    Like others it was through childline. One day their chat service was down, so I had a look through their website and found this. At the time it was intended for 16-25s, but it was a very relaxed age range and I was 13. The chats sounded fun but it took me weeks to actually join one bc I was too scared๐Ÿคฃ my first chat was January 2016. And here I still am๐Ÿคฃ

    Found it through my school when I was 13 and made an account but didnโ€™t properly use it until I was 15 when I was on beat and someone told me about the group chats so thatโ€™s when I officially joined ๐Ÿ’š
