Social Media

Online, there are many cases were vulnerable teenagers are lured in by strangers using false identities. Although many news stories show the after effects, for example murders, rapings etc, there are many people who tell their experiences online as they are happening. On a blogging site an annoyoymous girl recites her experiences of a man trying to seduce her and meet up using the power of the internet. She posted:


Online 17 year old guy wants to meet up with me, help!! ?
o basically here's the thing and it would mean so much for you guys to take the time to read this and give me advice cos I don't really have anyone to turn to.
So I'm 13 years old and play runescape ( this online computer game where you can chat with people and play it) sometimes with my friends so I met this guy on there and he was really nice to me and we becama friends and in the end I found out that he lived like 15 mins away from me and we became quite close, to the point where I would come on runescape most days and talk to him. So he said he was 17 and have me his facebook and asked for mine and I saw his facebook which looked innocent enough as it was pics of a guy at school with friends but I had heard about dangers of the internet so I didn't give him my real facebook and made a fake account instead and just got some pictures from google images. And anyways after a while he said he really liked me a lot and omg I regret this so much cos he asked for my mobile number so we could text at like school or whenever and I gave it to him and I know I was dumb :/ so anyways we began texting and like it turned into where we would text like 11pm till like 1am non stop. Then he said he wanted to meet up with me because he felt like he really knew me and he loved me but cos i had given him a fake facebook acc and just cos of my safety I kept saying I was busy and then I said I moved to another city so I could get him to stop cos he brought it up loads, he even said once that his parents and him were moving to another state soon and he wanted to see me before they went but that never happened. So recently in the past week I kept getting these calls that were on private number and i didn't answer them cos I did't know who it was then I texted him about the calls and I found out it was him and now he calls me sometimes but i don't answer the phone and just make excuses.
I know I have been so dumb and everytime I blank him for a few days he says nice things to or says something funny and I feel sorta guilty. Please I want to end this how can i stop this, he keeps making hints about meeting up with me and says he could come to my "new city" or I could go to his, I just want to stop this because I think there's something dodgy going on.
