I joined during a year off from school for mental health reasons. I had also just lost my sister. I’ve since gotten on medication, gone back to school, finished med school, moved out on my own and am now a resident. I guess a lot has changed!

I'd say quite a bit. I joined about 6.5 years ago, and yeah, I'd say a lot has changed. Given, I was active for about two years (maybe less than that, not sure), then went basically inactive for another 4 to 4.5 years, and then just revived this account a few months ago.

I joined the forum back when I was 15. It's been nearly five years since then and a lot has changed... but I wish it was for the better. Yeah, my posts back then were probably embarrassing and cringy, and I know a lot more about myself now than I used to, but I was a lot happier then, for many reasons. I was hoping that this year would be the year things could finally turn back round for me, but with the current situation going on all around the world... yeah I don't think that's happening anytime soon. 
I joined when I was like 18 or something, but I only ever made like 5 posts then took a 6 year break and only came back for New Horizons.
I feel as though I haven't changed at all over those 6 years. I like the same stuff, talk the same way, think the same. For better or worse, of course.

Just about everything has changed since I joined lol! I joined in 2014 when I was about 13 years old and I'm now 18. Lemme make a list.
-I have a different irl name now/found out I was trans
-Stopped going to dance lessons
-Had a five year episode of depression/other mental health stuff
-Started recovering from said episode/eating properly
-Made my first online friends on here
-Lost one of my first online friends on here
-Graduated high school
-Generally stopped being such a cringelord/horrible person
-Also I can drive a car now lol
2020 me and 2014 me are basically different people!

A lot, thank god lol.
I had an account before that was a bit older than this one, so I joined at 14. My art was soooooo bad, and I remember posting it and crying to my mom when people didn’t praise it. I also just acted like 14, which I’m sure makes sense to a lot of you. I’m 20 now, and happy to say I think my art and communication skills have improved! Also, I’m in college right now perusing my dream career, much different than the 8th grader I was.

I ended up joining TBT almost 5 years ago due to the group I was a part of at the time containing a bunch of TBT members, though I never used my account until a month ago. I'm glad that never used my account back then, because man, things would've been disastrous, lol. I was just broken as a person back then, but I never realized it for the longest time. But things ended up changing roughly a year and a half ago for me, and I've improved and grown a ton since then and am a lot happier with my life and who I am now, though I'm still trying to improve myself however I can, day by day.
This is a wonderful discussion question! I’ve changed quite a lot since I joined the Bell Tree in 2011!
I used to be very timid, even the first time I was a moderator I was still pretty shy. The Bell Tree holds a very special place in my heart. I know it’s silly, it’s a forum...but the friends I’ve made here have literally saved my life. I found happiness here and a very good friend helped me escape a very bad situation. Now I’m actually living life, something I was never allowed to do when I was younger. I have a family with my best friend too which is amazing! Who knew my life could change so much over a little animal crossing forum? I would say I’ve changed and grown up a lot since then!

I only joined a few days ago but when im bored I actually have somewhere to go now haha
Oh my where to begin, back in 2016 and 2017 about 4 years ago I was going through ALOT severely depressed at 13 (middle school) and I just was a mess (on here I was a big trouble maker) its crazy how I'm finishing up junior year in high school going to senior year! Almost 18 with a job and a lot more mature since I'm almost an adult later this year but I do still struggle with depression and I have some life issues unfortunately but I'm hoping those will resolve with time. My posts in my early days were so cringeworthy its crazy so I tend to forget I existed back in 2016! Took a long hiatus since 2018 was the worst year of my life and it was absolutely horrible since lots of things went on that are very personal but I came back months ago for NH and im enjoying my time back on here!
i believe i joined in 2014 and i have changed so much since then. i started playing new leaf around november 2013 and joined tbt not long after. i graduated later in 2014 and was going through a lot. i feel like a completely different person now. ive got through so many phases and things since then.
i recently got back into tbt with new horizons and i’m sure i’ll look back on even this post and think i was so different.

I feel like I have matured alot and haven't matured a lot? I mean, I joined when I was 15 so I had matured a lot since then but I still have a hard time conveying tone over the internet which worries me.

total trash
I joined 6 years ago (took a hiatus) and since then I graduated school, moved 700 miles away, and am in a much better place mentally. I’m proud of my growth and everyone else’s on here 
i joined tbt when i was 11 and i'm now 18, so i've spent a lot of my most formative years on the forum, and i find it insane to think that i've stuck with tbt regardless how much i've changed and so many of my other interests have changed. when i joined i very much talked like i was 11. i had my grump early teen years where i ran my mouth a little bit, i remember arguing with people a fair amount and thinking i was a god and very correct when in reality i probably made zero sense. as i've gotten older i've used the forums less, but i think 11 year old me would be pretty happy with 18 year old me. crazy to think i made this account when i'd just finished primary school, and i'll be off to london for university this september.
