I get it though when I was younger I grew up with a lot of bad role models and sometimes I wonder if they will ever try to do something to me because I know what they've done

Hi as someone who had been groomed into thinking certain behaviors are okay it is not in fact your fault it is the fault of the people who knew what they were doing was questionable and yet still included younger minors on their accounts/interacted with them in ways they shouldn't

I mean maybe at one point you were slightly rude or mean but you were a young child on a place that is not moderated and has nothing stopping kids from interacting with things not for them

literally when I was younger I thought being an adult meant you couldn't interact with kids at all or you'd have to talk to them about things that were grown up topics only but then I realized that there was such a thing as not being a creep and not talking privately to minors unless you literally have to or they will die on the spot

no but why is it so easy not to groom children and not to be a creep you'd think YouTubers and some of the weirdos on the internet were being held at gunpoint to do these things

unfortunately they haven't. I'm considering making an alt and talking to them again to gather evidence because when this person was a senior in high school they were nuzzling freshmen and also acting like they were the same age

I don't want to but I think I need to make sure they aren't still doing this especially now that they have graduated I don't think I should say what they were convincing others into thinking was normal on this site but it was not something young people should be seeing

Yeah, unforunately they had an account on this site

unfortunately back in the day I thought we were friends

but yeah be careful their whole account has kind of been quite a few red flags such as talking to people who are into things like Lego Ninjago and Steven universe about things that most people are way too young to know about i don't think they are active anymore but if i am to gain their trust i might have to make up a backstory about one of their accounts or something i'll try to be vague but they might come back (horror)

yeah even though they stopped posting 3 years ago they were 17 during that last post (almost an adult)

it's honestly really weird how she acted to be honest like was I immature at the same time? Probably but even I wasn't that immature (granted I was a year younger than her)

I can say without a doubt, whatever happened you grew as a person and you deserve all the help you can get.

I'm honestly just glad I learned and grew from it all, growing up on sin-rps and constant harassment/harrassing wasn't the best for my brain chemsitry. I plan to get a therapist but it'll be hard to tell my parents since I've always been the perfect child out of my siblings, and I probably have the best future.

of course! I just hope everything goes well for you, I know it's been hard for everyone our age.

aw ty! I'm a little scared about it since I've always had problems with help whether that's from counselors or sped counselors. But I trust your manifesting works in a few years :) I think we both deserve breaks.

I've done my best to :) I honestly used to be horrible. A few months ago I took a leap to better my mental health for my IRL friends. I cut off a friend group online so I could just grow; and it worked and me but now that person are talking again normally. I used to be super obsessive since we went through a lot- and it honestly ruined our friendship :(. I've gotten better though, I think I've been super normal and actually really happy! I'm just trying to stay that way until school starts again.

sorry if that's a lot, mental health talks are just important to me

I'm glad and I'm glad you can agree with me on the last thing. I've been told I'm really kind and a really good friend; I really don't lie to my irl friends and I make sure they're happy with everything I do. I guess there's just a huge diffrence from my IRL life and online life. I used to lie and cheat all the time. I also always talked shit :( idk why I did- I guess it was just because those things were normalized online. I'm not going to let all that define who I am though, I don't think anyone should. That most I've done is hurt people's feelings.

I think everyone who's had pasts like us should remember that :(. some people just end up like Birdie, but people change if they want to change and if they believe change with better their lives. I've made sure to put up boundaries to make sure I don't let things happen to people that happened to me. I still rp (more like DND= no sexual themes) but I make sure I stay in my groups and I don't lead anyone younger than 13 is lead to interact with older people because of me. But I'm still pretty much a child and things just happen sometimes, and I've made mistakes; the things I used to do don't really define me.

oops typing mistake, sorry!

I was sure my dyslexia wasn't going to mess me up 😭 But I'm glad you think so. I have a huge passion for writing and dnd style rp- even if it started by people trying to groom 12 year old me. I've been writing for 5 years almost and I want to make sure that passion doesn't harm people the same way it did me. I also met my gf with rp- so I guess it didn't end all bad ;-; (our 4th year anniversary was on new years.)

I just told her I love her since we haven't talked all day :)) But that's exactly the truth. I've found really good people, and I even write with the same person I've been writing with since 13- she's really cool even if it started with Sin-rps. Writers are always so flexible and it's just amazing to me, something that was so horrible to me is just a passion to me now.

Positivity is the best medicine🏀
