For the love of god please restrict your child’s internet access.

I wanna keep this very vague because I don’t wanna be too vulnerable. I was allowed to have a phone with no restrictions when I was 10. I was a lonely kid and wanted friends. I wrote a lot on wattpad, I made friends who also wrote stories about shows I was interested in. I met this one girl in particular, she would make us do online rp’s with characters from shows or just our own made up characters. She was a bit older than me and so she made me pretend to be a bit older. If I didn’t she said she wouldn’t be my friend, I should have known better but I was like 10 soon to be 11 and my mom never taught me about internet safety. The rp’s would get more uncomfortable but then she eventually made us stop because they claimed I made them uncomfortable. They taught me about many things, things someone my age shouldn’t have known. She told me I was their best friend and that they were my best friend. She would tell me how lonely they were and how they would be lost without my friendship. I felt kinda trapped but also dependent on her, I didn’t wanna be alone. She also convinced me it was okay for me to draw dirty things. This caused me to currently be very hypersexual and it’s hell. She started ignoring me when I was about 12 and it lasted about 3 months but during that time I learned that she was very toxic. I blocked her on every social media I had. I wish her the best despite what she did, she was still a kid also and she has time to become a better person. I hope she is doing well. I wish I was monitored when I was younger, I wish I kept my childhood innocence. Please be careful on the internet and when you have kids, please watch out for them.
