it's hard to describe how overwhelmed I am...
Trigger warning//
I had moved to oldie side regarding that I'm still a teen, I was emailing cups community & etc to get back to the teenie land.
Long story short, what am I doing? What am I trying to avoid?
Trying to get back to teenie land, in about 2 months I'm turning adult anyway.
I requested a teen transition mentor, they helped me so much with everything.
I thought I'm ready! Like, I got everything sorted! But no.
Adult side is dark, let's just say some teens are angles comparing to some adults, (sorry I'm so frustrated I k I shouldn't say this stuff)
I saw disobeying the rules... Ignoring...
And I can't become a ATL because I'm freeking doesn't have social media Handles & I can't complete the interview Wich are both required...
I rather leave cups instead of staying on adult groups...
Of course their is good & bad in both sides, but I'm not ready to cope with this challenge ATM....
Sorry I don't expect anything from you, I suppose you can't do anything for me probably, I just wanted to vent 😔
There is good & bad*
@NobleSeeker Hugs! I wish I had more I could offer you.
I really wish there was a better filtering process in terms of who is here for genuine reasons vs those here for nefarious ones. I've spoken up about safety issues here for years and while things are more streamlined for suspending people compared to earlier years but there are still things that could be done to improve.
I realize that just because a teen ages up, it doesn't mean they are a safe person, but I do wonder if there could be different options for those who have been here a while to become an ATL. My experience with the teen safety side is limited though.
@AffyAvo it does help to have a listener account and have worked on the criteria for ATL prior to aging up. But not everyone can meet the criteria.
There is a really great post about the responsibilities of an ATL and the process here

@NobleSeeker
hope u get moved back to the teen side soon
@Reachforthestars00 thanks for your kind words. I have been closely working with @NobleSeeker and helping them and now they are back on the teen side after seeing a glimpse of the adult side.
It does give us a clear but dark view of one teen's thoughts on the process. We do have a little time so lets try and see if we can do anything to improve things.
sending hugs to @NobleSeeker
@MistyMagic
I owe you so much I can't describe, you're one of the kind that makes this world a better place.
I will try to cope with ageing up, and gladly accept the hug 🫂
@NobleSeeker Oh! your words brought a tear to my eye and makes it all worthwhile, thank you!
