Although I do not condone giving out personal info online like that, I would say these folks here are actually nice people. I know they don't seem it right now, and they really are rough around the edges, but you'll grow to love them
Just don't be too affected by anything that people say in a negative way. But really too, try to show who you are, not some false facade, or hide behind a mask. That'll just put people on edge. I mean really, why would anyone care if you're just turned 16, or almost 17? It's not a dating site, so long as you act mature, age won't affect people's perception of you. So just be yourself, and we'll judge you on who you actually are (and I do mean judge as in get to know you, like you, hate you, troll you, whatever..) and react as such.
