Bio
Disclaimer:
Despite still having my listener title I’m currently not taking 1-1 chats with members due to some very important, slightly declining health issues on top of also wanting to take on some different roles here at 7 Cups! I’m still gonna be here I’m just gonna be hosting discussions (among other things also) instead. Members please know that even though I cannot be your listener, it doesn't mean that you’re being neglected as we have many sweet, kind, compassionate, active listeners here at 7 Cups who are way more than ready to support you through whatever struggle you're going through at the moment! You can find one of these amazing people that I mentioned that’ll fit your personal needs/preferences (especially when you use the filter option) here! Thank you so much for understanding, and I hope you all get the much needed/deserved support that you could ever possibly need!!! 😁💖

About Me:
Hi everyone I’m Arianna an 18 year old inactive ATL (Adult-Teen-Listener) who just earned her high school diploma while being devoted to both 7 Cups, and cousinhood every single day! I will also be a college student majoring in the topic of Child Development with the goal of earning my transfer appropriate associates degree at my local community college within 3 years at the most starting in the Fall semester of 2020! Furthermore even though my “legal” name is Arianna please feel free to call me Ari or Aria if you wish, heck at this point I'll even accept Pink as a nickname haha! Now to help get you guys accustomed to me here’s a few fun facts about me when I’m not here volunteering. #1. I’m the second to eldest cousin of about 12 children so when I’m not here I’m often watching, snuggling with, or reading a book to a child. #2. I take my education very seriously to the point where I’m often spending about 12 hours at a time on homework which knowing me I'll most likely be continuing in college. #3. Oftentimes when I’m free from all of my responsibilities you can find me curled up with some book in the corner because I love reading so much. And finally #4. I love to watch YouTube in my spare time especially family vlogs. Welp that’s just a little bit about me so thank you guys so much for checking out my profile, and I hope to see you all around either through my discussions, or even somewhere else around the site! I hope you guys have an amazing day/night, and I guess bye for now!!! 👋🏼💜

My Roles:
Listener (Inactive)
After 2 years of being an active listener both in the long/short term, along with important changes in my health heading towards the more negative side of things, I decided to step back in this role for at least right now, and let our other amazing listeners handle 1-1 chats for the time being. Now I apologize for any inconvenience that this may bring, but I hope you all can understand that this time my health truly has to come first, or I unfortunately may not be able to be around here at all if I were to get really sick due to self-neglect.
Safety & Knowledge Sub-Community Support Session Leader
I volunteer in this lovely community by hosting safety discussions on the teen side, while also sometimes training new potential Support Session Leaders for our Sub-Community! If you would like to learn more about safety please join my mostly solo (unless I'm training someone which I'll specify those changes down below when needed) weekly discussions every Sunday @ 10:30 P.M. ET within the Teen Side Safety & Knowledge room, or click here.
Teen Safety Team Leader
This is a newer role offered to teen listeners that I am very proud to run, and it's also offered from the Safety & Knowledge Sub-Community! What we basically do is create posts to provide our lovely teen community with up to date information on safety both online, and in general from a teenager’s perspective with the idea in mind that they'll hopefully listen better to these recommendations from someone around their own age versus just an adult. Once team members get their posts approved by either myself (AriannaPink), or our main 7 Cups manager @Heather225, they (TST team members) will then take turns every two weeks releasing our posts as threads to you guys over at the Teen Safety Subforum! If you are a teen listener with an interest in teen safety, and would like to look into joining our team please feel free to click here. Also if you are interested in joining in my latest thread post please feel free to click here as well! 😁

My Accomplishments:
Verified Listener
I completed a mock chat to ensure that I am a high quality listener, and am now formally recognized by this very lovely site for that fact!
Internship Graduate
I participated in the 7 Cups internship program for 10 weeks (Starting April of 2019 - Ending June of 2019), where I passed all the requirements that were set for interns at my time of internship in those weeks which in my case at least also included me providing at least 90 hours of Active Listening directly to the 7 Cups Community!

