The internet is not the place for phishing for 18 year olds. If you are who you say you are, look for SAFE in-person meetups for people your age. Do not divulge self-identifying information to strangers on the internet.
It's nothing to do with being secret, but wierdo's and scammers scroll the net looking for potential victims, the whole of your post and all the replies can go viral and even appear on social media.
You might be ok with that but often those who reply don't want their business spread all over the net, so you will probably get less who respond to you.
That is good advice generally though. Also don't give your email address out to anyone here unless you trust them 100%. Nor any means of them contacting you off site.
We have had trolls on here in the past so exercise caution and don't trust too quickly. It can also be a good idea to not even put female and your age in here as it makes you a bit of a lesser target.
