hello everyone ~ i'm izzy, a 23 year-old creative from nyc living in la. i'm wildly inconsistent with uploads BUT i promise you'll enjoy the times i actually do post
sorry but i don't get it, young boys talk to young girls, they ask for their numbers, its just how dating works! how is it one 15 year old can be charged as an adult when play wrestling with another kid and accidentally killing him, he wasn't considered young an naive, he was considered an adult that was a stone cold killer, and yet another 15 year old kid, a dumb 15 year old girl, who's parents weren't on the ball enough to teach her not to talk to strangers, or not to give out her phone number to strangers (which all people are, stangers that is, until we say hi, i'm so an so, its how people meet, at least that was how it worked for me growing up), an this is somehow a child abduction threat, or human trafficking scare, or a "grooming situation" because she was too dumb to recognize it when an older boy is asking for her number... cmon, this is idiocracy... a boy she said she thought was 17, which wouldn't make anything he did wrong at all... blame her parents for raising a naive not so bright sheltered girl... the world is a crazy place and not for the weak, timid, or stupid people... act accordingly
You are NOT ugly. The complete opposite--you are a very pretty young lady. The people who accosted you are creeps who inwardly feel awful about themselves and project all of their self-disgust onto those they are actually jealous of - which on that unfortunate day included you. I was bullied as a kid and dedicated my life to standing up to nonsense - they aren't worth your time. I live in Los Angeles, where people are getting more and more disrespectful. But we don't let those clowns get us down!
You are not ugly you’re beautiful. Teens are just assholes. I had this happen to me on the train yesterday. I was sitting minding my business with my headphones on and then this group of teenagers came and one of them kept getting closer to me when the train wasn’t crowded. He had a bag and he kept hitting me with the his bag I just ignored it because these were 4 big teenagers and I was scared they would physically hurt me. Of course no one on that train said anything they never do. I finally reached my stop and one of them wouldn’t move it felt like he was trying to hold me back and said to his friend to say sorry and he said no. I got out of the train but I was so scared. Because I’m not physically attractive I feel I always get harassed especially by men. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. It’s definitely not something I wish on anyone.
It's frustrating honestly, I don't know who raised these kids for real. I'm sorry you also had to experience that, like you said it's not something I'd wish on anyone either :(
I'm sad that you haved passed for this...but hey, look at you now! You're great, you surpassed that, and now you shared it and maybe this video helped a lot of people! Just remember that, because all fo that, proves how great, brave and strong you are!
This comment made my day, thank you so much for this 🥹 I never expected this video to get as much views as it has, and even after releasing it years ago I still get comments about how this helped people understand their own experiences as well. I’ve been wanting to get back into making videos on a regular basis again, so much has happened since I filmed this and I think others would be able to learn more from my perspectives 😄
Grooming is not just with a minor. It happens in cases of sexual trafficking, financial theft, sexual assault, terrorism, extortion and just straight “relationships” that end up psychologically abusive.
Most sellers might not follow ethical practices, so it's important to be cautious when buying. There have been many concerns about labor practices in most factories that produce goods sold on AliExpress, including the exploitation of children.
You’re very right, that’s why I try not to buy from aliexpress too much. In fact, i haven’t purchased anything else from there since then (I’ve generally on a no-buy when it comes to getting new clothes, leaning towards thrifting and secondhand fashion :D )
Don’t buy from their website. They charge your CC, hold your order for 3 weeks and then cancel it on you stating they couldn’t verify the credit card information. Meanwhile you give them everything they ask.
This is late but it must be very brave for u to share this story. I was also groomed when I was 15 by someone who was 23. Unfortunately it led to terrible things. He blackmailed me into sending nudes. At least I learned from this experience.
It's never too late to talk about things like this, it's something that continues to be relevant even today unfortunately :/ I'm so sorry you experienced that, but I'm glad that at least you were able to realize it was a bad situation and know to avoid it next time. Many others are unknowingly groomed on a daily basis, it's sad to see and I hope that sharing my story would prevent even just one person from making this mistake.
I've come to realize that ugliness and beauty truly lie within the soul, and that outward appearances are just that - outward. People who treat others terrible purely because of looks are ugly deep down inside, but I'm happy that I'm now in a mental space where I can fully appreciate the beauty of my essence rather than hyperfixating on how I look. I hope that you can discover the same within yourself as well, confidence and appreciation of yourself is definitely the best asset you could ever have.
You’re the sweetest! I’m so happy you’ve stuck around until now 🥹 you were one of my first friends I made on RU-vid, if you ever decide to start posting again I’m so ready to watch 🫶🏼
6:26 wow, so cool that you got to walk the runway!! I'm glad being in LA is working out for you. Nice that you get to work with those in the Philippines. Hope there are more opportunities for you after April!
I am fifteen, just met a boy we got along. He asked for my photos, then he blocked me. I am scared, I don’t know what to do, and I can’t tell my mother.
Firstly, I’m honored that you trust me enough to share this, it’s not easy to talk about such a potentially scary experience. I sure hope it wasn’t any kind of suggestive photos :( but even so, him asking for any kind of pics from you and then blocking is pretty suspicious. From my experience when that’s happened to me, nothing really happened but it still did make me feel anxious because who knows what they would do with those pictures :/ you’ll probably be fine, but if you need the emotional support then it’s good to tell a trusted adult/friend (doesn’t have to be your parents, just someone you feel comfortable sharing that with). Even if that’s me, my messages are always open :) Hoping for the best case scenario in your situation, please stay safe and take care of yourself 🥺
Never be afraid to go and speak to your parents at your age (15) your parents want only the best for you. even if they get angry with you they will be pleased that you put your trust in them and you will be building a closer bond with them. Sorry to say there are a lot of sick and deprived people in this world and it is increasing at an alarming rate.
I don’t know if any other men have commented this yet, but I think he was most likely doing Pick Up Artists or trying to Run Game. People on RU-vid make video on how to approach random women in public.
I see, I’ve heard of that but it’s definitely odd that someone of his age (at the time) would have tried that on a clearly underage girl 😅 regardless of the existence of that type of content, it’s strange for sure
Hey! I can definitely sell it to you, but I would need to charge for shipping (around $30 USD) as well 😅 if you don’t mind, then I would be happy to ship it!
