You all have probably gotten lectures from your parents explaining how dangerous the internet can be. As my Mom (and probably many others) put it, it’s the devil’s playground.
I need to tell you guys this story. As most of you know, (except for maybe some of you new members), Wispiflower and I have each other’s numbers and stuff, so we text, call, FaceTime, etc. And over this past year, we’ve gotten to be great friends. But do you know how risky that was? She could’ve actually been an old creepy man! But it’s the same for Wispi, that was risky to communicate with someone over the internet whom you’ve never actually met. In her perspective, I could’ve been the creepy old man. Obviously we know now that that isn’t the case, thank you God, and now we’re best friends.
But back to my little message here. I have a little sister, who‘s name I will not give, who has gotten herself into trouble with boys off of the internet. It started with an online game I used to play. It’s some wolf game that I liked, but ended up deleting over the summer. Why? It’s full of boys who lust for mating with girl wolves and a whole bunch of junk like that. But this game was NEVER created to become that inappropriate.
In game, you can chat with other players and stuff, which can be cool, unless it gets to the wrong level. My sister stepped up onto that wrong level. She gave her email address to multiple boys and now they text her asking her for inappropriate pictures, phone s*x, etc. My Mom has told her many, many times to block them and delete that game. However, my sister hasn’t. Why? She’s DESPERATE for friends. Her life is kinda rough. Her classmates at school are jerks. No one is her real friend. I hate watching my little sister go through that, and sometimes I just want to punch the kids.
Anyways, to sum that up, she wants friends, becomes desperate, gives her email to creepy, gross, inappropriate (I could still go on) boys, and now for all I know she could be giving them personal information. It scares me, and my family. For some reason, she can’t tell them ”no.” I find that simple, but my sister and I are complete opposites. I’m stubborn, sassy, defiant, etc., but I have friends, good friends, at school who I can count on. My sister? She has nothing. No self esteem, a crushed heart, no courage, nothing. So, she does what gets her into serious trouble. (And I don’t mean punishing type of trouble)
To close this message, I want you guys to be careful. I want you to know to be careful out there. The internet is dangerous. Who knows who is secretly on this Message Board stalking us?
But please, don’t give personal info to random people because you don’t know who they could really be. I took that chance once, and although I got a best friend out of it, it’s usually not the same for others. I can‘t say this Message Board is full of those creepy people, because you guys are great kids who share the same interests and love the series this board is based on.
Anyways, please, just be careful.
this is an older post, but it’s still very relevant
Yeah Child P**nography dont kill me
Yes. I know this. Its horrible. We learned about this in health. I'm so grateful I had a friend that supported me. Also, was it WolfQuest?
Girlscouts or any other activity program thing maybe will introduce her to new people. This is called Child ...........
Oh wow........ This world sucks XD. I hope your sister learns what's right and can find the courage to delete that stuff off her phone.
Thanks for the warning, I'm sure your sister is really nice.
Yes, this is why being one the internet is so dangerous. You never know who your talking to. I think we've all been pretty lucky that the MB has gathered such a nice group of people, but I'm always worried that at some point that might not be the case. That's why (even though it doesn't seem like it at times) I am pretty carful about what information I'm letting out.
You didn’t tell me that last part! Why didn’t you tell me that last part? Eh, well, I know now, so it’s okay. But oh my gosh.... She‘s such a nice girl! (In her own way.) She deserves some good friends.
Woah... thanks for sharing that with us, Cass. There are tons of wolf games, but... I think I have that one. It’s called Wolf Online.
Now, when I say this next part, all of you are going to reel away. You might never speak to me again. I’m probably even going to get kicked off the MB, but I need to be honest with you.
I know this is supposed to be about everyone, but as usual, I’m stealing the show, so thats great.
okay.
I stepped up to that level.
I think you know what I’m talking about, and... yeah.
Please believe me when I say that I am definitely not proud of it. I am so ashamed. It’s a sin to do that, especially when there’s a p*rn ban in our house, and when I step up to that level, I know that I can choose not to.
If you stop talking to me because I am such a terrible, disgusting, socially awkward bag of garbage, it’s completely and utterly my fault. Hurl mean insults, beat me up, curse me to Hell, I deserve it all for all the times I knew I was sinning, that I knew I could’ve walked away, but I didn’t.
I am so, so sorry you had to hear this. God tried to give me hope again by leading me to you guys, and I’ve thrown it all away. I can delete my account if you want. I promise, if you don’t want me to, then I will never contact you again.
Wow just wow,,, I think I used to hv that wolf game but I deleted it. I'll be praying for your sister. Just be careful out there other MB Members.
Thank you Cass for posting this. People need to know what dangers the internet has in store. My mom has warned me several times to not give out personal information.
I’m super sorry about your sister. It’s hard not having good friends around. I will be praying for her. I hope your family finds the best solution.
I know I don’t have any reliable way of proving this, but I am not some creepy stalker person. I came to this MB because I wanted to fangirl like crazy about TGH and post my theories, which I haven’t done much of. I’m not waiting in the dark evilly hoping that I can creepily suck your life force out of you or something. That would be weird.
Oookay. Wow. First: get onto the game in secret on your sister’s account and delete it. In fact, it doesn’t have to be secret. She can’t say no for some reason, so be the bigger person (literally) and say no for her. Break off all her contact with them. It will hurt for her at first, but you need to end this soon- before it gets worse.
Also, did you say you want to puch the kids who bully your sister? By all means, start taking karate. As long as they deserve it and I’m not getting punched, I see nothing wrong there.
