I know it was a silly thing too do but you've got too start somewhere and I'm sure you have all made your mistakes. 

It wasnt silly it was stupid (sorry) and yeah we all make mistakes but not where my safety or my identity is concerened.  those things are sacred

Juliet you are right to an extent, but at the same time...remember "you live, you learn". Everyone isnt going to come into this being a full blown mature adult. Think about. Back in the days when there wasnt any support forums, no websites, none of that...and when escorts needed to make ends, we just dived into it.

Thats how I did it. I wasnt thinking about whether I knew how to do it or not, I just did it because I needed and wanted to. True, I made quite a bit of mistakes and it wasnt until nearly a year later that I began to seek advice, but I survived and became better than ever. Even the most versed escort worker is going to make a mistake at one point. There was a post somewhere in SAAfe that stated, "Just when you think you have it all figured out, there's always a new client who teaches you that you dont". And its true.

Although all of that is true i think perhaps why this thread attracted so much attention was because Roxy started out by opening a thread asking for advice on how to do things, how to get going and how to advertise and how to stay safe (although she was vague about it) and also stated that she had done her research.  That advice was given and then she did the exact opposite.  Also there are a lot of women on this site with kids or neices etc the same age as her and frankly i would try and talk anyone that age out of doing it.  Can you imagine how bitter and synical you could become if you started this so young and took it to heart.  i did say COULD become, i'm not assuming its a given and i know it can happen at any age but we are mostly women around here and i think its natural to automatically want to protect someone her age.

Also the site is called SAAFE... it says it on the tin.  if you read everything this site has to offer in the way of advice on your safety when working but then still go out with the 'it wont happen to me, im going to ignore them all' attitude then you have to expect a bit of backlash. 

There are plenty of ladies on here who started without the aid of the internet or with the advice of saafe but it doesnt mean it was any good for all of them.  The resource is here now and the sooner ladies find it once choosing to escort the better.   and the sooner they use the advice and help the better also.


p,s also, if she is 18 would she even remember what life was like without the internet?  i barely do and im in my 30's   lol
