Hello, I’m Spence and I just got on here to let some stuff off my chest. So as everyone knows during your young ages you get yk A LOT more easier and frequently than usual. So I decided that I was gonna act on that. And I usually just chill and look shit up then boom done. but this girl that I met on an app I used had posted something on her story and I had replied. Then she was like show me and I usually don’t do that stuff so I was like you show me and when she did I was stupid and decided to. I had reason to believe that it was really someone bc I’d seen her in the past and I had just thought that we were just being young and dumb yk. So she sent again and then i like fully sent it and then out of nowhere they were like I have your stuff they sent me a picture of both the photos I sent, a picture of me, and my snap and said if I don’t send them 300 dollars they would send my stuff to all my school pages and family members. I started stressing and I was thinking of telling my mom but I just couldn’t. I ended up telling my friend and we were just like joking about it but I was stressing real bad. And he just went through a break up so Ik he was dealing with his own shit. But as we were talking i was doing everything imaginable I went to sextortion websites to get help. I was really scared . But after a while I just started thinking about it and I just decided oh well. It’s my fault I messed up I gotta move on. I saw someone in some comments saying that they would just own up to it and i decided to do the same if it were to leak. I blocked the person and I’m gonna move on. I have taken full responsibility for it and I’m swearing to myself I never will do the same thing again. And they also really don’t have no way of contacting anyone I know. And uhhh yeah that it ig. Just felt like I had to say something about it and thank you for reading this.

Hey there,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I’m one of the digital mentors here and I give advice to those who reach out to us.

I have a lot of experience in helping people in the same situation as you, and it’s really common to feel like you are to blame. However, I just want you to know that you’ve done nothing wrong. You were just in the moment, having fun, and you did not know your trust was going to be betrayed like that. It’s great that you blocked her as this is the advice we always give in this situation. We also find that if the content is going to be leaked, it usually happens straight away, so the more time that passes, the less and less likely this becomes. Also, the motivation is usually just money, so once they have been blocked, they tend to realise they aren’t going to get the money and then just move on. What do you think?
