So, me and my friend were sitting in the gym and it was towards the end of the year we
decided, you know, to play a little joke guys we didn't know. So we decided to make the
fake KIK account and set the profile picture as a girl we didn't know. She was
a model. I know nobody really knew her because she wasn't that famous. And a lot
of guys started rolling in like, "Wow you're gorgeous...Hey, can I get your
number...what's your name beautiful?"...Things that you know guys has never said to me.
I enjoyed it you know...So I was like, "hey let's continue doing this." So we
continued doing it just playing jokes throughout the whole school day.
And it was time to go home so we just stopped. When I got home, I'm like "Hey let me make a new account."
I can get that attention because I enjoyed the attention that I got when I was
there my friend. So I made the account and I started talking with guys I didn't know,
started lying about my age, telling them I was 16 or 17 when I was really 13.
A couple months later, my Mom went through my phone and she caught the
messages, and she was asking me, "why would...you do this you are only 13...you don't need
to be doing stuff like this!" She yelled at me "RAH, RAH, RAH!" I got grounded and my
phone got taken away from me. A couple months later I got my phone back and I
promised myself that I wouldn't get back on KIK. Unfortunately I did get back on
KIK and I did catfish still. I did get a lot of graphic messages
They were all very inappropriate. Some asked how old I was. Of course I
lied, I told when I was 17. Then I got caught again my ninth grade year. My Mom
busted me. She was like, "Why are you still doing this, this is creepy, you shouldn't be
using other pictures of a girl you don't know." I didn't want her to tell her the
real reason of why I did this I kept it to myself.
You know it's sad because like I used to be called ugly all the time. And I don't
want to cry or anything like that but like I used to get called UGLY all the time.
It's like sad because like I used to go to so much when I was young and stuff. Like I used to get
jealous of my friends because they were so pretty they had boyfriends
and stuff and I was like wait wait wait for so long to find someone will who love me for me.
Years later I realize that you don't have to prove to anybody that you're
pretty you don't need the attention. I mean you can get the attention from a
guy who actually loves you for you not a guy who wants pictures from you or
anything like that. So I stopped towards the end of 9th grade year, I have high self
confidence and yeah that's my story thank you.
