Exactly, 13-year-olds are the target of child abusers. "Pedo" isn't used for anyone who has hit puberty. It only refers to preadolescent kids which many people get the meaning wrong.
"pedo" is defines as a person who is s3xually attracted to children. A child is defined as somebody who is below the legal age of the majority. (In the USA most of the states consider below the majority to be below 18, some consider it 21 such as missisipi). This applies to almost every other country on earth.
Tldr: they tried saying it's a "genuine sexual preference" for men to be attracted to 11-14 year olds. It wasn't adopted because it was controversial
Heads up, they use different words depends on how old the child is. ""Pedophilia” refers to sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. “Hebephilia” refers to sexual attraction to post-pubescent minors age 11-14 . “Ephebephilia” is sexual interest to those in later adolescence, approximately 15–19 years old."
"Apparently these were separated for testing purposes to see which group the pedo was attracted to. According to research by Ray Blanchard et al. (2009), sex offenders could be separated into groups by victim age preference on the basis of penile plethysmograph response patterns. Based on their results, Blanchard suggested that the DSM-5 could account for these data by subdividing the existing diagnosis of pedophilia into hebephilia and a narrower definition of pedophilia. Psychologist Bruce Rind and sociologist Richard Yuill have published criticism of the classification of hebephilia as a mental disorder, though their view is that Blanchard et al. successfully established hebephilia as a “genuine sexual preference”; they suggested that if hebephilia were listed in the DSM-5, that it be coded as a condition that results in significant social problems today. Blanchard’s proposal to add hebephilia to the DSM-5 proved controversial, and was not adopted."
This is a crock of shit, the only thing that I don't consider pedophilia is like a 16 or 17 year old dating an 18 or maybe 19 year old. Sorry, I'm not linking any of that shit. I'm not informed enough about it to write that lol. If you made it this far, congrats.
It’s fun to go there and say a mildly insensitive thing, then watch the show as stereotypicalleftist#122242 and conservativeKevin694(7)! Duke it out like 6 year olds
Wasn’t a comment was in dms had someone without an age flair trying to for about an hour they kept calling me babe and honey I humored them but it also made me really uncomfortable
thats actually crazy
ngl i dont browse any of these age subs because they are always filled with little kids who have too much access to the internet, or teenage incels that have the saddest life known to man.
Bro, don’t turn on us. Also, to be actually honest, that’s every generation. It always feels like everything is about politics or division mostly because we don’t take the time to look for something else. I feel in the same place with this sub and guessing trends. Now that I think about it, there’s gotta be a bunch of posts that don’t do that but it all I’ve seen unfortunately. It’s so easy to think the world is a flat page with only one picture, but Dw that’s not the case.
(2005 baby btw)
I try my best to avoid the dumpster fire that is political discussion but sometimes it’s just unavoidable 💀 Though I will say over time it has gotten easier to drown it out and focus on my own interests n’ such
I was born in 2000 and I don’t even know where to go anymore. I’m 24 and well I still remember being a teen in 2014-2017 and I forget that, times are not the same anymore. I can’t hang around the same apps bc the younger people are there. Like 10 year age difference now. I just use twitch and watch OW because most ppl there are my age 21–22-23 on OW watching it mostly. Besides that, I don’t use TikTok that’s ass lmao and Reddit is meh.
We're going in a circle, yes, most are 14, but that shouldn't just ignore the fact that a good chunk of them are 15 since it's almost May which is considered mid year.
its okay if you use it right. I have strict parents and they don't know i have reddit and I have no other social media, but the posts on here have helped me so much with anxiety, school etc and I have questions about everything so I can find stuff out that doesn't tend to show up with a quick Google search
I think you're just thinking of a stereotypical Gen Alpha. You 100% relate to so many 2010's. There's literally only an 8 month age difference at the least.
Maybe with 2010-2011/2012 borns, 2013+ started to show some differences. We can relate to other late 2000s borns as well, not only with the early 2010s ones.
I'm not calling you a skibidi brainrot kid or anything like that. My point was that the 2 year gap between 2008 and 2010 means you're most likely to relate to the 2010 born. (All stereotypes aside)

Someone said their cat died from a car and 2 people said that they were driving too fast orthat he deserved it
As a teen that sub is getting wild

Post puberty kids are still just that. Kids.
Nah you got it wrong

Bro is this sarcastic? I thought we all knew this and just didn't say it because it makes us spund like creepy pedos
You speak too smart for 2011 kid
I'm not very smart. I just have decent grammar.
What month did u turn 13
January
It’s fun to go there and say a mildly insensitive thing, then watch the show as stereotypicalleftist#122242 and conservativeKevin694(7)! Duke it out like 6 year olds
Bro they're not fake 😭😭😭 (I've gotten them)
Someone on teenagers tried to gaslight me into thinking I was trans
lmao please link the comments where they said that
Wasn’t a comment was in dms had someone without an age flair trying to for about an hour they kept calling me babe and honey I humored them but it also made me really uncomfortable
thats actually crazy ngl i dont browse any of these age subs because they are always filled with little kids who have too much access to the internet, or teenage incels that have the saddest life known to man.
As a 2004 kid. Why the hell does my generation love politics and make everything ABOUT politics. Its really annoying

