I was on this site in 2013 and 2014 when I was 13/14 years old. I joined because I started showing signs of mental illness as I became an adolescent and had no one to talk to about it. I started talking to a girl. She was 23. I was still figuring out my sexuality (and gender identity) at that time, you know, because I was 13. We talked every day and she would gaslight me and berate me if I didn't respond, even if I was at school or working over the summer. I would send her nude pictures (THROUGH THE WEBSITE, BTW) and she would send ones back. If I didn't send photos she would accuse me of being fake, and make me send specific pictures to prove I was real. Looking back, being almost 21 years old, it's clear to me that I was being groomed by this person. I really wonder how many other kids were exploited sexually on this website.
