Most people who have a mental illness have experienced some type of stigma or prejudice in their life as a result and I think it's sad that someone might come here, especially a teen, looking for help and acceptance and be discouraged from even posting because they're worried about making mistakes.



Life is way too short to stress out about something like this.
I agree. This is a site where other's are safe to post without judgement passed.

I think maybe though, those who are stating their disapproval of improper language use is merely stating an opinion.
I don't think anyone is intending to pass judgement, or mean any harm to anyone. And I can only hope that those who are reading these replies can understand that no harm is meant, nor should it discourage them from posting...(I hope it doesn't, anyway).

All I can say to those who may be sensitive to these replies (which may seem judgmental) is that you are no lesser than anyone else ESPECIALLY because you have your own preferred style of communications.

POST AWAY knowing you are safe to do so (without anyone slandering you for your personal style).

Iz a11 gud!!....
