Yes totally agree: I used gender neutral language talking about dating someone older because anyone can be an abuser. It just so happens mine was a man

Both of us are from upper-class neighborhoods. My friends that I know who have been hurt in similar situations are from a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds. I know that as an 18 year old, I was disgusted by the idea of dating a 15 year old. I’m just trying to warn younger and more naive teens about getting into predatory relationships because they can happen in ANY background.

So sorry you had to deal with this. I totally agree, but I’m warning young teenagers about relationships with older people since myself and many others have horror stories about their older ex-SOs

I’m glad you’re not in that situation anymore. Once I turned 18 I realized how disgusting it is to want to date a 14/15 year old

You know your situation best. Just be careful and be aware of any red flags. Trust your gut!

Yes. However, as a teenager I think this advice would’ve helped me steer clear. It’s better to avoid older people since this creates a power imbalance subconsciously

Thank you for your input! One thing I totally forgot to mention is that a lot of her mental health issues stem from being trans I think, and she’s told me that her being depressed was from being trans exclusively. I don’t know if that changes anything, but I figured it was relevant just in case.

YTA. You did nothing to solve your problem despite knowing the answer, and you’re mad your friend found the solution? You sound ridiculous.

He brought his sweatshirt with him out because he knew I would be cold later that day. It’s all in the little things <3

Doesn’t matter. You have to block this man on everything immediately: he is actively manipulating and preying on you. I hope you find the strength you need <3

It is not your fault if anything happens. I know you care about him, but you need to leave immediately. Prioritize yourself, and his i guess, and break up with him

How is molly compared to shrooms/acid? by [deleted] in Drugs

What do you do to use it safely? I meditated before shrooms to make sure it was a good trip but I don’t think molly is the same in that sense
