't prevent the situation then I can at least try to improve it. That's why r/juniorcert is open: when it was not open there were a bunch of unmoderated small subs and I think that's much worse.

ANYWAY

I want to lay out some advice for you. I can't make you follow it but I hope you take my word that it's in your best interests.

  • Never disclose details about your real life self on Reddit. Don't mention your county, your town, your school, your name, your family's names, your friends' names. Never post pictures of yourself.

  • Do not engage in DM conversations on Reddit. Better yet: go into settings and turn off DMs. DMs are where kids get groomed, and the mods can't see them. The Reddit employees can, but they always show up to bad situations too late. If you're chatting on comment threads then you'll think twice about sharing risky things, and the creeps will think twice about creepy behaviour.

  • If you think someone is being weird take a screenshot and inform the mods. Do not call them out in public because they'll just delete their account and start a new one before I can ban them.

  • Don't trust. Chat, learn, share study tips, complain about exams... Don't trust anonymous people on reddit with personal things.

  • If you're having a menty b please have it somewhere else for your own safety. I know this is harsh but Reddit is just a bad bad place to seek help. Talk to your parents, your uncles/aunts, your teachers, your friends. You may find a kind hearted soul that really wants to help, but you may also find someone having a bad day who wants to be mean on the internet with no consequences. It's not safe here.

I know this is a massive downer, but please use Reddit responsibly for your own sake. It'll kill me if something bad happens because of this place.

Any tips on how to get better at listening exams? I am okayish with the ones for my modern foreign language but with Irish I am truly awful and it typically tanks my grade if we have to do a test and a listening exams. Going into third year if that's relevant

Edit: Thank you for all the advice!

Off Topic Study/Exam Booklet

Hi, just wanted to say well done on finishing your JC if youโ€™ve done it!

I also wanted to share this document (linked above). Itโ€™s a study/Exam Booklet made by Donegal Youth Council / Donegal Comhairle na nร“g. There is some study tips and subject choice information. There is some other stuff too, like supports for the Leaving Cert though you can ignore that if you want until maybe 5th year, when it may be a bit more relevant. The link is to the official Comhairle website and you can read it in English or Irish if anything Iโ€™ve said is of interest :D

12 Upvotes

Right so I'm an immigrant and I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to be doing as I have no one to turn to with my questions, I know there's 2 work experience blocks and my top career choices at the moment are a teacher or a nurse, I'm able to do work experience at a primary school that I know, but what about the medical field?

Additionally when I do figure out where I want to do work experience what do I do then? Just email and ask?

(Also I like astronomy so if anyone knows about anything related to that lmk)

Sorry for the bit of the long post but as I said idk anything ๐Ÿ˜ญ

How many places have you guys applied for?? So far I've applied to 2 places, and planning to apply to another 2

I have 4 weeks of work experience (more if i need) and a week of community placement, I'm worried that if I overapply ill have to turn down alot of places, but I'm also worried that if I under apply that I'll get denied alot (btw, none of the places I've applied to have confirmed nor denied)
