i sort of made this as a vent but also to notify you guys about why im not online as much. Scratch is DEFINTELY not helping with this stuff thats going on right now and just being here in general feels so bad and toxic to my mental health. like no offense to anyone who somehow isn't aware of this but this is a site where someone as young as 8 can be exposed to really toxic behavior and sometimes inappropriate content. this is not okay at all. exposing a CHILD to this stuff goes against my personal core values and beliefs. you need to know that before you share a project or post a comment, you may be talking to a second or third grader. dont make what is already probably a hard few years for them even harder. any adults or teens on this website, then you probably know that speaking to a CHILD as if they are older than 14 isn't ok. dont make kids go through adult experiences too early. let them have a childhood. sorry about that, just needed to get that out. please don't comment on my chat from this point on because i seriously dont need a reason to come here. i need a break.
