Thread Topic: I need to vent about something traumatic that happened to me

about a month ago there was this 18 yr old who I had a light crush on. he had JUST turned 18 and I had been 15 for awhile, so it was a little more than a two year age difference (by 19 days). anyways apparently he liked me back and we still didn't date because of age laws and stuff like that. it was peaceful and I was happy for the first time ever because oh my GOSH someone liked me back. anyways about a week passes and I realize I'm always the first person to initiate stuff, such as calls, texts, etc etc and he never did a single thing in return for me. I always did stuff for him, never vice versa. he left me feeling used so I lost feelings. then he got scary. he threatened to break into my house. he knows how to bypass security cameras, he knows where I live, and knows how to professionally fight. I got pepper spray to defend myself and now I have it on me at all times. I told him to stay away from my house and he has. I don't want to report him, because he has been my best friend throughout the whole year and I know what his home life is like. yet I have to report him because it just isn't right. I think I'm better mentally now than I was when that happened, yet I have learned to not trust anyone, especially best friends. my parents never learned what happened, it's just something I prefer they don't know. he still scares me and I'm cutting him off completely after my senior year. I can't do it now because he knows where I live and I'm so scared he might hurt me.

I'm sorry that sounds bad

Have you reported him already?
These situations can turn bad. Not all the time, but they can. And it's worth protecting yourself over, reporting to somebody who can help and, and telling your parents about even if that makes you uncomfortable. A best friend wouldn't threaten you like that, or make you feel endangered. His home life is not an excuse for threatening behaviour, and he is old enough now to know that behaving like that is wrong.
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with this man, and I hope things get better for you and that you remain safe -
I reported him, yes
