Ask Me Help Desk

I'm really scared help me!
So I went to tinychat to chat with strangers and I was on cam.
Someone I don't know sent me my Facebook account link and asked me if that account was mine. I didn't answer him.
Another one told me if I don't go to his private tinychat room he'll print screen the tinychat link and cut my pictures and send them to everyone. I wasn't naked or showing anything. But he scared me when he said he'll send my photos to everyone with his (sorry for the word) on it and I'll have a bad reputation...
Please help me.
Am I going to have a bad reputation?
I feel so stupid, I shouldn't have showed myself to strangers...
I know you'll think this is stupid and immature but I thought it is a good idea to meet people especially teens online...
My heart is dropped forever

So what if he shows pictures of you, if they aren't compromising?

You were right to not respond and to log off immediately. You should tell your parents what happened, the threats should be reported to the police.

There is nothing wrong with using such sites as long as you are very careful and don't do anything compromising.

I don't know he scared me, I'm scared to be famous on the internet...

I also deactivated my Facebook account, I don't feel it's safe anymore.
I can't tell them, they wouldn't like to hear from me that I go to such websites and showed my face to strangers, I'll lose their trust if I told them.

There is nothing wrong with just showing your face. Though you should have gotten their permission first.

But you do need to tell them. You did nothing wrong, in fact you did the right things but shutting down after you got these threats. They should be proud that you know when to shut it down. But in case your picture does surface, they need to know before it happens.

I just turned 18 two months ago, so I don't think I have to tell my parents everything I do. I'm an adult.
And I know that what I did is something immature, but I've been going through really difficult times. Family problems, sickness, loneliness, depression. So I thought going on that site would be fun and it would get me out off my dramatic world.

I know what you are thinking, things like that shouldn't scare me because I'm an adult... But threats always scare me.
Do you think that guy is going to post my pictures or he just wanted to use those words to make me cam up for him?

You are right to be concerned, and cautious. Particularly when instinct is telling you that what you are doing feels unsafe.

When a person wants to have you in a private chat, and begins to threaten you when you when you hesitate; that is a mistake in judgment on your part that it got that far in the first place.

In other words, you have learned from your mistake in time, and nothing bad happened. But, bad things happen to good people, people like you who need to learn the hard way sometimes that not all online people chatting, are good people. Police departments have entire staff devoted to online predators.

I agree that you should just let your parents know what happened. Confide in them and trust that they will more likely than not agree with your assessment and conclusion of the whole thing. You did the right thing in stopping it before anything further happened.

Fear isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fear can sometimes spark instinct, and instinct is something you should never ignore in my opinion.

Kudo's to you for handling this well.

I don't know what to do. It's already late and my parents have been going through too much pain lately. I don't want them to worry or feel concerned anymore. You know what I mean?
And a friend of mine faced the same sitiuation I'm facing now. She didn't do anything about it and the person who posted pictures of her got bored after two days.

At the same time, I feel really stupid, I should do something about it, but I don't think this issue deserves too much noise.
What happened to me can happen to anyone. But you know, no one wants to be famous on the internet and be called' oh look at that whore' because he might do some photoshops.

Also, the guy who gave me my Facebook link scared me more than the guy who wanted me to go to a private chat. If he could get to my Facebook, do you think he can get me?

How much information do you have posted about yourself that is public or is easily available -- real name, phone number, address, other personal and contact information? Have you checked and revised settings to make information private and available only to friends or not at all?

First, I assumed you were much younger. Yes if you are 18, it makes a difference. I would still talk to your parents, especially if you still live with them. But, since you are an adult, you need to learn to deal with these things yourself.

Yes, I think he was just trying to scare you into doing things you are smart enough not to do. And, even if he does, they are not likely to go very far. But if it concerns you, you need to bring it to the police.

One other question, why did you create a new account?

What is going on here? This appears to be the third account you are using on this site?

Im going to say this. Do not delete the email and be sure to tell the folks over at tint chat what happened. They can use the header information in the email to ban that person. Also his ISP should ban them also. They are guilty of cyberstalking and it is illegal.
