Terms
The short version, in plain words.
Who this is for
You need to be at least 18 to use Keep It Real. If you're under 18, we really hope you also have a trusted adult you can talk to, and the support page has people who are there for you any time.
What this is — and isn't
Keep It Real is an anonymous place to say how you're really doing. It is not a crisis service, therapy, or medical advice, and the people replying are strangers like you, not professionals.
If you're in danger or thinking about ending your life, please don't wait for a reply here. Call or text 988 (US), or call 911. More options are on the support page.
We can't find you, and nobody else can either
There are no accounts and we don't store IP addresses, so even if we're worried about you, we can't contact you or send help. That's why reaching out to the people on the support page matters.
Using the site
- Follow the house rules. Be kind, keep it anonymous, no contact sharing, no sexual content, no hate.
- Our moderators may hold, hide, or remove anything, and block anyone from posting, to keep this place safe.
- Don't post anything you need to keep. Fog whispers fade, check-ups close, and removed content is deleted.
- What you post is shared with other people, anonymously. Check-up creators can see answers to their check-up, never who wrote them.
No guarantees
We run this with care, but we can't promise it will always be available or that every reply will be kind. If something here hurts you, report it, and please reach out to the support page.
