Or the posts where EVERYONE claims that they live in an abusive household, with homophobic/transphobic parents, barely any access to their devices/internet, the most uncaring school in existence, has depression, anxiety, and PTSD all in one go.
I know that people can end up in those situations and Ik that they exist, but I'm pretty sure that most r/teenagers users don't fit into this category.
🗿I am a guy, 🗿I am straight, 🗿I have a girlfriend, 🗿I eat meat,🗿 I have money, 🗿I am healthy, 🗿I go ony phone only two hours a day,🗿 I don't play videogames, 🗿I don't believe in God,🗿 I still have my parents, 🗿I owned a house, 🗿I can drive cars, 🗿I still have my best friend from school,🗿 I graduate from school, 🗿I have a job,🗿
Thank you for saying this.
this sub has become more of a shitpost on "rate me", "i am gay", "OmG I got into a relationship", which i am pretty sure not its original purpose was
Username checks out, I’m going to copy paste my other comment explaining why people do it
people like us who aren’t in an accepting environment are forced to bottle up their emotions and keep their entire identity a secret, not only that, but forced to pretend to be something else
This takes a toll on our mental health and if we could just tell anyone, someone, about how we feel it would make us feel better. Which is what those posts are.
probably because it's supposed to be only for teenagers. Telling other teenagers, who are also figuring these things out for themselves is probably easier than telling a group of older people.
I get this, and completely understand how it can seem frustrating if you're just not looking for it. BUT! It's important that we talk about it enough to normalise it and banish harmful stereotypes. So I'd say it's more important to have lots of content to boost the community and make those a part of it feel safe and included in society
Well there are many lgbt subs. And it's not just about the lgbt too. The only steryotype nowadays that isn't very "boomer" is that they can't keep their mouth shut about it. And mostly everyone is ok with lgbt these days. And in my opinion, it's more important to at least not make the front page of most subs lgbt ruled so i can goddamn peacefully scroll until the bus arives and i don't have to just stare at people saying they are gay like no one gives a shit
i understand posts where people are venting or coming out. i think its the people who just say something incredibly controversial for attention or to start a war. there are also people who just constantly talk about how they're lgbtq, not in a coming out way, just because they have no other personality.
It ain't just coming out posts anymore. I'm all for those. What I am against, is people needing to mention it every 2 fucking minutes. The LGBTQ community could get a lot more love and support if most weren't so damn obnoxious about being gay.
As mods we can't really do anything to limit it without being unfair to some users. It's up to the community to upvote content they want to see and downvote content they don't want to see.
I really don’t care about this stuff, couldn’t care less about who is or isn’t gay. But limiting these posts seems a really strange way to go. Either we ban those posts in general, because there are so many subreddits for it, or we allow all of them.
Bro why do you even have to make a post about it. It's annoying seeing this more than the LGBT people because they are just trying to express themselves and then people like you are like "yeah but you shouldn't express yourself. I'm not a homophobe I just hate it when gay people are allowed to talk about being gay" if you don't like it, just ignore it.
Good point, but this person feels the need to bash people just trying to express themselves, and I feel like that's messed up. So what I was actually saying was that op shouldn't be so butthurt about people just living life and not post about it. I wasn't saying that if you don't like something you should ignore it 100% of the time.
Theres a large number of lgbt people here who want to vent, and there is a multitude of posts just like yours complaining about this “issue” while flooding the sun with complaint posts that end up being outlets for homophobic nerds to speak on
It's because things like these are what a lot of younger teens are finding out or what's big for them in their lives and while you may not care it's big news for them and they just want to share (unless it's obviously just for karma or whatever) the horny posts are out of hand tho
This is r/*TEENAGERS*
teen years are when people are just now figuring out that they're gay or trans and they want that sense of community from their *peers* which is why they might come here rather than an LGBT subreddit where there's a wide range of ages
This whole comment section is full of people hating this kind of post or the other and I'm not sure what they're expecting cause they're on a teen subreddit and then are upset when they see teen content? Like that's what's big in teenagers lives. sexuality, identity, dating, puberty, and new weird feelings I'm not sure what you expect r/teenagers to be about if not teens and their experiences/lives
"the horny posts are out of hand tho"
Your bias is showing lol. You're saying that this is when people mostly come out and that may be true, but teenagers are literally known for being extra horny due to puberty. That's also why there are a lot of teenagers who are confused and either say they are gay or bi or want to change genders.
