I made a big mistake sending NUDES even tho I am a minor.

Hello, the other day My parent's weren't home and I was on a mobile game where I met a sketchy guy. He claimed to be 19 and I said I was 16 or 17 ( I am 15) and we left the game to go talk on Snapchat instead. I can't remember who asked first, but I ended up sending him nudes and so did he in return (I wasn't even interested in him). I quickly realised that was really messed up, so I blocked him without saying anything. The next day, I was talking to my school councillor and I accidentally hinted to the 'incident'. She realised it was very important and told me that I was a victim of something very illegal. She then had to tell her Safeguarding team (includes my science teacher) and the principle and the vice principle (also my drama teacher). Now she had called the police and told my parents about it. They are very, very upset. And I feel really really bad. How bad of a situation did I put myself in?!

hey sweet, I had a similar situation when I was your age in school, im 19 now, I told one of my friends what had happened, and they told our head of year, safeguarding got involved and so did my parents, eventually it blew over and it was forgotten about. At the end of the day it was a mistake and something that you shouldn't be doing again with someone of that age, and its also a really big issue to lie about your age, its dangerous for you and for the other person, they could go to prison. Regardless of all the facts, it will be ok, and it will blow over and be forgotten about. It's obviously not a good situation to be in and from experience I would not reccomend getting yourself into this situation again x how are you feeling about it? I know its awful to have people now about stuff like this x

I'm glad to hear that it will eventually blow over, and that I am not the only one to have made such a big mistake. I am often feeling really bad about myself, especially because of how hurt my parents are. I haven't told any of my friends, I am scared they won't look at me in the same way (I am probably being a bit dramatic). Thanks for the support x it means a lot x
