how do I help this person?

[Qwertyasdfg]

This person I don’t know keeps IMing me on AOL. I usually ignore it, but today I decided, for some reason, to just go along with it and mess with them. Immature? Yes.

Bear in mind I don’t know this person AT ALL. I’m fairly sure its a teenage girl. She seems very depressed, almost suicidal, but I’m no expert (just a teen myself.) Anyway, I’ll post the log of my conversation with this person. Hopefully some of the teeming million can give some advice on how I can help this person. I’m zepplin21. Slima 4c is the other person.

Slima 4c: I cant move I need something done to stop them
Slima 4c: all the porn that ive done, my grandfather told me that he got a mail from aol and they said that i was doing too much porn and they asked my grandfather for my age
Slima 4c: do you think he’s making this up?
Zepplin21: are you just fucking with me?
Slima 4c: NO!!
Slima 4c: why would i do that?!
Zepplin21: how old are you?
Slima 4c: 14
Zepplin21: i was joking about taht stuff about “last night” by the way

Slima 4c: yeah?
Zepplin21: i said “last night was great” or something like taht
Zepplin21: i was joking
Slima 4c: yes you did
Slima 4c: i know
Zepplin21: nothing like that went on
Zepplin21: k
Slima 4c: we were not out last night
Zepplin21: nope
Zepplin21: we certainly were now
Slima 4c: we were never out
Zepplin21: not*
Zepplin21: nope
Slima 4c: is my grandfather really right or he’s just saying that to make me feel scared?
Slima 4c: dont lie now
Zepplin21: AOL doesnt monitor your internet usage
Slima 4c: i know that
Zepplin21: if you looked at porn 24/7 they wouldnt know
Slima 4c: so how could he tell me that he got a letter from aol when aol never monitors you hes lying
Slima 4c: i asked him to show me the letter and he said he threw it away
Zepplin21: maybe its someone pretending to be AOL
Slima 4c: they wouldnt pretend to be aol and say that someone is looking at porn on this sn
Slima 4c: they would have to say something else
Zepplin21: yeah
Slima 4c: because aol never monitors you
Slima 4c: its a lie
Zepplin21: i heard a prank call once where some people pretended to be AOL, said the daughter was dling porn, and to delete it they had to type some stuff into the computer
Zepplin21: and what the stuff actualyl did was delete the whSlima 4c: and i asked him to show me the letter but he said he threw it away
Slima 4c: some kind of grandfather
Slima 4c: god, i hope he rots in hell
Slima 4c: i always get those im’s whenever i go into chat rooms
Zepplin21: yeah
Zepplin21: aol always does that kind of stuff
Zepplin21: well not aol
Zepplin21: but the people in the chat roomsole computer
Slima 4c: with people sending me porn sites or pretending to be aol and asking for my password or pretending to be aol and saying that something is wrong with their systems and to correct this, they need my address, phone # and stuff like that
Zepplin21: he probably got something like that
Zepplin21: and took it seriously
Slima 4c: and one time this guy imed me and asked for my address and stuff and then i didnt give it to him so another day i catch him online and IM him first he didnt know it was me but then he redognized the sn so then i said to him “But you could come to my house” and he said “yes you are right, i could” so later on i sned him some icons, some stars and some music symbols and he responds with “im a guy and i wouls like to kill your family”
Zepplin21: thats fucked up
Slima 4c: what if i gave it to him?
Slima 4c: would he really do it?
Zepplin21: doubt it
Slima 4c: so why did he say he’d do it?
Zepplin21: dunno, people just do
Slima 4c: just do what?
Zepplin21: say stuff like that

I’m talking to this person right now, so the quicker you respond, the better.

By posting this in IMHO or MPSIMS?

Younger people tend to be prone to exaggeration. I saw no indication of suicidal ideation… I personally would block this girl. She’ll find someone else, & I don’t think you can provide whatever she needs anyhow.

Bless you for trying, though!

Don’t know if you CAN help this person, but for what its worth the advice you gave - actually TALKING to someone - was the best thing to do. Someone close to Slima has to know what’s going on in their head.
