I know, finding out years later is such a weird feeling. I realised I was groomed when I was 10 by a 16 year old and I only figured this out a few months ago. I hope things are okay and you’re doing amazing :(
Hey Janelle. This must be so tough, I can't imagine how afraid you may be feeling. Just wanted to remind you that you are not to blame. and you parents will understand that. Your mind may be telling you all the worst case scenarios right now which is normal, especially if your groomer has made you feel afraid, but the absolute best thing you can do is to tell your parents. They are not going to judge you. Yeah it might be tough to be honest, they might be shocked (because they can't imagine a life where you're not safe!), but ultimately they would want to know the truth, so that they can care for you and help you figure out the best steps forward. Im so sorry that you are going through this. But there is help! And you don't have to stay in this awful situation forever. You are brave. And bravery can look like asking for help. And just like they said in this video - don't feel guilty to cut all contact with this person who has hurt you.
I never knew what happened to me had a name.. it was going on since I was 10 till I was 17 and my family basically just beat me and told me I was wrong.. but I never knew there was a name for what I went through.. now if it’s time for therapy
Therefore, t's crucial to recognize the impact of our digital footprints, especially in today's social media landscape where oversharing can feel commonplace among middle schoolers. Let's take a moment to consider the lasting impressions we create through our digital activities and strive to make informed choices when sharing online!
I’ve been groomed twice, I’ve been holding this secret for almost two years. I’m scared if I tell my parents they’ll be upset with me, or maybe even start a case. I don’t know who my groomers are irl.
im pretty sure i was groomed last night, bc this sounds a lot like what happened to me. he's 5 years older than me (im 15) and he found me through a mental health sub on reddit. blocked him, but holy shit that was not fun at all. he didn't ask for anything, but asked s3xual questions and such, even though im both asexual and a minor
@DUTCHE77 yeah, it sucks. Thankfully I'm doing a lot better now, and I've talked about the incident with my therapist. I still get anxious when I get messages from random people, but I usually ignore them
One important aspect to consider is that our digital footprints can have lasting consequences beyond our immediate circles. For example, did you know that according to a survey by CareerBuilder, 70% of employers use social media to screen job candidates? This underscores the significance of thinking critically about the content we share online.
I'm watching today because last night, me and my partner may have found out a trusted individual in my online life may have been grooming me/a predator. They have sent countless NSFW images to me and have made dirty jokes abt me correlated with said images. Worst thing, they are in a relationship with one of our really great friends and are a powerful influence in our group, so this puts in an extremely tough position. We are trying to work it out but for now I am doing research to see if our concerns are real. If there is anything you can help w/, advice etc, please do say so.
We need dead penalty back, that will solve lot of problems, this criminals don't get scared because law is wick and they dont get punished. Next time you vote for a politician look at this not only on the "free money you will receive. Legalizing marihuna benefits them.
@@clementines3322 that's true. I'm not talking for you. Even when it looks like you didn't be groomed by real big organism. Those girls are just pets that they used them the most they can and die in a few years. 1. It's not about what as individual person thinks or wants. It's about what works. 2. As society all votes count. 3. When you try to fix the issue, hard penalties works to reduce the problem. Soft penalties is like a joke for criminals. 4. If you understand what justice means, death penalty has to be applied in many times. IT'S NOT JUST AN OPINION.
Dude…it’s really hard to do that when you look up to them and trust them the person doesn’t want p to believe that their a groomer and in turn they might blame themselves
When someone manipulates you and makes you trust/believe them you will be hesitant to block them and sometimes you won’t realise it only after it’s too late
This older guy is forcing me to be his friend (nothing sexual tho) even tho i told him that am not comfortable with our age gap but he keeps forcing me and am scared this might turn into grooming
Holy shit I was groomed

I’m struggling with being groomed right now, that’s why I’m here. I hope anyone else struggling with this is doing well.
Please know it's not your fault and take care of yourself
I'm here for that too. It hasn't gotten bad yet. He hasn't made me do anything bad, but I'm uncomfortable and know I'm being groomed.

You too Evan!
i’m still trying to figure out if i was groomed but deep down i know i was
I never knew what happened to me had a name.. it was going on since I was 10 till I was 17 and my family basically just beat me and told me I was wrong.. but I never knew there was a name for what I went through.. now if it’s time for therapy
Even adult people would be groomed by scammers

Wow can’t even be safe in a place meant to be for help, that sucks.

I was groomed and I’m against the death penalty. You don’t speak for me.

all the teen has to do if any one says something they do not like is block them
1. the truama will still be there
2. they most likely have different profiles
3. if the minor trusts them, they wont want to block them

That’s still grooming. Please tell a guidance counselor or someone else who you trust.
Online grooming isnt real
So what is it then?
My traumas gone now,thanks.
