Seeing so many people talk about EP is crazy

I was on there but I was young (for reference I’m 24 now) and honestly I’ve gotta agree that place was shut down for a good enough reason.

Im not posting this for sympathy but just to vent. I used it as a place to help me figure out my confusion I was feeling at the time (gender wise). I was always clear about my age with everyone I spoke to and they all said the same things “you’re mature for you age” was the most common one. But I wasn’t. I was barely a teen at the time. And I was giving them what they wanted every single time believing they thought I was mature for my age but being older now I realised they didn’t. They were taking advantage of me. They were grooming me. Looking back I’m ashamed of the things I did but I’m more ashamed at the 20 30 40 year olds who took advantage of me.

I feel like there are measures they could have taken to prevent that kind of predatory behaviour. Dont forget that the same predators are probably grooming on FB and Insta today though. I did meet a few young people on EP when i was on but wished them well and moved on once they told me their age. I was in my 20s at the time. It blows my mind that people as young as 14 were online looking for mental health help and probably still are.
