the man who took the picture of amanda Todd 4 years ago sounds so much like what happened to me at 15. he knew my adress, school, friends, etc. even had a video of my friend. he threatened me into doing things for him over webcam, recorded it, and then used it to control me until I completely demolished my old Hotmail account. he made me watch him get off(from the waist down). I had called the cops at first, I lied a little and said he had somehow gotten the file off my computer and that it was personal. I thought i was going to get into a ton of trouble. they said there was nothing they could do and i should know better. nothing else. no follow up, no offer for support, nothing. treated me like garbage for it. I’ve seen therapist for other things but I’ve never been able to talk about it. It’s been 8 years and It still causes anxiety. I have no idea what happened to that video… maybe he deleted it? maybe it’s been sent to some sick p*** p*** site? this whole incident with Amanda Todd has brought it back front and center… I want to talk about it, but i feel ashamed, embarrassed and I don’t trust anyone enough…

If you want someone to talk to about it, let me know. I’ve got all the time in the world.

Hi! have met a friend online and we have mindlessly did things. The whole Amanda Todd story is making me afraid, racking my brain. If that were to happen to me… I would not know what to do. but if it does…I just hope that I would be able to handle it well. I’m trying to still have faith on humanity but I am preparing myself.
It’s easy for me to say to you that you could just let it go. forget and accept. But I know that being violated, taken advantage of (especially on our sexuality) is psychologically damaging.
We’re breathing today. We can live past this. I know you can do it. If you are ready to talk about it, do. Let me know if you need someone.
