Would this make me a pedo?

[Anonymous]

when i was 10 or 11 i had a sexual experience involving sexual activity with a girl i dont remeber her age but like 3-5 i didn’t think it was weird as a child but now that i’m 16 i have bad guilt over it and feel like a bad person i asked my older brother he said as kids you make mistakes and are curious about things and make bad choices but he said i’m not bad or wrong for it as long as i know what i did was wrong and don’t do it again do you agree that it was just a mistake and i shouldn’t feel guilty for what i did as a child and does this make me a pedo i don’t feel attracted to children or anything and i know right and wrong so should i move past it or should i seek help and am i a pedo or a bad person or both cause the guilt has consumed me not gonna lie and want others opinions on this

it wasn’t sexual intercourse by the way it was more of the stuff that is before that

If you're not into little children now and find the very thought distasteful, your brother's probably right. Children doing weird stuff is not uncommon. Sounds like you understand that. Let go of the guilt, take the learning, don't do it again, move on.

thank you it helps a lot to hear that people keep saying therapy but i don’t think i need therapy cause u don’t have those thought and i’ve never had a experience like that since it was a one time thing and since then it never happened again and i have never thought of children like that or found them attractive like that i think my brother may be right in saying it was a child curiosity thing that i didn’t realize was bad at the time but did now since i have learned what is right and wrong and that was bad to do yknow

does that mean i should put the guilt and thoughts to rest and move on and forgive the mistakes i made as a child?

You need to see a therapist who specializes in this area rather than talking about it with random strangers online. What you posted is extremely disturbing.

sorry but i’m poor and can’t afford a therapist so this is the only kinda thing i got other than my family but i asked them and they all said a similar thing is children make mistakes and move on but i just wanted a second opinion

A pedophile is an adult attracted to prepubescent kids.
You were a pervert instead.

don’t know if that’s better or worse 💀

Id seek therapy anmd talk to the child involved.

[Asker]

i don’t think i need therapy i don’t have like any thoughts like that it was i guess i was curious of that or sum when i was younger and didn’t realize it was wrong but i didn’t think of it until recently and feel guilty for that and i can’t talk to the girl cuz she don’t live near anymore do i think i should feel guilty for it or should i move past the mistake?

[mermaidcancermoon]

It was wrong so guilt is natural. But talking to the child involved would put it to rest. Most people remember it when they were 3+ they could be holding some feelings on it too.

[Asker]

i can’t tho is the issue she gone so what do i do now

[Asker]

i know it was wrong but should i keep the guilt or do like my brother said and see it as a mistake i made as a child and learn from it and forgive the past and move on
