People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

I think they are restricted in that regard biologically way less than psychologically.

Teenager's brains aren't fully developed yet, either.

Both mothers and babies have worse outcomes overall when the mothers are teenagers. It's more dangerous.