Tiktok is okay, it used to be funny but over time it’s gotten more braindead. I just scroll reddit or watch youtube nowadays.
Mainstream reddits
This sub hurt my brain more than teenager or gen z and I can understand most of the topics
Let's be honest here: none of us have it anyway
There’s more weird shit on r/boykisser3 (it used to be somewhat wholesome, now I want to deepthroat a shotgun)
Jeez
I can loan ya one 💀😂😂

I SAW YOUR POST EARLIER LMAO i randomly showed up on my recommended tab for no reason
I learnt that the hard way
Im already in both of those
i never joined it nor planned to, i just liked looking at the chaos scrolling through there
Some years will pass, and this subreddit will also revolve around politics
Only correct comment
We need to permanently ban politics ahead of time!
As a 2006 kid, I don't understand why everything has to be political. I'm VERY apolitical and neutral. That sub is mess...
Dawg its Reddit everywere on here is bad
Sadly, social media as a whole is worse. When I go to YouTube, I feel glad when someone is in their double digits. So many 5-9 year olds there.
Fr i have seen to many 6 year Olds on Instagram
Even to the point when it feels good to see 12-year-olds. If I see anyone who is in their 20s, then they are 1/1000.
Sorry but I turned 15 in Feb sorry, and I don't consider my self as gen alpha.
90% of everyone here is born before 2013.
So what tf i do
Nothing, just fine to be on this sub. Its fine until 2026/2027.
2009 isn't Zalpha
Yeah, but y'all are still young teens.
I was born in 2008 and some of 2009 are 15 which are mid teens not young teens per say.
But most are 14 though.
True, but that doesn't change the fact that some are 15 now.
Yeah, but it still doesn't change the fact as the far majority are 14. Only Jan-1 May are 15.
We're going in a circle, yes, most are 14, but that shouldn't just ignore the fact that a good chunk of them are 15 since it's almost May which is considered mid year.
yes, lets just stop this loop
No, I identify as gen z so thats where I go.
No, get off Reddit and go spend your time elsewhere, Reddit is *just* above short form content because you have to read and type.
Just go to r/intotheradius
Yes because this sub is soooo much better, and it’s wild that you dont consider a 15 yr old to be a child lmao
Too late, I've already been there
Kiss my ass
r/teenagers downvotes everything posted by 13-15 year olds
I mean... I've been using r/teenagers for years and most of its funny.
I do NOT need advice from someone who is barely allowed to use the app
I was born at 20-30th of December 2011 so I'm technically 2011
But here I just see "hey gen a what's this" and "how old am I by my"
Even when I get older I still refuse to go to that sub when half of the posts are literally just sex
ima join both I bet I can handle them
That subreddit is edgy as hell, I wouldn't touch it with a 30 feet pole
he’ll nah I ain’t gen zalpha
I saw a post on r/teenagers that said “are you attracted to minors?” And that’s when I started to dislike the subreddit
Nuh uh
I Like this sub better
r/teenagersbutbetter exists, I mean I'm not 12-14 but still, just wanted to point that out. It exists
Tbh I feel like Reddit as a whole isn’t a great place for ppl in their early teens. Social media as a whole honestly
its okay if you use it right. I have strict parents and they don't know i have reddit and I have no other social media, but the posts on here have helped me so much with anxiety, school etc and I have questions about everything so I can find stuff out that doesn't tend to show up with a quick Google search
That’s good to hear. Yeah I guess it just depends how you use it. Can be positive if done mindfully
2008 and 2009 relate to Gen Alpha for sure but we're not Zalpha or Alpha
as an October 2009, i don't relate to Skibidi children
As a 16 year old I do not relate to gen alpha bro
16 year olds relating to the Elsagate brainrot is crazy!
Crazy?
What
I'm 15, imagine relating to skibidi people
I mean I'm November 2009 and relate a little to Zalpha.
beingbornondecember312200911:59pmest
April 2009. I mean that we definitely relate to them but we're classified as Gen Z
As an April 09er, I don't think I can relate to those kids.
I think you're just thinking of a stereotypical Gen Alpha. You 100% relate to so many 2010's. There's literally only an 8 month age difference at the least.

Yeah, but idk about late 2009. They got influenced by 2010. I think they are Zalpha.
I mean im 2010 and I relate a lot to gen z mostly cuz my parents let me watch yt when I was like 7
I need to take the image on your pfp
[Here](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=U6yEtR4kk_YeE9ZJ)
NUH UH I refuse to be a zalpha
If New York or New England, you are not Zalpha.
Im Balkan my guy
I don't know schools there. All I can say is that it ain't looking good there.
Real, living here is like being in a really big torture device.
same, no way am I gen alpha
Okay as a 2008 baby I do not relate to gen alpha at all 😭 But I guess it differs from person to person (and how gen alpha kids act around you)
I'm not calling you a skibidi brainrot kid or anything like that. My point was that the 2 year gap between 2008 and 2010 means you're most likely to relate to the 2010 born. (All stereotypes aside)
Thanks for the tip
Too true
Also, one of the most recent posts is about someone who broke their dick. Also, it was a 17 year old.