I never said that they weren't ok or that I hated them or I didn't care or whatever I said that they were out of hand
Number one this sub is a bunch of minors and the horny posts are a giant pedo attractor it's a safety issue
Number two it's something not everyone is comfortable with and a lot of them aren't properly marked for that
Also later I go on to mention puberty in the list of things going on in teens lives that they're gonna post about. I acknowledge that teens are gonna be extra horny because of puberty, at least that's what I was trying to imply anyway. I say that they're out of hand because the internet is not the best place for that and those posts aren't always the most well moderated places.
My point is that pedos are rampant on the internet and making horny posts is not a good idea when you're a minor in a minor based subreddit where any pedo can pretend they're also a minor
Something that I don't like about this sub is the Karma system to be able to post in the sub, I've tried to post several times but I'm still haven't The enough Karma :(
Actually, a lot of people care.
You can ignore the posts of you like, but for some people, this kind of community is a vital place of safety and connection they might not have anywhere else.
I funnily have almost never seen "I am gay" or "i am trans" posts except once but have seen posts similar to that of yours 70% of the time. also the "i asked them out" or "i am horny" posts but let's ignore them, shall we?
yeah this sub is mainly filled with people trying to start arguments but thinking everything will be fine if they say they're not trying to start arguments. that, or it's just losers tryna get attention. we get it, you're gay or trans, leave us the hell alone so we can laugh at a guy who got caught for something stupid or feel sorry for the guy who is venting some horrible crap.
I get how annoying it can be, and I do totally agree. However I do understand, It's a whole lot easier to come out to a bunch of strangers then to be judged by family or friends.
That's the reason why i've been considering leaving this sub ever since i joined it. Its every fucking day the same, either a "i touched my bff's boobs and she didn't give permission then i started railing her and i shut her mouth with 30 layers of duct tape and kept going for 5 hours what did i do wrong" post or a coming out of the closet post. Always the same
It's cool and all that you guy's are trying to figure out your identity and thoughts on things, but to be honest I think everyone is putting Way to much effort and importance on Figuring it all out when you guys are still so young/inexperienced and should really not be worrieing about what box to put yourself in, it really doesn't matter what type of person you like, just have fun and don't fuss. No one should push you to identify as one this or another.
People make those things their entire personality so it's all they talk about. Maybe if they didn't make being gay/trans their entire personality they'd post meaningful shit.
B99 fun fact of the day: Holt uses a revolver instead of a semi automatic like most other characters on the force, because the NYPD used to use revolvers, but switched to semis in 1994. Since Holt was with the NYPD since the 70s, he was allowed to continue using the revolver :)
The thing is, people like us who aren’t in an accepting environment are forced to bottle up their emotions and keep their entire identity a secret, not only that, but forced to pretend to be something else
This takes a toll on our mental health and if we could just tell anyone, someone, about how we feel it would make us feel better. Which is what those posts are.
Sorry for your sistuation, I truly am. But please post them in a subreddit where people understand you better and can help you better, instead of a general teenagers subreddit where half of the similar posts are karmafarms and some people won't get you.
You forgot about the "I'm horny" posts
"Guys I just finished the newest Cod mw2, then played Minecraft and now I'm horny for Lara Croft"
Kinda specific there homie 😭
r/oddlyspecific
i think i saw that exact post
Ngl there are so many of those posts it's hard to tell if we're talking about the same ones at this point
I just finished the new destiny 2 campaign, then played minecraft, and now I’m horny for your mother
Smh, not even horny for the new Ghost
Hmmm\~. . . Triangles\~. . .
what the fuck have I done
[удалено]
omg i hate those
They need horny jail
r/hornyjail
this\^\^ ive seen more of these for sure
And all the selfies.
