I don't mean to sound condescending at all but when you're that age I don't think you think through just what could potentially happen in situations like this. How many stories have we heard about young girls being blackmailed after sending dodgy pictures to people online, or even people committing suicide when pictures have been shared online etc

Yeah that's true, and it's not just about age but general inexperience in using dating apps. I've always considered myself to be sensible but I know I've made some very un-sensible decisions using apps like that You can be sensible generally in life but if you don't know what your doing when it comes to meeting strangers and app dating is new to you etc then it's easy to get carried away and make bad choices.
