HELP! My pen pal is a pervert!!!

I had this pen pal...

He wrote to me several times and...

One day he sent me this picture of him, so because I didn't want to be impolite... I sent him this picture of me to him too.

Then he replied something like: "You body is beautiful."

I felt weird and uncomfortable...

Because who on earth would say that to a girl who he barely knew, and who is 7 years old younger than him?

(He "claimed" that he is 21, but who knows?)

I knew that I had to be careful, but I also wonder whether I am overreacting...

So I decided to ask for advice

I went on America Yahoo! Answers and I got so many responds...

Some said he was a pervert, and others said he was a pedophile and a bastard.

They said he was just using me and I shouldn't be associated with this person.

I was somehow...Scared... Although I know I was safe here in my home, I was still haunted...

I got restless that night, my stomach clenched with fear and uncertain, my brain buzzing and chaotic. I felt hot all over and was sweating uncontrollably.

I was haunted by that event so badly... I spent a long time getting over it, and tried to convince myself that it was no big deal.

Then today something awful happened.

He sent me 2 attached files.

Of him. Topless, wearing only shorts. Showing his naked belly- of serious obesity. It was not a photo of someone who is 21. I spammed the email and deleted him from my contact list without clicking open the second photo of his.

I felt so disgusted of the view of it that I wanted to throw up right at the spot.

I don't want to describe but I just can't help it...

THAT view of him, hairy all over, made me puke.

Now I am sure I have a pervert, a pedophile AND a bastard as a pen pal. He is these mentioned things altogether.
I told Mom, and so after Mom came back from work, she checked it in the Spam. Later, she came upstairs to my room. I was studying and she said, "he is horrid. Remove him from your contact list immediately."  She was pale. Both of us were.
Believe me, it was deadly hard to recover from this kind of shock.
What was more, half way through my door, Mom was screaming, "he is morbid!!! He had his genitals sticking out in the second photo!"
I was relieved that I didn't see the second photo. Thank God.

I don't know what to do. My stomach hurts so badly because of the sickening photo. The anguish and the uneasiness filling my body are unbearable.

He is not going to do anything to me. I would be okay. I could manage. A dozen of people might have came across this kind of situation. It is not just me.

I had threw all his emails into Spam.

I am never going to reply. Never. Ever.

But no matter how hard I try, I still feel nervous. I can't concentrate.

I should be more careful. It was all my own fault. How could I be so stupid and naive?

And my dearest friends, do me a favor okay?

Be careful and stay alert when you are using the Internet, I really don't want you to end up as messed up as I am.
I know I sound like your mom (or your grandma.)

Yet, it is no doubt a dangerous place, and I have to warn you.

 

Best Regards,
