If you’re a minor, I promise you there’s no good reason for someone significantly older than you to be interested in you romantically or sexually -Even if their intentions seem pure. It’s not possible for them to have good intentions. They are an adult & they know what they’re doing is wrong. -Even if they tell you “you’re so mature”. This is a common grooming tactic among pedophiles. -Even if they give you examples of other people in happy relationships with huge age differences. -Even if they say something along the lines of “our love is stronger than our age difference/age is just a number/I’ve never felt this way about anyone else/it doesn’t matter what people think”

No matter what, there’s no good reason for an adult to be in a relationship with a child. You deserve an un-abusive partner who is your own age who will understand you better & have much more in common with you.

Imagine yourself.

You are 14. You want to try dating. You wouldn’t want to date an 11 year old though, right? No, no way. You want someone your age!

At 15, an 11 year old is out of the question! That’s just silly. Even 12 is too little– you might even have a younger sibling that age. Gross!

At 16, would you date someone who is 13? (a middle schooler). You wouldn’t, right? As a high schooler, 13 is just a baby.

This phenomenon is NOT lost on adults. Take it from someone who IS one.  As an adult, anyone who is a teenager is a child to us. This is not meant to be condescending; adults see teenagers as people who have growing to do. People who are so much younger, immature even. Small like a younger sibling who needs protecting. If you are underage, and an adult tells you that they see you as an adult and are attracted to you because of it, THIS IS A LIE. They see you as a child. If an adult tells you that they see you, who is underage, as an adult, stay away. That person is attracted to children. That person is a pedophile.

Oh my god, so important. Listen, normal adults will not want to date you when you are still a young teenager. We don’t look at you as viable options for a serious relationship, simply because we’re at very different stages in life.

Please do not listen to any adult who tells you otherwise. They are not attracted to you because they see you as an equal - they see you as a young person who doesn’t have the life experience to call them on their bullshit, and they want to use that to manipulate you.

You’re awesome and you deserve a healthy environment in which to learn and grow.

And before people pop off with that “but they look grown” or “i didn’t know how young they were at first” I can tell you from experience that an actual non pedophilic adult who is momentarily attracted to a 16 or 17 year old will immediately upon finding out their age or noticing other signs of youth/emotional immaturity respond with “oh never mind that is a child. Bye!”

[danqueray-deactivated20200703]

i’ve seen a horrible post go around a lot so my fellow lesbians, your love is beautiful and you are not gross, your love isn’t purely sexual or a fetish, it’s not for porn, it’s not predatory; it’s pure and wonderful and perfect and something to be celebrated 💕

Watch out for people who identify as NOPs or have “nop” in their URL. NOP Stands for Non Offending Pedophile and as far as I know it’s now being used in place of MAP for, uh, “safety reasons”

[illness-deactivated20180325]

also watch out for the word “virped” which stands for “virtuous pedophile” (“virtuous” means non-offending)

No, having an abortion isn’t linked to anxiety and depression

Abortion opponents want women to believe terminating a pregnancy won’t just lead to regret, but wider mental health issues as well.

Informational pamphlets distributed in nine states allege abortion is linked to anxiety and depression.

According to the Atlantic, a handout provided to patients in Texas suggests undergoing the procedure may lead to “depression or thoughts of suicide.”

A new study from the University of California, San Francisco sheds doubt on these claims.

“We found no evidence that women who have abortions risk developing depression, anxiety or low self-esteem as a result of the abortion,” said UCSF social psychologist M. Antonia Biggs in a press release.

In fact, after interviewing and observing 956 women, Biggs said her team found the opposite to be true. Read more

Shoutout to anybody who has ever found themselves in a doctor’s office/therapy because of their asexuality, whether they chose to go on their own or someone forced them to go.

I’m sorry that the world you live in can make you and others think that you’re sick/broken and need professional help just because you don’t experience sexual attraction. 

You can be perfectly happy and healthy as an ace person. You do not need to be having sex in order to be healthy. You do not need to be in a relationship in order to be healthy. Taking good care of yourself and being at peace with yourself is far healthier than trying to force yourself to conform to someone else’s standards of “normal” and “healthy.”

Why is an adult/child dating relationship automatically abuse?

As a teenager, you are growing and learning at a phenomenal pace. Month by month you are becoming savvier, wiser, more socially equipped. That rapid development continues into your 20s. So as a teenager, a big age gap is a REALLY big age gap, because you are learning and changing so much so quickly during that time. It’s not totally about “maturity” though - it’s about power. As you get older, younger people start to look up to you. They might trust you to know things you really don’t, because you’re older and you know how to say stuff convincingly. Getting older also means learning all the different ways people  pressure or manipulate each other. Most of us are still learning about this stuff into our 20s - even if we’re really smart and mature. Someone having a lot more of this knowledge than the person they’re dating means the power in the relationship is uneven, because the older person can pressure you in ways you can’t recognise or defend against.

And I’m sure teenagers have noticed that if you get into a conflict with an adult, other people take the adult’s word over yours. Even if you’re right. Even if you need help. So if you date an adult, that person has power over you that, even if they don’t try to use it, really does effect how the relationship works. There’s no way to have a healthy relationship with that big a power difference, because you can’t make choices the adult doesn’t like without worrying about what they’ll think or do. You’ll end up in situations you’re uncomfortable with and not have the tools or social power you need to get out of them.

The other piece is - adults who date teenagers are looking for something they can’t get in their usual dating pool. For most adults, dating a teenager wouldn’t even occur to them, because they understand how wrong it would be. Adults have our own groups of friends, our own ways to meet people our own age, and if an adult is flirting with kids they’re looking for something they can’t get from someone who’s old enough to catch on.

The adults who seek out teenagers want someone they can pressure and manipulate. They’re looking for an abusive relationship, and like all abusers they’re really sneaky about it at first - but they have the added advantage of knowing tricks you haven’t had time to learn yet, as well as the advantage of being listened to when you won’t be.

Every smart, mature kid feels older than their age at least some of the time. I know I did. But being really smart and really mature doesn’t make you an adult - having had years and years of being around other people and learning the little social things that you can’t get from books is part of it. Having the power of an adult - the freedom to come and go as you please, being listened to by the people around you - that’s the other part.