Continual & Upcoming Support Sessions:
Teen Safety Discussions - Every Sunday - @ 10:30 P.M. ET to 11:30 P.M. ET

(Teen Safety) Member Safety Scenarios *Part 2* Discussion with @sisterdj - Sunday, June 28th 2020 - @ 10:30 P.M. ET to 11:30 P.M. ET

How Does 7 Cups Keep Teens Safe?
Safety & Knowledge at 7 Cups / by AriannaPink
Last post
 February 12th, 2020
...See more Hi everyone its @AriannaPink [https://www.7cups.com/@AriannaPink] (Arianna or Ari) back with another topic for you! Without further ado lets get started, and I hope you enjoy it!!! 😁💗... ********************************************************************************************************************************************* According to my listener 7 Cups home screen as of right now our statistics state that in this past week we have obtained 533 referrals, and have had 54,310 private 1-1 conversations between a member & a listener. Also last week we had 867 referrals, and 88,851 private 1-1 conversations. If you add those numbers up it means that over the past week and a half (considering this post is being written on a Wednesday) we have had about 1,400 referrals, and also about 143,165 private 1-1 conversations between a member & a listener. Im sure youre wondering why Im spewing numbers at you all especially those of you teens like me who cant stand math from the beginning! The reason why is because I want you guys to soak this information in so you can think of the amount of people we must have as a whole if these statistics are only from the last week & a half, and then also think of the responsibility required to make sure every person on this platform is safe no matter what. I know not all the rules are fun, and that some of you think theyre just to control us. However I promise thats not the case so as we get further in todays topic please try to keep an open mind. Note: You guys are allowed to have an opinion (thats why anyone can post to a thread), and I dont care if it differs from mine just as long as whatever you have to say is said respectfully. Other than that lets have a conversation! 😁 Now without further ado lets get started on todays topic How Does 7 Cups Keep Teens Safe?!!! 👏🏼... ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #1: Efforts 7 Cups makes in keeping all of us safe #1. They enforce guidelines, and expect us to follow them. Guidelines are basically rules, and while we do have a lot of them they exist for good reasons! If you would like to learn more about the specifics regarding guidelines here at 7 Cups I would recommend reading @SnailPurple [https://www.7cups.com/@SnailPurple]s upcoming post from the Teen Safety Team coming out 02/23/2020 as its a great read with a lot of important information, and clickable links! 😁👍🏼… #2. We have people you can report Safety issues to such as Forum Teen Stars [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=201] if you notice a problem in the forums, the Safety Patrol [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=405] if you notice an inappropriate profile (or use their newly created form here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SafetyKnowledgeat7Cups_181/SafetyPatrolTeam_1685/NewSafetyPatrolFlaggingForm_211978/] if youd prefer to report the issue yourself), typically Moderators [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/?badge=139] are usually in the rooms so they typically see & tackle issues in our Group Support Rooms firsthand. However if theres an issue in a room with no moderator currently you can report the issue, and get assistance with the problem by using this form! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezz84Utm8PLNAjKcBJH4W5HXD_8NAfuOQm01Xe3IaqrQnObg/viewform] Lastly if all else fails we have some amazing managers that run certain parts of 7 Cups right now that can help if it ever comes to needing them. First on that list is @Heather225 [https://www.7cups.com/@Heather225] they currently run the adult side/most of 7 Cups, however they also used to be our Safety Coordinator so they are very knowledgeable in that area, and don't really mind helping out. Next is @Hope [https://www.7cups.com/@Hope], and they are not only our teen manager, but they also are in charge of the internship program here at 7 Cups so they certainly have some experience here as well, and may know some more teen appropriate tricks in solving safety issues… Last but certainly not least is @ASilentObserver [https://www.7cups.com/@ASilentObserver] (Obs)! Obs is our group support manager, and they are doing an excellent job in making sure that the right guidelines, and things are in place to make sure we remain safe in the group support rooms! Theyre also very kind so if you ever have an issue in group support please dont be afraid to reach out to them if you need to! 