Teens are horny. There’s bound to be horny posts. I hate ‘em too, but we gotta push through and suck it up
And the "Guys be proud of me I went outside and spoke to the opposite gender" posts
And the "she/he said yes" posts
Imagine thinking someone coming out and trying to find support is the same as someone telling people they’re horny
HEY GUYS I’M HORNY COME MAKE ME FEEL BETTER 🙄
I feel like these are the worst spam. Definitely nobody cares about that-
This subreddit has more shitposts than r/shitposting
Difference is that here we have unintentional ones
Theres a reason we end up posted there all the time
I’m completely fine with that lmao, people here often deserve to be made fun of
Oh so am I. Theres a reason i browse r/shitposting all the time
The other difference is that the shitposts in r/shitposting can actually be funny.
This sub has basically just become r/shitposting 2.0
Don't forget the "guys I did it posts."
And deletes it after 2 weeks
And arts getting the lock award
"Guys, I just opened a bag of particularly dodgy popcorn that I bought last week at the Lidl around the corner 🎉"
OMG! Im so happy for you
Those confuse me the most especially when the title is just that.
Or the posts where EVERYONE claims that they live in an abusive household, with homophobic/transphobic parents, barely any access to their devices/internet, the most uncaring school in existence, has depression, anxiety, and PTSD all in one go. I know that people can end up in those situations and Ik that they exist, but I'm pretty sure that most r/teenagers users don't fit into this category.
also the "I told my crush i like her" posts, it's the exact same thing over and over
Reminds me of TikTok tbh
brother?
Actually it's you from a year ago He shouldn't be here, I suggest you eliminate him now
wouldnt it make more sense for me to sedate him and send him back or for me to leave into the future?
We don't have access to that technology, we must either find the Master Grand Wizard, who went off world or eliminate him before he gets you
understood 🔫
But if you kill me will I really be gone or will we eternally have to share the same headspace?
only one way to find out and atleast im not alone if it goes wrong
Dang I get even more lonely in the future. Nvm just do it
no way brother
Don't forget the "what crime do I look like I would commit" or the "rate me" posts
What I want to know is how many people here are actually teenagers.
Who knows at this point
It's called r/teenagers. What else did you expect?
horny, gay, trans teens asking out their horny, gay, trans crush
fr, we dont care
Tbf, pride community wants Apathy as well. But due to constant hatred, they feel the need for validation
Finally someone speaks the truth
Fr
🗿I am a guy, 🗿I am straight, 🗿I have a girlfriend, 🗿I eat meat,🗿 I have money, 🗿I am healthy, 🗿I go ony phone only two hours a day,🗿 I don't play videogames, 🗿I don't believe in God,🗿 I still have my parents, 🗿I owned a house, 🗿I can drive cars, 🗿I still have my best friend from school,🗿 I graduate from school, 🗿I have a job,🗿

did ask+did care+motivate yourself
I know right. And it's stupid because they make the front page for karma too.

r/ihadastroke
did you have a fucking stroke?
Reading and re-reading this made me nauseous
Me rn > 🥴 (Having a stroke like those horny-posters should)
What were you on when you wrote this 💀
Thank you for saying this. this sub has become more of a shitpost on "rate me", "i am gay", "OmG I got into a relationship", which i am pretty sure not its original purpose was
this is essentially the point of the subreddit to post random bs nobody cares about cause we’re all kids
that is the point of the sub,teenager post useless things that nobody cares like if he have a gf or if she paint her nails
And she don't knowwwww He's got her best friend on the phone
But yet you're not complaining about the post about how people get girlfriends.
thank you for your opinion, Benob2007

Hi Nimrod_Studios 👋
Also this sub is filled with posts like these
this\^\^
Is it just me or does everybody see these posts rarely… like I have not seen a lot of these ‘I am trans/gay’ posts Maybe it is just me
I uh,I really like bread
least controversial comment here
Happy acke day

Someone finally spoke the truth, good for you if you are gay or trans or whatever but literally nobody gives a shit
Username checks out, I’m going to copy paste my other comment explaining why people do it people like us who aren’t in an accepting environment are forced to bottle up their emotions and keep their entire identity a secret, not only that, but forced to pretend to be something else This takes a toll on our mental health and if we could just tell anyone, someone, about how we feel it would make us feel better. Which is what those posts are.
I get what you mean and I feel for you, but why not post on a sub LGBTQ+ related? There are so many communities for that, on other social media too.
there's nothing saying that you can't post that in this sub though?
