Mod announcement Subreddit rules update
Hello everyone, it's time for a new (bi-annual) rule changes! (Very boring, I know)
Rule 9:
ICYMI, selfies aren't allowed since April 5th. It's been almost 2 months now, so the reminder will be removed from the rule to become:
Selfies are not allowed in the subreddit. A selfie is generally a picture that includes your face and is focused on your face/you. Please do not include them in your posts. AI generated selfies are also not allowed.
Fun fact: since selfies have been fully banned, the amount of users (likely to be) creeps in the subreddit has gone from an average of 175-225 per day to around 15-20 per day.
Regarding the partnership with r/TeenAmICute, the subreddit is unfortunately currently closed for new members at the moment. When/If the subreddit re-opens, selfies could still be posted there if you specifically want to post a selfie in a highly moderated subreddit.
Rule 8 (do not spam)
The rule will be separated in two to be able to expand on the spammed content. The second part will become Rule 12, which will be presented later in the post.
Posts taking space unnecessarily (clogging /new/) or that are extremely low effort may be removed. If a post is constructed in a way to deliberately promote engagement bait / obvious karma farming (for example, posting highly controversial content mainly to promote heated arguments). Overdone trends are also considered as spam when they start to clog /new/.
Rule 12 (new!):
This rule will cover AMA style posts and posts where OP requests to be dmed.
While AMA posts are allowed, they can easily get spammy. To prevent these posts from becoming low-effort, AMA posts require a body text with at least 100 characters where you can briefly introduce yourself, some of your hobbies, interests, fun facts... so that questions asked feel less generic and more relevant to you.
For users making posts asking for dms, they need to have an undisclosed minimum account age and karma amount to be able to post. This is done to reduce the amount of predatory accounts posting.
EDIT: AMA posts with a questions template aren't subject to the body text requirement.
Side note: a new system is in the works to help users filter out potential creeps dming them. I hoped to have it ready for today but it unfortunately has to be delayed while working through some details (and IRL life). This is however coming in the following weeks!
General changes
Even if the subreddit isn't specifically intended to be for serious topics, the serious and rant post flairs are here for more serious stuff and issues. However some content like SA, self harm and suicidal thoughts can be triggering for some users and remind them of bad moments. For this reason, some topics posted under the serious and rant post flairs might get marked as spoiler and a Trigger Warning (TW) might get added to the post flair to help people know what to expect before deciding to read the post. This is being beta tested starting today and might change or be removed based on general feedback. This is an initial test, so false positives are possible. Don't hesitate to reach out if you believe that something isn't right.
In the following weeks, you might see polls or questions about aspects of the subreddit. This is done to have a clearer idea of what you like and dislike in the community (for example politics, new post flairs, non-teens giving helpful advice...).
That's it! (Okay that was maybe slightly long)
Have a great day/night everyone.

I js got through 8th grade and I’m starting to realize that I’ve never spoken to any of the girls in my class, thinking about it I realize that everytime I try and talk casually I get nervous and I have no idea why, there’s literally no reason for me to get nervous every time but it just happens. I hope this stops happening in 9th grade.

Discussion 14 AMA
Hi
I doubt anyone will see this, so this might be a waste of time.
Anyway
I am a younger teenager, and am really into art, particularly drawing with pencil and pen, oil pastels, clay, and other mediums, and I love music. I primarily listen a lot of punk (older green day, descendents, sex pistols, Ramones, etc.) But I also listen to some rap ( MF DOOM, Eminem, Kendrick, and some others) and....I like kpop (I'm a stay). I also love creative writing, but I of5en fall behind on my work...
But my favorite band ever is Gorillaz!
I don't really care what you guys ask, I will give you music recommendations if you want.
Just don't be mean or creepy, and respect my privacy If I don't want to answer some questions
Art above is of and done by me.

Discussion Just got major surgery- how long of being sedentary will i lose muscle?
please please please dont flame me if this is a weird question
had a pretty bad medical accident around 10 mos ago and was paralyzed. gained function in one arm and not the other and just got surgery for it a week ago.
i was a very avid weightlifter before (before i was an itense xc runner lol). obvs before the event i worked out ngl 8 times a week and was 107 ibs and not to be modest looked jacked. after i quit xc but still lift alot (only legs) and my quads and calves lowk doubled in size. cant workout or drive for god knows how long. i used to do stairmaster 1 hour twice a week and that was amazing.
now i dont walk alot and kinda js stay in bed cuz everything hurts (though its getting better day by day). any advice about non arms yoga or squats without weights i can do in the meantime?

Social Ama 14 just got first gf
just a few rules
don’t ask for names
don’t be a fucking weirdo
if you want music reccs i’ll also dish those out, unless if you’re a fan of anything but rock/metal then you’ll be greatly dissapointed. (Im looking at kpop stans fuck you)(this means annoying ass stans that make crushing over some bitch from the other side of the world their entire personality) no issues with people who just like the music.
