Being a minor isn’t an excuse for acting a fool.

If you’re 15+ you need to act like it, you aren’t seven. Telling
people to commit suicide, then hiding behind the “uwu im a minor stop harassing
me”, when someone calls you out on your bullshit is dumb. Stop.

I don’t care how old you are, 15+ you have sense, act like
you have it.  

I’d like to point out that in the United States – the country I’m most familiar with – at the ages of 14-15 you’re considered old enough to:

• Work a maximum of 18 hours a week
• Work at jobs that require handling food and interacting with the public
• Handle, usually under supervision, a ton or more of machinery that is capable of moving at dangerously high speeds
• Care for infants and very small children

Considering the rights and responsibilities that are considered culturally acceptable, it is absolutely ridiculous for people of that age to threaten and suicide bait other people online and then try to get out of it by hiding behind their age. If you aren’t mature enough to handle the responsibility of behaving with a bare minimum of decency to strangers online, then you shouldn’t be online unmonitored at all – much less expecting people to give you a pass on your bad behavior and then expecting people to treat you like an adult when you feel like being taken seriously.

Act with maturity as best you’re able, or be treated like a child. You don’t get to have it both ways.
