Kinda sick of seeing parents talk about how their kids are "difficult" or "bad" for hiding things when they get judgemental and rude over every little change that happens. Might just be because I'm a teen, but if I trust someone then I tell them everything, doesn't matter if they're a family member or close friend. I only shut down and immediately lie about decisions or hide parts of myself when I feel like the first thing you'll do is be a dick or get mad at me.

Most of my peers are basically the same, the ones who have good relationships with their parents will make time to gossip or talk about decisions, while teens like me or my friends who are distant from their parents usually hover around a subject but lie and hide whenever it gets noticed. A ton of my friends have tattoos behind they're parents back, a lot of them drink/smoke or even hide mental struggles or life changing decisions. Not saying parents should let they're 12 year old get a tattoo, that's not ideal, but what I am saying is that maybe if the parent didn't talk so harmfully about tattoos and explained it in a neutral light instead of a negative one, maybe you're 12 year old wouldn't get a potentially harmful tattoo.

(Context I'm not 12, a tad older but I know 2-3 12 year olds who brag about drinking and getting tattoos. I drank at 12 too but that's kinda for another day.)

So, I work a seasonal job that is focused around kids and tweens. It's just a week over the summer and pays better than me doing nothing all day. When I went for my first week I meat this person who we will call Sheri and this guy who we will call jake. Sheri was 19 now 20 and jake was 14 now 15. Well, last year Sheri told me that she was desperate for a new boyfriend, I didn't think much of this because ykw that's fair.

The problem is that once I said "ykw get it girl" she told me that jake was kinda cute. When I replied "in a younger brother way" she clarified that she thought he was cute but not in the younger sibling way and that he was her "type." She started ignoring me overall to hangout with him and another guy, she would literally ditch me when I needed help with a kid who was severely autistic. She blamed me for not asking her then tried to shove me out of helping anyone for the rest of that week. So, I decided to unfollow her on Instagram and just not talk once the job was over.

WELL.... About 9 months later she responded to a post about me laying on my stomach with some "we should lay together next (job)" I was polite but didn't want to drag out the conversation, UNTIL, she told me that she picked up jake (who was more than an hour away) to take him away from his family and how she was mad that he moved on. "Cause he cycles though girlfriends like he does red bulls" in her words. SO SHE KIDNAPPED A 14 YEAR OLD..... AND IDK WHAT TO DO NOW CAUSE IK ITS BEST TO REPORT IT BUT IVE TOLD LITERALLY EVERY ADULT IN MY LIFE. is there some sort of hotline I can call?

Tldr: my 19 year old coworker helped a 14 year old other coworker runaway and got mad when he got a girlfriend and moved out. The 19 year old coworker also called him her type and cute.
