I know this video must have been hard for you to make, but when I saw this as a child, it changed my perspective and I was able to get the help I needed.

I filed a report for the most recent one the police made me go through all this shit just to not even try to do anything about it. I felt so stuck. All this trauma caused me to have 5 mental diagnosises. And im scared... I really dont know how someone could do stuff like this. I 100% relate. Just know you are not alone...

    I’ve made many friends online and had multiple encounters where my “new friends” told me never to tell my parents. I immediately blocked and reported them because you taught me to. I didn’t learn this in school. I learned it by watching this series.
    Thank you.

    Ilyssa, you sharing your story honestly helped me SO much, 2 years ago I was being groomed when I was 13 by 17-year-old year also. It took me many months to realize that I was being groomed but hearing your story made me realize what a bad situation I was in. As the days went by I found myself being more isolated from my family and friends, I would always have to message and call him or he would guilt trip and even threaten me. Much stuff occurred within the time period that still affects me today, but thanks to this video, I eventually got the courage to distance myself from this person and block him. If it wasn't for you, this could've went on for much longer. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    I was in a relationship very similar (although the guy was literally the same age as me, & was in the same town) in highschool, and it's something that's so hard for people who haven't had the same experience to understand. The psychology of it is very hard to snap out of, but I hope to everyone who's going through this that they escape that situation. Control is not love, and abuse is not love.

      Okay but people who use this as an excuse make me so mad! (This isn't targerted at you btw) "Age is just a number" only applies to CONSENTING ADULTS who have enough MATURITY to make the proper decisions about who they may feel attracted too. It'd about a 29 year old dating someone in they're 30s/40s. Not adults targetings children.

    i’m a victim of the same thing, and i always thought my story didn’t count sense it was online. but this lets me know that it DOES. it took my young childhood away, from 12-14 i was always getting harassed and had to stay up late bc they demanded to call me or for me to send photos etc. at the time he was “14” when we first met, turns out he was 15. so he was 17 by the end of it, but it was “ok” bc he was still a minor. it makes me sick to know this has happened to other people.
    right now i’m 15, i still haven’t told my family bc it terrifies me. but i am going to trauma therapy for it. he cannot contact me anymore bc i blocked him on everything, changed my usernames/make new accounts. i even moved so that he wouldn’t know where i lived anymore. this stuff is serious, terrifying, and when you’re young you don’t think it’s as bad as it actually is and you play down ur feelings to js say “oh it’s ok bc….”
    thank you for sharing your story, for people like me and way more will know that they’re not alone. i’m thankful to god that i didn’t stay long and had a way to get out. i’m so sorry you didn’t, but i’m so glad you’re out now. much love ❤

    Thank you so so much for talking so openly about such difficult topics. And thank you so much more for telling us your personal
    story in such detail. I‘ve heard warnings about these topics, but never have I seen what grooming actually can look like and how easily a predator can manipulate a child.
    All of this must have been incredibly difficult for you, back then when you were still just a kid as well as now, telling this story and coping with such awful memories.
    Many people don‘t understand how vulnerable a person is during their teens, teenagers often seem old enough to deal with things alone but they really aren‘t. And making them think that they have to deal with problems like this alone because „they are old enough“ might be a problem with our society, even though I feel like it is progressively getting better.
    When I was 13 I had a lot of suicidal thoughts; my „friends“ in school made me think the world would be better without me. Back then I felt so alone and I wasn‘t at all capable of reflecting and understanding that they were the problem, not me. I totally understand that you too weren’t able to understand what was happening to you at such a young age.
    With 13 I always thought I was old enough for everything, but I really wasn‘t. I get why you tried to deal with this abuser alone, unable to fully leave the situation. I‘m sorry this happened to you, I can‘t imagine how awful it must have been for you. I‘m glad you were able to cut ties with this asshole and process everything to a point where you are able to publicly talk about it. Again, thank you so much for this video!

    In 2018 when I was 14, I was groomed by a man who was 28. A few weeks into it I grew emotionally strained from that relationship and ended up telling my teacher about it. I had no idea how manipulated and brainwashed I was, so the teacher told me to look up stories of other children who went through the same thing as I did, what happened to them, etc. I was busy that afternoon, so I did a quick search and downloaded all the videos, storytimes, and documentaries I found about child grooming... this being one of them.
    That weekend was my 15th birthday, and my parents (who knew what was going on) tried to cheer me up with a long road trip. They didn't understand that I wasn't ready to be cheered up, so I was unintentially left alone to deal with my emotions while they enjoyed the vacation. The playlist I'd saved was my only outlet. This was one of the stories that stuck with me the most, and I was captivated. It helped motivate me to leave this individual, something I'm still thankful for. I'll never forget the feeling I had, listening to the audio for the first time while staring out the car window.
    I was lucky. I ran into so many close calls in which I narrowly escaped being lured, enticed, and raped. I had adults in my life who I could trust. If I stayed any longer, the anguish this relationship already caused me would have been much worse, and it still affects me and my decision making at 17. I come back to this video every once in a blue moon and whenever I watch it, I feel grateful and loved.
    Illy, you helped a little girl dodge a bullet. Thank you. ❤

    I’m so sorry you had to deal with all of this. It must have been very depressing. I want everyone that sees this comment to always know when they get kids you need to share all this information with them so this won’t ever happen. People are just crazy sometimes. I saw both parts and I’m so sorry u had to go through that. But it’s so nice of you to trust all your views and subscribers to listen to this very personal story of yours. ❤

    even though it’s sad I’m glad there’s more awareness and education about signs of grooming and other stuff that can happen on the internet to let people know if this kind of thing is happening to them,thank you for telling your story ❤

    I was in a situation like this for about a month before I cut contact, this was because I told my friend about some of the things the guy was doing. He got nudes from me, got me to do things I was extremely uncomfortable with, and threatened me when I broke up with him. Even though I'm out of that, I still feel the effects of that every day. The guilt of doing something so stupid. The agony of not being able to tell anyone without them either wanting details I am uncomfortable with or the embarrassment that could follow. I don't want to feel like just another victim, I feel like I'm too good for that, but it creates a cycle where I tell myself I'm fine, but then the bad memories pop up, and then I shut them down again.
    My point is, you making this video is really helping me right now, you are expressing thoughts I've had for a while, and are a good source of understanding. Thank you.

    "Age is just number" I always hated hearing that.
    No. Age isn't "just a number". Age is the determination of how old you are based on how long you been alive. We use numbers to help count those.
    If you are 34 years old then that means you been living for 34 years, not just "34". If I said "34" without any context, then that is just a number but not if it is used to describe the age of somebody.
    I get some people like to use this to say "I don't care if we are ages apart, we still love each other". Which I don't mind if someone does as long as both people are legal age, they can date whoever younger or older than them above the legal age they want but age isn't "just a number" it's everything that I described above.