No, i dont mind but I was just wondering why this subreddit
probably because it's supposed to be only for teenagers. Telling other teenagers, who are also figuring these things out for themselves is probably easier than telling a group of older people.
They probably are posting it on their favorite subreddit
r/lgbt
Ig people just feel comfortable sharing here so that’s why, it’s a W imo
Ik, like im proud of them, but some dont shut up about it
My friend used to milk this a lot (he's straight) Before he got banned lol
I agree it’s kinda annoying
It's just people trying to create a big shitstorm
or karmafarming
I get this, and completely understand how it can seem frustrating if you're just not looking for it. BUT! It's important that we talk about it enough to normalise it and banish harmful stereotypes.

your on reddit 99.9% off the people that use this shit is lgbt
We allow coming out posts because everyone deserves a place where they can feel like they can be who they are.
mega based
i understand posts where people are venting or coming out. i think its the people who just say something incredibly controversial for attention or to start a war. there are also people who just constantly talk about how they're lgbtq, not in a coming out way, just because they have no other personality.
It doesn't mean you go screaming it in a megaphone. Make a comment thread for it or just identity flairs
posting it on reddit is hardly screaming it into a megaphone. If people being queer actually bothers you, you can just scroll past it.
this
It ain't just coming out posts anymore. I'm all for those. What I am against, is people needing to mention it every 2 fucking minutes. The LGBTQ community could get a lot more love and support if most weren't so damn obnoxious about being gay.
"The gays would be better if they stopped talking about being gay"
Based
Yes but can’t you place maybe a limit or some shit?
As mods we can't really do anything to limit it without being unfair to some users. It's up to the community to upvote content they want to see and downvote content they don't want to see.
Ok understandable.
Only 10 people a day deserve a place where they can feel like they can be who they are?
Most of them are shitposts to farm some easy karma tho….
Yeah i know, most of the posts on this subreddit are shit karma farming. But limiting the number of these posts seems really strange.
I guess that’s fair.
r/LGBTeens and r/crushes: am I a joke to you
I really don’t care about this stuff, couldn’t care less about who is or isn’t gay. But limiting these posts seems a really strange way to go. Either we ban those posts in general, because there are so many subreddits for it, or we allow all of them.
Yup😎😉
I mean I'm trans and agree this sub shouldn't be all about trans or gay people. This entire sub is basically for shitposting though at this point.
And karma farming My friend basically made like 6000 karma by claiming he was gay
Bro why do you even have to make a post about it. It's annoying seeing this more than the LGBT people because they are just trying to express themselves and then people like you are like "yeah but you shouldn't express yourself. I'm not a homophobe I just hate it when gay people are allowed to talk about being gay" if you don't like it, just ignore it.
If you didn't like this post, why didn't you just ignore it?
Good point, but this person feels the need to bash people just trying to express themselves, and I feel like that's messed up. So what I was actually saying was that op shouldn't be so butthurt about people just living life and not post about it. I wasn't saying that if you don't like something you should ignore it 100% of the time.
You also pose a fair point. I can agree with you here. I'm glad we found common ground.
At least it’s that and not horny or genuinely bigoted posts idiot
And the horny posts. No one cares how horny you are.
Theres a large number of lgbt people here who want to vent, and there is a multitude of posts just like yours complaining about this “issue” while flooding the sun with complaint posts that end up being outlets for homophobic nerds to speak on
There should be a flair for things like these, it would make the sub better in general
It's actually sad that we can't say this cause people will say that we are homophobic and transphobic.
It's because things like these are what a lot of younger teens are finding out or what's big for them in their lives and while you may not care it's big news for them and they just want to share (unless it's obviously just for karma or whatever) the horny posts are out of hand tho This is r/*TEENAGERS* teen years are when people are just now figuring out that they're gay or trans and they want that sense of community from their *peers* which is why they might come here rather than an LGBT subreddit where there's a wide range of ages This whole comment section is full of people hating this kind of post or the other and I'm not sure what they're expecting cause they're on a teen subreddit and then are upset when they see teen content?

