I know you’re probably still reading this so if you’re going to pay attention to one message, please let it be this.
I’m not an adult and I genuinely mean this from teen girl to teen girl. I’m 17 and when I was 15 I was messaging a YouTuber. I’m unsure of your age and I really can’t be bothered finding out but I’m going to assume we’re close. I won’t put in a name of this YouTuber but I was completely blind to who he really was. Of course he was safe, he was connected to family channels and channels aimed at kids, so surely he was a good guy? No. This man was a pedophile. He wanted to talk to me for reasons I won’t mention but it won’t take a genius to figure out. I know that Jonathan seems nice, he seems a caring man, he seems trustworthy, he seems SAFE, but just remember that people lie over the internet to get what they want. Please, please, please stop messaging him - it doesn’t matter if it’s just public twitter convos - it has great potential to become something much more dangerous and it is so difficult to get out a situation like that when you’re being sucked in and feelings start happening. I know he seems like everything and more right not but I promise you will regret it. I’m glad you’ve made friends through something you have in common but please do not let the thing you have is common is that you were all victims. Because that’s what me and others have in common. We were victims. Right now? You might not be a victim. But tomorrow? You might be a victim. The man I knew was seen as respectful and a good person - even now I still can’t believe he was so different. At the start he was so genuine and a lovely guy. You might relate to this as you see that as Jonathan. Just remember that I became a victim.
Please Emily Rose, cut contact before it gets to my situation.
