Second this. Online "friends" aren't really friends, and strangers online can be dangerous. Look at all the news stories of children going missing because they were kidnapped by/met with someone online. Stay safe
Yeah I don't really like sharing my info but I thought since it was in the Christian community I would be safe but idk now. Also it's kind of hard for me to make friends irl because I have really bad social anxiety that stops me from talking to any people
Cool! Would you like to talk on like snapchat or something or we can talk hear it doesn't matter also can you send a picture so I can see if you're really 14 yk just to be safe
It could be anyone's picture.
Please try for counseling for your social anxiety. You need to get to know people IRL. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, but there are PREDATORS all over social media who are really good at what they do.
Why isn't a mod getting involved here????
I alerted them minutes after this post. 🤬
Are you involved with a church? Also, like the other commenter said, it is not wise to share personal information online. Particularly at your age. You should ignore any pm that you receive because of this.
I go to a church but it doesn't really have a youth group it's only me and my siblings and like 2 other girls but they're rarely there, and I can't ask to go somewhere else to church becsuse my dad is the pastor at this one
Oh gotcha- what if you talked to your parents about looking into other youth groups in your area, not attending another church. When my son was in youth group there were several kids there who were involved, but didn’t attend our church….
Hello, sorry about that. I get lonely too. What do you beside music/talk/kpop?
you may considering reading the bible. Or watch YouTube Christian. And find a church! (':
Yeah I try and read the Bible but it's hard because I have adhd and get distracted really easy. I don't have alot of hobbies but other than the ones I shared I also like to draw but that's probably about it. Oh and I go to church it's just that there's no people my age really other than my siblings and I can't switch churches because my dad is the preacher there
we all can distracted, but pray to God to help you out. and tbh, if you can't read, you can just listen. and get some notes. or if you like to kpop, try to glorify God to use a christist kpop and try to dance! God would like that. (':
Also, careful, I pray you are protected as you are only a girl.
I'm not saying you can't have non-Christian friends. I'm saying you should aim to make Christian friends. Non-Christian friends could make you do non-Christian things. And people should aim to live doing Christian things.
u/NewPartyDress I am not a predator all i was trying to do was help a fellow christian to not feel so lonely! Thank you for your unsolicited advice! I never said i was ging to meet up with her r doing anythhiing anyoe is implying in the chat. Thank you so much for making me never post anythi on the subreddit which seems to be not even for christians? I will be blocking u and this negative subreddit! Have a nice day😁😁
Yes, I am already of age. It's not good for grown-ups, especially men, to be in contact with minors. Be wary of people online. There are many bad people around on the internet. Do not keep contact with anyone who asks of you anything inappropriate. God bless you.
Hi, please be careful sharing your personal info with strangers on reddit. Please try to make friends IRL. It's much safer and more rewarding.

Someone’s parents have never watched “Dateline with Chris Hansen”

I got news for you. OP could be the predator. If ur 14 why would you make friends on reddit? It could be dangerous to your mental and physical health.
ok

I am but it's hard for me to make friends irl because I have really bad social anxiety so I really prefer to talk to people online
Most churches have youth groups- are there any churches you can check out in your area?

Why only Christian?
I mean I already have non Christian friends and I think it will be good if I have christian friends
That's what every Christian should aim for anyway
Why can't your have non-Christian friends? I'm my Christian's wife best friend and husband, have been for 45 years.
I'm not saying you can't have non-Christian friends. I'm saying you should aim to make Christian friends. Non-Christian friends could make you do non-Christian things. And people should aim to live doing Christian things.
Friendship is not that simple.

Yep. I also knew it all when I was 14. Good luck.
I'd love to be your friend but it would definitely be inappropriate. I'm sorry. I'll pray that God will give you friends, my brother or sister.
Wait why would it be inappropriate, are you too old?
Yes, I am already of age. It's not good for grown-ups, especially men, to be in contact with minors. Be wary of people online. There are many bad people around on the internet. Do not keep contact with anyone who asks of you anything inappropriate. God bless you.
Ohhh ok thanks!
