when i was in 7th grade, i was being groomed. it was a point in my life where i didn’t have a lot of close friends, so i sought attention online. it was extremely emotionally traumatic, but it taught me so much
it was a point where i was first discovering and accepting my asexuality; and they emotionally manipulated me into thinking that was bad and I was “frigid”. i was in middle school.
i was actually groomed multiple times in that span of time, and by truly wicked people (aside from being groomers). now that i look back, some even didn’t regard it as bad. but i had nobody else to go to to make me feel cared for
i usually won’t post things like this ever, but im doing so in order for people to understand that this is a problem. if you are young and you see this thread, please take precautions as to who you trust—especially older people.
