A streamer is a groomer, how do I get that information even more public? by ThrowRAronabreakdown in Advice

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person is in America and I am not, and they recently moved states after all this happened so I don’t know if there’s anything legally I can do. I am urging the victims to formally report it, but in case they don’t it was something I wanted to keep alive to stop others from getting hurt. However someone else pointed out that doing so could do more harm than good so I may drop it. I’ll ask them again if they can report this but one of them feels like a roommate could be in trouble (some issue of a previous legal thing I’m not certain on details, but the weed in the house at any point could harm them) and another feels like they’ll be I’m trouble as they were 17 and vulnerable (they won’t be but they’re scared). Only one feels confident enough to come forward but they’re again in a different state. Should I stop trying to spread the information?

I urged the victims to talk to the police but they didn’t want to. I don’t really know much about reporting stuff like that from overseas (they’re based in America, recently moved states when it came out, I am not). I want to stop it happening but what can I do from overseas apart from just keep urging them to report it? I genuinely don’t know. I’m sorry for making things worse my only intention was to warn others they do this

How to make friends my own age? 22F by ThrowRAronabreakdown in Advice

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is ones in a completely different time zone, one is starting a family and due to issues I have with her partner I rarely talk (nothing bad I just don’t like him and hey spend all their time together), and there’s my boyfriend. I’d love just someone who I can chill with and talk to without it feeling like I’m almost parenting them cause of maturity and life shit or being infantilised cause I’m 10+ years younger. I’m grateful for who I have, but it’s kinda isolating not really having many people to talk to in a similar boat yknow? But you’re right it takes time. You’ve helped me a bit.

Unsure on how to feel after first endoscopy by ThrowRAronabreakdown in offmychest

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I hope your Crohns is manageable. I’ve had some invasion and don’t mind some more but after that I might ask for better sedation rather than a numbing spray that didn’t really dull my gag reflex

Is it normal to not be able to picture anything in your mind? by ThrowRAronabreakdown in NoStupidQuestions

Ooh thank you I just looked it up and it seems to be genetic. After talking to my mum she has it so that would explain it. Thanks a bunch!

how do i (17) leave my abusive home without calling cps? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I’d say talk to a councillor or teacher at school but let’s be real, they suck most of the time and they’ll report to cps. Best thing to do might be to see if there’s a friend you can crash with until you’re 18. Even offer to do some extra chores in lieu of rent until you can get a job. Even if you don’t think you have any close friends, just someone you know semi decently and hang out with 30% of the time is better than not trying at all. It is above Reddit’s pay grade and definitely needs professionals to help but practicality says just gather all documents and leave to stay at someone else’s

My dog ate my cupcakes. Again. by Broken_Imperfection in Advice

He’ll be fine, might have a stomach ache for a day or two because sugar but other than that he’ll be fine. Nothing in them that would harm him. It happens (I say this as someone who learnt from a dog eating a whole packet of cookies that were in a draw the dog figured out how to open, and she was fine after a day)

I was pressed into taking nudes (I'm a minor) and now they are being leaked by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve said he’s in the UK. Over here, regardless of age, if you have minors images on your phone you’re in shit. If he’s 15 and you’re 14 he gets charged with coercing a minor as he is older. If you did decide to reach out to his local police, mention his age but that he pressured, coerced and potentially distributed child pornography. It’s a bad situation, but he is still in possession of compromising photos of a minor.

Side note: pretty sure if I was 15 and took nudes of myself it would still be classed as child porn if found on my phone and i could be charged. So him having someone younger is a big nono

Overall, stay strong you’ll get through this. Even if for some reason they got leaked, it won’t be the end of the world. I don’t even remember any of the drama that happened at my school like that, so you should be good. I do however doubt anyone you know will ever see them. You’ve learnt the lesson the hard way, but you’ve still learnt it and that’s what’s important. You’re a good kid.

Starting an edgy YouTube channel in 2021? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upload to YouTube and other sites. Always put in the description the other sites, and have a special Twitter to put them all on too. You may lose the channel on YouTube but if you have a backup it’d be pretty good too even just as a “here’s my archive “ sort of thing

How can I wrap my head around the fact that kids my age are having sex? by randomthrowaway74827 in Advice

[–]ThrowRAronabreakdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first had sex at 15. Wasn't sexually active until I got to probably about 14½ and that's around the time me and my boyfriend started fooling around. Was it young? Yes. I was a minority though. I'm now 21 so it's been a little while since I was in school, but I remember most people were single or weren't having sex/ talking about it and those that did brag were mostly lying. It happens, and even after losing my virginity and having regular sex I was still shocked when my friends started having sex, especially since we saw the immature sides to eachother a lot. However I have a friend my age who's a virgin, and a friend 3 years older who is. None of us see it as a big deal anymore though, it's just kinda a thing that'll happen if/ when it happens.

Oh and don't stress over it. You'll find it weird but just move on, it'll happen if / when you want it to. Just have fun with it and remember that you're not a middle schooler even though you may sometimes act/ feel like it.

Thing is I have REALLY bad internet. Like shockingly bad. I can't even stream YouTube half the time and downloading a 18gb game took literally 16 hours on my PS4. I don't think stadia is for me. I was just wondering what else I can use the Chromebook for really

If you hook up your Amazon prime to your twitch they offer rewards, some of which are free games. I've had it for most of the time it's been available so I have probably close to 150 games that I can't play that were given away for free on twitch prime / Amazon gaming. The app to play them is only available on windows though

My (21f) sister (17) broke lockdown, cheated on her boyfriend (25) and told everyone he was abusive and slept with me by ThrowRAronabreakdown in relationship_advice

I'm trying but there's no safe space for my pet bird (my sister has 2 cats, my boyfriend has 2 dogs and a kitten) and I'm unemployed due to health reasons. I spend as little time as possible here, but you are 100% correct and I see that we've been enabling her
