Hi,
There's this website online called moviestarplanet and my friends told me to join it because they wanted to chat to me online. At first I said no, like really forcefully because I really didn't want to, but over time I gradualy began to weaken and I said Yes, which was really stupid of me.
I went on it and this person asked me to be their girlfriend. I didn't say anything at first, but they guy kept sending me girlfriend requests (on there you can add people as your boyfriend or girlfriend0 and then finally I added him because I didn't know what I could do to stop him because every time I deleted the request, it would come back again. He messaged me privately telling me to 'go to his house' because we have houses on there. Then he said some really gross and horrible things to me about things I'm not really meant to know (like sex and whatnot). I was really scared because he wouldn't go away. He also asked me if I was having my periods. I made a fake answer that was sort of vagueish. The site's meant for 8-15yr olds, but seriously, I think that guy was 18+ or something.
I told my friends and they said that 'yeah it's happened to us too but you have to get over it'. I was really annoyed and freaked out.
There was actually a moderating thingy but it didn't work, because people used symbols or mispelt the words on puprose but everyone got what they meant.
It's kinda freaking me out, cos it's happened loads of times after that too. I'm really scared because of that........
