A Facebook nightmare (Clara’s story) STORY DESCRIPTION
My name is Clara and the story I am telling you happened 2 years ago when I was 16. I didn't even imagine then how much harm could cause me some photos. It all started when I met a boy on Facebook. He told me he was 18 and I talked to him every day. He made me feel good, he understood me and for a month he was my support. I felt special with him. Until then, I had never had such an experience with a boy. We never met face to face, we only talked on Facebook through written messages and audio. He always invented something when I wanted to call him with video. It seemed strange, but then this didn't make me think too much and I didn't pay attention to it. After a while, he asked me to send him some pictures of me in my underwear and then undressed. I didn't want to at first, it seemed wrong, but he convinced me. He told me I was beautiful and he just wanted to know me closer to him. He told me that I had nothing to worry about, that we would see each other soon and everything would be fine. He won my trust and in the end, I accepted. From now on, my nightmare began. He was no longer that understanding and loving boy, who made me feel special, he wanted more and more photos. When I refused and wanted to break up with him, the threats began. He told me that he would post all the pictures on porn sites and send them to my parents, my colleagues, and the principal of the school where I study. And if I tell someone about us, it will be even worse. I was very scared and I didn't know what to do. I cried for a whole week, I was very afraid that my parents would find out. I felt very bad and ashamed. I also imagined how all my colleagues and teachers find out and I am kicked out of school. The threats were repeated day by day. I blocked him on Facebook, but he still came up with fake accounts. I knew it was him. I was desperate and I deleted my Facebook account. My friends asked me what was going on, but I made up some stupid excuses. My grades also started to drop. I couldn't think of anything else. My parents also noticed that I was not well, but I told them that I was just stressed with school. I couldn't sleep well, I couldn't eat. After a few months, I calmed down. I had closed my Facebook account and heard nothing about him. More than 6 months had already passed and I decided to reopen my account. I thought he forgot about me. I was the only one in the class without a Facebook and Instagram account. But my peace did not last long. He approached me again with the same threats, having a fake account with another name.
