Why do I keep doing it
Your Question
Why do I keep on talking to bad people, like adults and it ALWAYS ends up sexual, why do I this? I don’t really know why. I don’t care when I first talk but over time I get a feeling that everything is my fault and that I should do more. u_u;
Answer
Hi there, Thanks so much for getting in touch.
Firstly, we think it is very brave of you to reach out. It can be tough to have thoughts and reoccurring fears running around in our heads. So, it’s important we share them with someone we trust to help ourselves understand them a little better. But also, to keep ourselves safe while talking to bad people. Â
Have you thought about where this all started? It might help to acknowledge what lead you to always choose this way of communicating. This is not your fault and adults have a responsibility to not engage in that type of conversation with a child. This article may be helpful for you to read, www.childline.ie/what-is-sexual-abuse/.
We are wondering if you have spoken to a friend or another trusted adult about what is going on for you. Talking things through, with someone neutral, can help us to feel better and to see a clearer picture of what is going on, so that you don’t go through this alone. You deserve to get help and support for what you are going through.
