    (I'm not shure if i'm posting this in the right area or not...or should it be "friends snd family of LGBT?" This thread sounds more like it, so i'll put this here...)

    So, these past 3 weeks, i've been through...much. A lot more than i'm used to, but i'm it's practically over now except for one small bit, which is why i made this thread, but before i get to that, let me do some brief explaining...

    So, in december 2015, i made a thread talking about some stuff that had happened to me and a younger cousin, and how I (at the time) felt like this made me a pedo( I know better now, oh how one can change in a single month!) and i asked if anyone knew what i could do in my awkward situation. It got a couple pf replies. Some people said I should seek a councilor or something, ither said it was good that I realized that i had a problem. Anyways, and admin on here read some posts i made on EC, and thought that i was being physically abused( i'm not) and about 2 weeks ago, i got visted by a person from the children's aid, asking about the whole cousin thing, and if i was being abused. ( they found about the EC posts because some admin called them, and linked my account to an email and got my info from FB and stuff) I said yes to the first one, and no to the second, because it isn't true. Anyways, they called my mom and told her someone came to talk to me in school. When i got home, i told her what happened because she asked. She was really disappointed in me, and didn't know how she was going to tell the kids mom. Anyway, i found out the next week, that kid got interviewed by the police, and he said that i never touched in anyway he didn't like. So the case was closed. I asked my mom if the kids family and mom hates me, she no they forgive and know i was young and just made a mistake. I still feel kinda bad because of what happened, it's put me in a pretty bad mood for the past week. I can't find much energy to study for exams, or learn turkish( for fun). I guess i guess i still worry because what if my friends or teachers at school find pit about this, or know about this (secretly) and that changed their opinion of me, and i have a really good rep at my school, so yeah. I guess that's just paranoia though.

    Just needed to vent that backstory out, so that the rest of this post makes sense....

    Ok, on to the main point of this...

    So, back to the person from childrens aid. I told him he couldn't tell my parents about EC, because 1, i'm not out yet, and two if they find out, they might react badly about this ( also, i've posted a lot of quite personal things, so yeah, don't want them to see that...:icon_redf)
    He said that's ok, but he has to mention that they tracked me through "a website where teens go to get help" and that's what he told my mom when he came to visit(oh yeah, left that out, oops.) and now that the case is closed, my mom still wants to know the name of the website ( which is EC ) but i keep telling her that i forgot. But she doesn't believe me, she says i'm lying. ( my mom's actually REALLY GREAT at spotting at liar. No seriously,at this point in my life, i'm almost ready to accept that she has magical powers that make her a human lie detector, if some scientist runs at test on her and proves it :roflmao::roflmao:slight_smile:
    And, she keeps pressuring me to tell her, even though i don't want to and can't. Ahe says if i don't tell her she's gonna seize my phone for 3 months if i don't tell her. ( that bit almist hurt to write.) and now i dunno what to do!! Has anyone been in similiar situation? What did you do? I know it's technically morally wrong to lie to your parents, but this time it was kinda good lie, so yeah i dunno. Anyway, thanks for reading all the way to the end of this long ass rant, if you have any advice, please reply below, thanks in adavance!!!


    PS. My mom also keeps telling me (constantly) that i should watch out to not go on any "bad websites" ( (and by that she means porn) because i'm being "watched by the police" and being "tracked"
    This is making me extremely paranoid, and i'm slowly becoming afraid of using the internet, and i don't even feel that safe on EC since that incident, i feel like what she says is true, even though half of me things it's kinda ridiculous( who the heck has the time and energy to look at 14-year olds search history all day long 24/7/365 for a living?, i mean.) so, is there any truth to what she is saying , i mean?

    Well, you can go through your browsing history and delete anything you don't want to be seen. Additionally, if you have Google chrome you can open up an incognito tab by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N.

    I'll also add that you'd have to be looking at some really fucked up shit online for the police to get involved. Watching porn online is something that most people with internet access do.

    police aren't invovled with the porn, ( and no, eeewww i know what you mean by "fucked up shit" and no i would never watch that.)

    Also, does deleting your history actually delete it for ever?

    Is it really gone? Eh, not really, but it would be pretty damn difficult to recover, so for the purposes of hiding the history from your mom, it pretty much is gone.

    using mozilla private browsing or chrome incognito will not save any history, cookies or other browsing data to your computer(exception bookmarks and downloads(except download history)) however! your internet service provider and/or the network administrator (if you have network admin) has all the browsing history.

    I'm on safari too, and I've kept EC hidden from my computer-savvy dad for over a year.
    There's an option for "private browsing mode" which doesn't save your history, but if you're not using that, it does save all of your history and cookies, too.

    Ha, i use that already! So i guess i'm safe, except, i have EC as a bookmark. And safari has this stupid thing wre in puts all your bookmarks on display on the homepage. I've tried getting rid of that, but i don't know how. Do you know how to do it?

    You might want to delete the bookmark, because that seems like something that could easily give you away. I'm not sure what device you're using, but on my iPhone, I can go into the favorites tab and slide left to delete things saved there. Same thing if it's on your reading list.

    Tell you mother that you don't want to tell her which site you wrote to because you don't want her to go and see what other personal stuff you have written. If she still insists on the site tell her it's a private matter. End of discussion.

    In the future, use private browsing. I don't know if your mom knows that she can order the internet traffic from your house from the ISP but if she does, use a proxy server for surfing.

    It's a server that acts as a proxy between your IP address and the destination site's IP address. Instead of directing your traffic directly to EC you can direct the traffic to go to proxy server and then from there to EC. What your ISP logs will show then is that you have been to this proxy server but not to what sites you accessed through the proxy server.

    If were to go to school, what I would do is put EC on a filter before I leave. The account I use is like the guest account (which is protected by a password), I use the main account (also pasword protected) to set the filter. I also use the chrome tab thingy. I also have ways of telling if anyone been in my room as well but I won't get into that. Also, all passwords change weekly. May seem slightly extensive but effective.

    As long as you aren't as dumb as me and leave the tab open to EmptyClosets you'll be fine haha. But if you use an incognito Chrome browser anything you do will be invisible to your mom. If you want to make it absolutely impossible for stuff to be traced back to you you could use an IP blocker or VPN. That is a little overboard though since it would require someone hacking the VPN as well as the company running your browser to tie any porn watching to you.

    TIP:
    1. download another browser (like chrome or mozilla)
    2. cut the folder where you install the new browser and paste it to other folder(example D:files/dowload/blabla/balbla/blbalba) or simply right click to the folder General tab at the bottom check hidden then apply save (if you want to make it visible again simply go to where you hide it at the menu bar click organize>folder and search option>view>check show hidden files and folders>apply and you will see the folder again) just dont forget to delete any shorcut in your windows and in start menu. plus use its private browsing features. there you go you will have your private browsing.

    If you have Firefox use Private Browsing. If you have Chrome, use Incognito Mode. These don't track your browser history. Make sure to close down your browser when you're done.