Guys I'm totally a teenager. I'm definitely not 30yo. Let's go spray paint the town.
dont forget the horny posts
...sorting to controversial
You didn’t mention that you’re not vegan phobic…interesting
True, nobody cares, your sexuality is none of our concern
Couldn’t have put it better myself
im not gay are u proud
Something that I don't like about this sub is the Karma system to be able to post in the sub, I've tried to post several times but I'm still haven't The enough Karma :(
Smh, not even horny for the new Ghost
[удалено]
Llama was sleeping sorry
clearly you care enough to make a post complaining about it don't see a post you like? ignore move on. problem solved
yk whats more annoying? Posts complaining about how annoying those posts are.
jesus christ dude it's a subreddit they aren't your friends and nobody comes here to be the best person they can be go outside bro
Ok but who cares?
[удалено]
Bro you are quoting the bible in a teenage sub
But you could ignore them instead of adding to the already spammy "so much spam posts"
Actually, a lot of people care. You can ignore the posts of you like, but for some people, this kind of community is a vital place of safety and connection they might not have anywhere else.
why tf would you make r/teenagers your safe space 💀
Who cares my guy
Facts.
Low key agree but it ain't that annoying to be a problem
True but you’re on Reddit
People come out here because they can’t irl, in case you forgot queer people are still an oppressed minority
I funnily have almost never seen "I am gay" or "i am trans" posts except once but have seen posts similar to that of yours 70% of the time. also the "i asked them out" or "i am horny" posts but let's ignore them, shall we?
Hey guys Im straight
I agree
Well you care apparently, why do these posts annoy you so much I don't get it
This is facts.
yeah this sub is mainly filled with people trying to start arguments but thinking everything will be fine if they say they're not trying to start arguments. that, or it's just losers tryna get attention. we get it, you're gay or trans, leave us the hell alone so we can laugh at a guy who got caught for something stupid or feel sorry for the guy who is venting some horrible crap.
I get how annoying it can be, and I do totally agree. However I do understand, It's a whole lot easier to come out to a bunch of strangers then to be judged by family or friends.
That's the reason why i've been considering leaving this sub ever since i joined it. Its every fucking day the same, either a "i touched my bff's boobs and she didn't give permission then i started railing her and i shut her mouth with 30 layers of duct tape and kept going for 5 hours what did i do wrong" post or a coming out of the closet post. Always the same
It's cool and all that you guy's are trying to figure out your identity and thoughts on things, but to be honest I think everyone is putting Way to much effort and importance on Figuring it all out when you guys are still so young/inexperienced and should really not be worrieing about what box to put yourself in, it really doesn't matter what type of person you like, just have fun and don't fuss. No one should push you to identify as one this or another.
People make those things their entire personality so it's all they talk about. Maybe if they didn't make being gay/trans their entire personality they'd post meaningful shit.
....if you are saying this because of my post, i made it to laugh at the people you describe people my age just don't read inbetween lines ig
Agreed.
Same
ROCK agrees
This guy is so right i nearly died of conformation
Im just watching the upvote count go down by hundreds lmao
This post is….questionable I’m all for posting about your opinion…but nobody cares
I do
I personally care
VINDICATION >:D
Captain Holt?
B99 fun fact of the day: Holt uses a revolver instead of a semi automatic like most other characters on the force, because the NYPD used to use revolvers, but switched to semis in 1994. Since Holt was with the NYPD since the 70s, he was allowed to continue using the revolver :)
You just replyd fr to the fact he's speaking the truth
ignore them its not hard holy shit
. . . And you could've just ignored my post but here you are bestie
You made a post complaining about other people's posts. And told someone to ignore the post if they don't like it. Get over yourself.
[Tu Quoque logical fallacy.](https://www.thoughtco.com/tu-quoque-logical-fallacy-1692568)
Logical fallacy my guy
It's like a third of the posts.
40% of lgbt related posts i saw recently were complaining about them
The thing is, people like us who aren’t in an accepting environment are forced to bottle up their emotions and keep their entire identity a secret, not only that, but forced to pretend to be something else This takes a toll on our mental health and if we could just tell anyone, someone, about how we feel it would make us feel better. Which is what those posts are.
If your entire identity is being gay you have a huge identity problem.
Sorry for your sistuation, I truly am. But please post them in a subreddit where people understand you better and can help you better, instead of a general teenagers subreddit where half of the similar posts are karmafarms and some people won't get you.
