I have a friend who says he groomed someone. That’s because the other person said he did. My friend believed it to be true because it was his best friend who said such a thing. He sent me an unbelievable amount of screenshots, and I don’t believe he groomed the other person. This friend has never lied to me, that’s why I questioned him. Watching this video, I noticed: my friend did not do a single one of these. Him and his friend didn’t even talk all day, at most maybe 5 minutes at a time, 4-5 times a day (it was over discord, and she never wanted to call him. The only time they had hour long talks was when she was mad at him. He always told her to tell him if he did anything wrong, and she always said no. Even if it was something small, he’d apologize. Years into their friendship, she said he groomed her, and he just accepted it. Again, this guy’s never lied to me. Rereading everything he sent and spoke (we must have called for maybe 4 hours just talking that one night, the only thing I noticed was he had a hard time picking up when she wanted to stop talking, so he’d keep going on about x subject. One day, she said it was so draining to be with him. It’s been almost 2 years He’s in alot better of a mindset, and has turned his life around, but I don’t believe he groomed her because he did ask for her approval for many things. I’m not trying to be vague, I just dont want this comment to be super absurdly long. I personally believe he was accused and just accepted it (until me and a couple of his other friends) told him he didn’t groom. The other person, I can only imagine her friends were on her side, but I was never friends with her to begin with, so I dont know her thoughts. On one hand, I am only getting one side of the story. On the other, again there was an absurd amount of screenshots, and I’m a slow reader, but it means I did see the talks they both had

There’s one misrepresentation in this video. According to psychiatrist, including Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a lead expert on narcissism, and law enforcement, grooming can also be done to adults. This video is really important because it focuses on grooming on children as an issue but it should say that grooming could be done on anyone, but the focus today would be on what grooming looks like with children. The incomplete definition set up adults who are victims of grooming to be invalidated.
That being said, it would also be cool if you guys could do a video on what it looks like for adult victims.

I think it's perfectly fine to have adults for friends if you're a kid, especially if they're helpful and supportive. But if there's one that starts acting like this, and you're either the parent or one of the more responsible adult friends seeing these behaviors, know what to say and who to call. Prioritize the safety of that child, even if they get mad at you for taking away their creepy friend.

I would have a few things to say regarding objecting to the way certain people throw the term groomer around for the sole sake of denigrating a certain other demographic of people. But other than just simply saying it because I think it needs to be said, and I would imagine most of you know what I'm getting at. That's as far as I'll go with it otherwise and leave at that.

Thank you for making a video covering this topic, especially now when poor, younger individuals are becoming more and more victimised to grooming. I have friends who weren’t as lucky to avoid such awful things happening to them from overpowering adults in their childhoods, so hopefully this will help the children of today stay safe. Take care out there, youngens.

This video misses a major point. Groomers test their victoms vulnerabilities.
If they want to get you to steal for them, they will have you commit a small act. If the response is excitement, the groomer has found a suitable target and will move forward, if the target freaks, the target isn't willimg.

Important to note: grooming could also reffer to more wholesome stuff in the animal kingdom.
Also i have heared of grooming as in grooming a son to take over the family business
The grooming mentioned in this video reffers specifically to child predators, may their souls perish from this world

This is all good information, but I think it's worth pointing out that in cases where a young person has seriously oppressive parents, and any person trying to be helpful might hit a few of those checkmarks incidentally.

You act more mature compare to kids your age.
It's sad for the fact that alot of people are being groomed without noticing it. Mostly minors, because they want to shale their young minds, litle by little.

Manipulation is neither good or bad, it's a tool, Parents manipulate children all the time generally into becoming fine adults, grooming isn't good or bad either, depends on the person intentions

I was 14 and vented way too hard to someone, wish I knew what I was getting into before it went down hill. I just pray no one gets hurt like this!
