Not sure what to do about DeviantART... Need help!?!


Question: Not sure what to do about DeviantART... Need help!?
Kay, here it is.

So long long ago I once had a DeviantART account. I was really young (11), and I had gotten involved with all of it -- the chatrooms, online relationships... Lots of bad memories right there. I also made a deviantART account, and communicated with my little nerd friends on there.
Now, it's been many years and I'm a teenager. I remembered all of my "friends" from then, and well, I'm not going back. But lately I've been doing plenty of fanart. I want to make another deviantART account. But this time, with an alias, so no one can recognize me as the person I once was.
I came out to my mom and told her everything that one time, and she grounded me. Those were quite hard times. I felt like I'd betrayed her. Even my 23-year-old brother said deviantART wasn't a good place.

So generally, I want some answers. I'm not naive. I just don't know exactly what the problem with dA is. Sure, I'm young; but I'm sure as heck not 11 anymore. I feel like I'm ready. I won't tell my mom, since she's not helping me at all. She installed a monitoring software on my computer so I might just use my iPod or something. But I had so many good friends there. Or supposedly good.
I'm not getting involved with the chatrooms again. Just dA. I make fanart, and I feel as if none of my Facebook friends or anyone appreciates it. And it's true.

So please help me out!! First off, should I risk it, and go back on dA?? Also, what's so bad about it?? OR, should I just let my parents control my life, and have to deal with no one liking my artwork. Please be honest!!!

Answers:

Deviant art really isnt a bad place. I have used it for plently of years.
But, I just add my friends that I personally know on there. Just put your art down, reply to comments. Nothing else. The chatrooms are horrible there though, the trolls.
