      Awesome, keep up the good work, marine science is a very competitive industry, very important ecosystems, it's another world down there, I stick to terrestrial woodland communities, in particular Australian east coast species.
      And I love dolphins to, very intelligent social animals.

    I make friends in real life only. I'm just online for questions and answers so I never have to deal with this issue because whether the other person is young, old, male, female, or remotely looks like the profile pic is irrelevant to me.

    You have a very interesting story I have to say, sounds like it could be from a book or a film about bullying. Reminds me of my middle school time a little too.
    I'm honestly surprised that your plan worked so well and no one found out

      @Aakash_Hangargi You CAN'T know that. Just because she intended all her exchanges to be platonic doesn't mean some guys didn't take interest all the same. And just bevause she called it quits doesn't mean their weren't some people that wanted a closer personal friendship. You shouldn't deceive people And we have no way of knowing how many people she hurt.

      @Aakash_Hangargi I've actually thought of creating an catfish account on a dating website just to see the difference in attention a guy with male model looks etc. get.
      I mean. it would only be to have a few conversations so by your and her logic. It's harmless. I wouldn't keep the ruse going. But i would be willing to bet the woman involved wouldn't feel that way.
      I get contacted by catfish daily. I've gotyen very good at spotting them. Because most catfish are lazy. But it doesn't make them any lesd anmoying.

      I understand that but the difference was she was young and she used it as defense mechanism not on purpose, and also sometimes we get carried away it's possible to happen but she corrected it and at that age what she could have known and mostly would have been afraid knowing that she was already liying so different scenarios

      @Aakash_Hangargi there are 12 year olds tried for murder. You're just excusing her from any wrongdoing.

      I know but you are thinking to extreme of it as told even she realised it was wrong but it's a child's mind it was wrong and false under cyber crime as well, I don't know if it fell under that category back then things could beeb different but a person bullied definetly knows what and how it feels and to be alone I am going with feeling on this one knowing what could ne her mind at that age and thought process its solely my opinion and I stand by it we can agree to disagree

      Come on, you are deceived every day that you are on the internet with ads and with Facebook people who are there just to direct you to their cam girl sites. You are deceived every time someone tells you prostitution and porn is harmless. How many were deceived into believing cigarette smoking was harmless? There are over 400,000 that die from this deception every year. You have no idea about deceptions. Go preach on a different pulpit and ask your wife where she was the other night.

      I never made Jessica with intent to harm anyone. It was impulsive. I was backed into a corner and it was between breaking down and crying in front of everyone or defending myself. I wasn’t a fighter but also not the type to ball up and take a beating. Saying I had a best friend was the first thing i said in that split second. And when it worked it felt like my only protection.

      The girl in my story wasn’t the only girl that picked on me at school. She had friends but she was the ring leader. I didn’t go deep into it but they would gang up on me at times.

      Jessica was like this magical wand that made everything better. So I held onto it. There were boys who did try to get with her but I always turned them down. I never led anyone on.

      I didn’t share my story for empathy and I never said it was ok. It’s just my perspective and “why” I became a catfish.
