A year of Wishbone and I regret it (18 yr old perspective)

CSM is lying to you. I need to set some things straight here. 1. Wishbone is a social app, and you can post and message anybody as long as there is a mutual folowing 2. There are a TON of porn accounts 3. There are a TON of bullies 4. There are a TON of catfishes ~Details~ So I have had this app for a year and I regret it so much. I accumulated a following of about 15k people (Man, I was dumb) and I have had my fair share of everything. People say the worst thing about this app is comparing celebrities to each other but I had had about five cyberbullies cuss me out (f***k, s***t, b****h, the whole set). I have also had about ten seven year old girls tell me I was hot and attempted to send me pictures. Even worse, a bunch of people tried to take pictures of me that I posted and use it to get their own gaggle of fangirls. One time a crazy girl even found out my last name even though I never released it. PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD GET THIS APP, PLEASE. I REGRET IT, AND YOU WILL REGRET IT. The only nice thing I can think of about this app is that some kindred spirits will defend you through all of this should you choose to socialize with some accounts.

It could be bad, but I havent found anything wrong

I really havent found anything bad, On the community page there are normal comparison questions. Now I would go around and DM random people though.

Parents beware

This is not your typical “Would you Rather” site that kids love to spend mindless hours on. There is direct messaging and plenty of pornographic thumbnails. Sexting is just a message away.

Great app-but needs technology safety

Overall Wishbone is great and 97% percent of the people on there are awesome. The other 3% are mostly just cyberbullys, but nothing too serious. I advise against directly monitoring your children, but instead, question them about it and encourage sharing.

Dont brother

It’s not good for kids. It has a chat room and you can talk to random people. It gets sexier and sexier every time

Sex in ads

My 10-y-o was showing me this app, which I know she has used over the past year and which she says "everybody uses." It has some cute animal photos, places, etc. to choose from - but is also somewhat offensive in its own right when it asks for ratings of which people are better or who wore what better, a la Us Magazine. But I was not at all prepared for the ad that popped up. We voted on about 10 sets of pictures, and she scrolled quickly past a couple she apparently knew I would find objectionable (which couple was better; which boy was cuter). Not one minute passed before a sexy cartoon ad popped up! She immediately turned the phone over so I wouldn't see! It was a cartoon Disney-style princess and prince in a compromising position, in what appeared to be their underwear, and it sure looked like it was going get worse, so I quickly exited. I wonder how much of this type of stuff she has seen and I am kicking myself for not being more vigilant. :(

Don't Allow Your Children On

This is app is dangerous. This has gotten hacked before and revealed a bunch of young girl's emails and phone numbers. My daughter made a friend on this app and one day she asked for her password and she can't get back in to her account. I'm fine with her using it but the experience of not being able to get back into her account has got her very sad. The app will devesate your children. Don't allow on before a log chat with your child.

Too unregulated

Our 10 year old was using this and at first it seemed innocent but we then saw a lot of dodgy images and suspect people following her. We were recommended MirrorMirror (www.askmirrormirror.com) as an alternative. It's similar in concept but a lot safer, there's no ads and people can't leave comments, so it's safe from trolls and evil forces.

Our 9 y/o daughter's friend got a request for inappropriate pictures. Scary!

Title says it all. I don't know anything about this app, but there is enough of a chat element that somehow a very inappropriate request came through.

Not for Kids

There is a ton of pornography that kids can access easily. Lots of profile descriptions that request nude photos to be sent and promises nude photos in return. And lots of nude profile pictures. I have restrictions on apps for my son - only 12 + / This app in no way should be for any child!
