Okay, I'll say three things upfront: first, I'm using Google Translate, and this might be a very long-winded online post; second, I'm still a minor, and I really need advice about this situation.
I'll try to summarize as much as possible.
Okay, for almost a year now, I've had my group of friends, but we added two people we called "P" and "Z." "P" was 17 and "Z" was 14. These two had strange conversations that seemed almost like a couple's, which made us a little uneasy because of the three-year age difference during adolescence. We decided to remove them since they weren't even that close to the group.
But a ex friend started harassing "P," calling him a groomer when no one had ever asked to talk to him, and this caused a very awkward situation.
As time went on, "P" and "Z" started accusing our group of having many groomers (which is a lie because my friends are minors and went through horrible grooming situations).
Then "Z" accused an acquaintance of being a groomer, and a friend of this acquaintance went to ask "P" if there was proof of this alleged grooming. "P" simply said that "Z" only said it because she was very angry with this person and never provided any proof, but "P" still went along with it, calling him a groomer.
"P" and "Z" have also been mocking a friend of mine, calling him "transphobic" and "lesbian," even though he is a trans boy. Something I forgot to mention is that "P" and "Z" have a group where they make horrible jokes about c/////p and that "P" is a groomer.
And I've really been thinking about whether I should expose these people publicly, since they are relevant people in a community I belong to.
I have a 300-page document prepared; I just need to write the summary. But what's holding me back is that "P" and "Z" might harass me and leak my face, since they did it to someone else they called a groomer without any proof. I'm genuinely afraid of these people because they're influential on their social media and have connections to "famous" people.
Should I at least try to talk things out with them? Am I wrong for wanting to expose them? What's the most mature thing I could do in this situation? 😭 Please, someone help me because I've been thinking about this for the past two months, and I honestly don't know what to do.
