Re: Relationship
Hi trentboi123,
So, as you may have discovered, basically any dating site or app is going to be 18+. That can be frustrating, but it's for safety reasons, since the most of the people using them would be way, way older than you. There are a few places on Reddit like r/TeenDates and r/TeensMeetTeens, and those are heavily moderated to keep them as safe as possible. However, as with any online forum, it's really important not to share personal information with anyone you don't trust and to be cautious in your interactions with people. In fact, this guide can help you stay safe if you explore those spaces: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/etc/ ... on_the_net.
All that being said, you'll likely have better like finding potential partners if you look a little closer to home. Are you involved in any hobbies or groups with people your age (online or off)? If not, is that something you're open to exploring?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
