Need advice! My 11 year old niece has been staying the night for the past few nights. She has this tablet she plays on…

@taradee17 okay cool 😊

@shay2beautiful i said that as well so we're on the same page

@taradee17 well what I'm saying is that isn't the case for everyone

@shay2beautiful well actually it can be a symptom. Ive worked with many psychiatrists specializing in childhood sexual abuse

I started masturbating when I was 11. It is normal. She just needs to know the difference between porn and a normal relationship. It will probably be super embarrassing for her

@taradee17 it's definitely not a symptom of sexual abuse she's 11 and almost in her teen years. I was 11 when I started being curious about porn and sex. Some kids figure things out sooner😒

I would only tell the parents. It's no one else's business but theirs.

Thats a symptom of sexual abuse. At such a young age epically being a girl being intrested in those things. Children who are sexually abused it can trigger hormones and desieres like that, sad to say. And yes they shame themselves for having those wants and feelings so dont shame her please. I'm not saying that happened to her but that is a big red flag.

Also try to keep it as private as possible. My family made fun of me for it and it really damaged things for me.

Whatever you do, do not shame her about it. I was 11 when I started looking at porn. It's not hurting anyone and some kids just get into that stuff and have those feelings early on. It can be shocking, but do not let anyone make her feel bad for it.

That's about the age I was curious about porn. I would let her parents handle it and I would only tell them cause it's not a family thing it's kinda personal if you plan to confront her try to explain the difference between porn and a healthy relationship as well (not sure what she's looked at) she's entering teen years and you'd rather her safe. Hope it works out

Yeah tell her parents

Yeah tell her parents
