Dear Marina:

I am sorry that you were bullied and blackmailed years ago. No wonder traumatic experiences returns to awareness years later.

“This was also around the time where a girl from 6th grade from the previous school..  had her nudes leaked all over the school and sold on streets (secretly). I didn’t know if I had any nudes or filmed myself naked“-

– cyber bullying is a real, unfortunate reality, traumatic to many young people who fall victims to it. I am guessing that your stolen videos did not include enough nudity, if any, to.. compete with other young people’s videos, so they weren’t circulated. 

Thank you for sharing your story here. It may help someone reading it to avoid being a victim to cyber bullying, either by not taking self-videos or by making sure that every one of such videos is deleted, every time.

“Another thing, I was also too scared of anything to reach to my parents- those were the biggest bullies to me too“- it is a tragedy when a child’s parents are the child’s bullies/ biggest bullies. My mother was my biggest bully.. so I relate. Is this parental bullying still ongoing in your life?
