Read my mind. Kid, 12 years old March 18, Cool and usually OK for tweens Reddit has been an overall positive experience for me, but I am very careful to not go into any iffy looking subreddits that look like they could have NSFW content.

Reddit is one of the most popular websites out there, and for good reason. You can find information on pretty much any topic out there. It is organized into subreddits, which are individual communities for certain interests. Now, Reddit is notorious for questionable content. And there is a fair amount of it on there. Although to find these communities, you have to go actively looking for them.

Because some information is aimed toward adults and teens, it's simple to say that you should have a basic understanding of social interaction, technology, and what to avoid at my age. It's a social network intended to bring like-minded individuals together, but there are some bullies or those out for a conflict, so be cautious. Teen, 13 years old Written by impansexual September 2, This title contains: Language.
Kid, 10 years old July 30, There is a filter to blur nsfw posts but the poster have to manually filter it, so lots slip by. Oh, did i mention profanity lots of people use swear words, and the majority of people on Reddit are over 18, so there may be some creeps. Go to Common Sense Review.
