I know this may be very personal, but I really need help with this. I'm paranoid about this one guy finding me. He is a guy that started messaging me on kik. It started with just playful talking, but then he wanted nude pictures and videos of me. For some reason my brain forgot the endless lectures my mom have me about these people, and I did it. I sent my first nude to a stranger when I'm only thirteen. I start crying every time I open the app to talk to my friends, I also get very paranoid that he will leak these videos I sent him. Please, whatever you can do, can you help me get rid of this feeling?

Hey honey,
I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I am really sorry to freak you out, but I have to ask though - how old was the guy, do you have any idea? Since you are 13, your photos are still considered a child pornography and he acted illegaly by asking you for them.
You should definitely contact authorities. Do you have a good relationship with your parents? If so, tell them. They will tell you off, sure, it will be unpleasant, but the person you have spoken to might be dangerous, and if you have his contact, police might find him before he hurts you or some other girl, maybe even younger.
If you don't trust your parents, do you have someone you do? Friend's mom, aunt, teacher? If not, go to a school counselor. They are bound by confidentiality, they mustn't tell anybody except for the cops. It might be nothing, it probably is, but you may have met a dangerous person and this is something you can't handle alone.
If you do this, you'd be a hero cause you might potentially save more young girls than just yourself. You are 13 and a victim in this, nobody can charge you, you won't get into trouble for this, but the man might be a predator and you got to be our strong girl and inform the authorities about them. They will protect you, there are ways of how to do it, but they must be aware of it. Find a confidant, tell them, and go make a statement. Cops are nice to kids, trust me, they must be. The worst thing to happen to you is they'll tell you you've done something you shouldn't have, but if you tell them, you can literally save lives. I am sorry one more time for what happened to you. I am not from the US, but I am a girl working in law - if you want to talk about it, feel free to message me any time. Take care!
@HT_A a Thank you so much!! He told me he was 28 years old. Also my parents have been trying to get help, but my mom has been so sick that we have to take care of her.
