  8. angel b,

    A lot of these comments asking for study buddies are written on the same day or within a couple of days, and with the same or similar wording, yet none of them are replying to others who have ALREADY commented asking for study buddies,…. I wonder why that is? So, if you are young or haven’t noticed this trend, please be careful of creeps, hackers, and scammers!

    • Irati,

      This is so true! I see a lot of very young people, they have to be careful.
      You are so sweet saying that!
      I have put a new message instead of commenting to someone because I have not found people who speak Spanish. Although I haven’t searched much.😅

      • Karina Chavarri,

        ayy yo hablo español holiss

      • Mireya Antolin,

      Some people are of course real people with good intentions to find a study partner, just be CAREFUL with your information everyone. Not everyone has pure intentions!
