I just had a question that seems kind of ironic. Why is there stuff on this site that is labeled 18+ on a site that is meant for 10-18 year olds? It just seemed a little strange to me...
Heh, it can be a bit odd. But, there are a lot of 14-year-olds out there who write stuff that really needs an 18+ rating.
Plus, the 18+ rating is kind of a misnomer -- it's a warning more than anything else. On YWS, any work with strong language requires an 18+ rating. This article goes more into the content rating system: Content Ratings Guidelines
Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. — Brené Brown
