Adding people younger than you online

[Richie]

I never really thought about how bad it looks. When I was at habboxlive I obviously had to add everyone to connect and disconnect from the radio. I remember channel 4 pointed out something along the lines of older users having younger users on skype / msn. The majority of the time when I'm online I don't look at peoples ages lol so I don't really have a problem with adding whoever i speak to online. There is obviously a line, some girl added me on msn to get help with sam broadcaster and she was like 'WHAT AGE R U' so I replied with '20' and shes like 'I'M HALF OF THAT ' I was like ****....... 'er brb dinner' *blocks*. Anyways the majority of the younger generation on here are more mature than me so i don't think it really is a problem.


Do you have a problem adding people on msn / skype based on their age?

No, I have no problem with it If they're like 8 (for some reason?) then I suppose I'd be more careful about what I said to them in a conversation but I don't see any harm in it aha. The limit for me would be webcam - I wouldn't go on cam to an 8/9/10/11/12 year old (or younger :L) just in case anyone assumes I'm a pedo .

I don't tend to go on webcam in general but it's still weird adding people that young and from the medias point of view you can understand why they may be concerned that a 20 year old may be adding a 12/13 year old on msn

I know it sounds bad and I'm not trying to offend anyone but I wouldn't speak to a 12 yr old irl and some of the stuff I said online is bad lol I just forget that some people are actually 12.


Oh and by 12 I refer to everyone under the age of 16. Everyone knows anyone younger than 16 is 12. I'm 11? no you're 12..

No but saying that I didn't know, I had someon on msn since they were 6/7 and I always thought they were like 15 I've been on webcam with him once lol but stoll didn't know. Idm if they're younger though.

I never really ask ages of people that I speak to and sometimes I just assume that they're older. It's weird and I wouldn't get close to someone so young but I don't have a problem with casually chatting to them.

Obviously having a 10 year old on msn would be weird for me unless I knew them personally from family etc. I never add anyone off habbo on msn and the majority of habbox users are mature so I don't have a problem with that. i barely go on webcam to people either

I'm yet to rape the younger people than me on my Skype and MSN. So far so good, I've not touched a single one! But what if it's inevitable I will?
