Community Guidelines

Be kind and respectful

• Treat others the way you want to be treated — with empathy and patience.
• No bullying, harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks.
• Respect different opinions, backgrounds, and experiences.
• If someone is struggling, offer encouragement, not judgment.

Be honest and authentic

• Share your real experiences — growth comes from honesty, not perfection.
• Don't impersonate others or create fake accounts.
• Don't share false or misleading information.

Keep it safe

• No sharing of personal contact information (phone numbers, addresses, school names).
• No content that promotes self-harm, eating disorders, or substance abuse.
• No sexual or explicitly violent content.
• If you see something concerning, use the report button or contact a trusted adult.

Protect privacy

• Don't share someone else's private information without their consent.
• Don't screenshot or share other people's journal entries or personal reflections.
• Respect that everyone's growth journey is personal.

Crisis support

If you or someone you know is in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, please reach out for help immediately. TeenX has a Crisis Toolkit with country-specific helplines. You can also contact local emergency services or a trusted adult. You are not alone, and help is available.

What happens if guidelines are broken

• First violation: a warning and removal of the content.

• We report illegal content to the appropriate authorities when required by law.
