I agree with some people posting,you shouldnt look in a public forum for help,especially here,100's of people access these boards every day,anyone can read your posts
one of the main problems is :
Pedophiles,cyberstalkers, look for loners. Many parents buy their children a computer because they don't have many real life friends. These kids are easier prey, since it's less likely they'll talk about the overtures to their friends, and they are more susceptible to someone trying to befriend them. They're lonely, and the pedophile poses as a much-needed friend.
Pedophiles look for kids who are having problems at home. They too are easier prey, since they are looking for a sympathetic ear. The pedophile tries to win the child over by further separating the child from their family, complaining about "parents" generally.
by letting people know your problems in a public forums..you are an open invitation ..your a walking talking ,victim online looking for help..and
being younger..i know you all think you are untouchable ,smart and streetwise..specially being online you all think its your domain.you think.no one can touch you...but not everyone is computer savy streetwise and smart..so you leading by example..can show others thats its wrong to post such information...but these people..get to know you..and they take months even up to a year ..of talking ,geting to know you more...as soon as you tell them"i have a problem" you have already opened the door..as a "victim of circumstance"
jus like also i hate that photograh thread.".Children should never agree to send or e-mail their photograph to someone they do not know. "The next thing you know is, you see your child's face on someone else's naked body. This can happen,"
