These notes help people understand UYB before they create, share, or return to a journal. They should stay useful without turning private stories into content.
Copy should be clear enough for younger users and respectful enough for adults.
Posts should not quote journal answers, drafts, reveal text, invite links, or private reflections.
The blog is not therapy, crisis care, legal advice, medical advice, clinical labeling, emergency support, or public replies.

The blog explains product use only. It does not collect private journal text, publish user stories, host public replies, label anyone, or replace real-world support.
