often very sketchy, require a form of payment or involve information YOU have already put out online. Remember that what you feed into the internet can be seen by anyone online, including colorslive. dont let the fact that it isnt on a typical device distract you from this. dont post specifics about your town, school, workplace, and keep personal emails seperate from the ones you use for social media and such.

NEVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!!! this should be a given!!! YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SAY NO AND LIE FOR YOUR SAFETY. people on the internet have this right as well as you do. predators will do about anything it takes to get vulnerable with a child. they will lie and blackmail and keep tabs on you or even use your friends to get to you. and NEVER entertain this behavior, even for a laugh.

why do people prey on children online and why are they attracted to them? for starters, theyre f,ucked up, and secondly its because theyre naive. this is why even some adults prefer young adults, theyre younger which makes them easier to take advantage of and scare, they dont know themselves or their boundaries fully and they cant read people like someone whose developed mentally can. the less you allow yourself to be vulnerable with strangers the better, and trust your intuition

PREDATORS CANNOT BE 'SCARED OFF' BY YOU. this is mostly in reference to the 'dont entertain their behavior' thing. threats arent going to do anything. thats just fact. anytime you feel endangered, block that person, report them, tell family if you can or even report the behavior to the law. trying to defend yourself online against someone who wants to hurt you or others just isnt worth it

and lastly, predators arent always just creepy old men. they can be children your age, older teenagers, and they dont even have to be creepy. they can be completely normal people beyond their intentions or sick fantasies, they can be queer, autistic, disabled, they can be the kindest person you know and they can still prey on you. people older than you shouldnt be comfortable talking about their s'ex life, fe'tishes, sharing p'orn wether it be an art piece, animated, audio or even just a +

cropped image. if someone makes you uncomfortable, TELL THEM!!! if they refuse to change, they are NOT someone you should be around.

ok yu can comment now :heartpulse:

also like dont share the f'etishes you like or your mental conditions or the fact youre hypers'exual online as a minor this attracts the wrong people

@STUDLUSTforever very helpful. thank you for posting

Very useful, and important information. Thank you for helping support safe online communication.

If I may add my own two cents:
Sharing personal information to friends, even through a private message, may still expose you to potential threats. Do not share personal information. Even close friends may accidentally or intentionally expose your information.
