I was at a peaceful protest recently. Nothing big, some guys from the sheriff's department marched and chanted with us and made sure none of the local racists tried anything. So some parents brought their kids. Babies even. And some dipshit redneck old white folk decide it would be funny while we're peacefully protesting for justice, to set off a firework to scare us off and make us think they were shooting at us. It pissed me off so much. My mom said she saw in my eyes how angry I was that someone would even try to trick us like that. It was incredibly messed up.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: If you're a minor, don't send nudes to adults. Don't even send flirty or sexual messages. I know the attention is nice. I know it might make you feel special. I know it might make you feel mature. I know it might make you feel loved. Trust me, I've experienced it all and multiple times throughout my childhood! But it is not safe, and it is not okay. And when I say it's not okay, I mean the fact that an adult has groomed you into believing it's alright for you to engage in any romantic and/or sexual behavior with them. It is not okay that there are sick individuals out there harming children like this. And yes, it is harmful! It causes so many self-esteem issues, it can lead to relationship issues, it robs you of your childhood and innocence, it can warp your thinking, and it can even give rise to mental disorders like depression, anxiety, and more. It is harmful, it is traumatizing, and it will never be okay.

Please, if you're doing this, get out of it. Please do everything you can to get away from that person, even if it means asking others for help. Block them on all social media and block their phone number. Hell, you can even contact the police! And please make sure you talk to someone, whether it's a school counselor or a parent or a therapist or another trustworthy adult. Talking to your friends about this is important, too, but you still need to talk to a trusted adult to be able to properly process and get through the situation. Please make sure you have that support to help you get through it.

And please remember: it's not your fault. It's not your fault you were manipulated. It's not your fault you got hurt. It's not your fault someone took advantage of you like that. You are only a child. You cannot consent. You cannot always make decisions properly because your brain isn't even developed fully yet. Please don't blame yourself if you've experienced this. It is not, nor will it ever be, your fault.

Please stay safe, kids. And please know that you are loved. You are special and you are loved 💖
