hiiii~ so it's been around 2 years since I figured out what age regression was and being little was. I'm 17 and I've basically been a little since I was 14. I've always acted 10x younger than I am and I usually regressed into that state whenever I'm stressed or when I'm having fun I didn't figure out about this community until I was 15. I have 1 other irl friend who's fully into the ddlg community and they're amazing ^u^ at the moment, I'm doing it alot more lately because of stress from graduating and life in general. I don't have a caregiver to help me and my other friends usually aren't any help and (thankfully) none of my guy friends know about it (although there is one that I will trust but so far, he hasn't noticed nor asked anything). Now that y'all know a little about me, I wanna talk about underage littles. "but, you are underage!" Yes, yes I am. But I won't be in a couple of months. I do think underage littles are okay, to an extent. I feel like anyone that is 15 is crossing the line. Yes, I was that age when I found the community but that doesn't change the way I feel. I'm the type of person that does research on EVERYTHING I'm interested in and I did a bunch of research on sex, masturbation, and bdsm communities when I was younger so I know better than most teens and I knew more than them at their age. We know we can't stop them from being in this community and interacting with people and "fakers". But, we CAN educate them on how to stay safe and what to look out for. This community isn't always a safe space with fake people who just only want one thing, but we can try and protect them from harm. We can help. No matter how much you disapprove, you shouldn't go around making them feel bad because they're happy being in a space they where they can be theirselves. There's no reason for that. that's only just creating more problems. So you shouldn't cuss out a minor because they're in this community. You shouldn't yell at them because they're being happy. We need to educate them. I'm not trying to encourage anyone to get more minors in the community but we can't stop them and you know we can't. So, it's best to educate the minors that are already here instead of yelling at them and excluding them from somewhere they feel safe.
