A thought about teens and Japan-related subreddits

This is just an observation I wanted to share.

A lot of teenagers don’t really post much in the main Japan-related subreddits. Many of those spaces feel more professional or adult-focused, which is totally fine, but it can make teens feel hesitant to ask casual questions or talk about daily life without worrying about being judged.

Because of that, a few of us recently created r/JapanTeenagers not as a replacement for any existing subreddit, but simply as a more relaxed corner where teenagers (13-19) can talk freely about school, daily life, hobbies, stress, or what Japan feels like to them.

Similar teen-only spaces already exist for other countries (like IndianTeenagers or UAETeenagers), so it felt like a natural time for Japan to have something similar too.

Just sharing the thought here in case it resonates with anyone.