💗… P.S. not everyone in certain roles may be a teen, or an ATL so please keep that in mind when you look for someone to help you, especially someone in either the Moderator role, or someone from the Safety Patrol Team. Thank you so much in advance for your cooperation!!! 😁💗👏🏼... #3. We also have other resources to report safety related issues (among other things) in the form of email addresses, and forms that dont require you to have to PM anybody. Just to name a few first off we have a community email address which is community@7cups.com & this is a great resource to use if you need to provide screenshots when making a report! Next if youre a member thats having an issue with a listener theres so many ways to alert someone that theres a problem. You can leave listeners a review (yes each review especially the low rated ones are thoroughly looked into!), you can block them which in turn reports the listener as well for whatever action you chose (Warning: Please dont jump to this option right away unless theyre breaking a rule, or you truly feel in danger. Please do your best to practice verbal conflict resolution first, thank you!), or if youre a listener having issues with another listener you are more than welcome to use our L-L report form by clicking here! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSco9sGAiqevQR4wBqEiy0uyC6p7fg_lVsK6LarWfloGEBqo7Q/viewform] For access to our complete list of forms please click here, [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SafetyKnowledgeat7Cups_181/7CupsSafetyToolsReportFormsMore_1371/ForumFormsFileFFFAlistofalltheformsyoumightneed_59702/1/] and if youd like to learn more about the reporting process please go to my very first Teen Safety Team post ever by clicking here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SafetyKnowledgeat7Cups_181/TeenSafety_1677/TeenSafetyReporting_211536/] or follow up with @SnailPurple [https://www.7cups.com/@SnailPurple]s post that is coming out in two weeks on 02/23/2020! 😁... ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #2: How we can help 7 Cups keep ourselves safe #1. We can follow each rule, guideline, and protocol. I know thats not always very fun but rules are made for a reason, and all of your guys safety matters! 💗… #2. We can be cautious about what personal information we give people. For example people know my first name, and the state I live in however they do not know my last name, or the city I live in so thats how I personally like to protect my own personal identity here at 7 Cups! #3. We can avoid conflict with other members or listeners in the group support rooms by not engaging in any active, ongoing conflict & letting only moderators handle situations like that, that arise. Once again if you need to page an on call moderator you may do so by using this form! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezz84Utm8PLNAjKcBJH4W5HXD_8NAfuOQm01Xe3IaqrQnObg/viewform] #4. If we see someone breaking a rule, or theyre making us feel uncomfortable we can report their actions to both protect ourselves, and others. #5. Most importantly we can all do our best to both respect each other, and each others own individuality. Now Im not saying we all have to like each others opinions all of the time as were all individual, and unique thats realistically not gonna happen, and I dont expect it to either. However what I do expect is for the situation to be discussed respectfully even if you have to agree to disagree to avoid conflict with one another 🙂... ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #3: Concluding Questions #1. What do you think of todays topic? #2. Did you learn anything from reading todays topic? If so what? #3. Is there anything youd personally add that I did not include? If so what? Team Taglist: @AriannaPink [https://www.7cups.com/@AriannaPink] @Heather225 [https://www.7cups.com/@Heather225] @RebekahRebel [https://www.7cups.com/@RebekahRebel] @SnailPurple [https://www.7cups.com/@SnailPurple] P.S. Thank you so much to https://giphy.com [https://giphy.com/] for these amazing GIFs I used in todays thread!!! 😁👏🏼…
Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in: Sunday, December 15th 2019
Trauma Support / by AriannaPink
Last post
 December 30th, 2019
...See more Merry December my amazing fellow Trauma Sub-Community participants!!! It is I @AriannaPink (Arianna, Ari, or Aria) back with another check-in for you guys!!! Now as a heads up this particular check-in will not be like my usual ones, and this is because instead of introducing our new traditions that @betterchoices (thank you so much again choices I really hope you like these plans that Im setting into motion starting next year! 💚) kindly brainstormed for us now in the month of December Im going to wait for the first Wednesday in January as kind of like a new thoughts for the new year type thing. Ill go more into detail about all these things in a minute, but first before we begin there is a few things I wanted to mention. First of all I wanted to state that no Sundays are not my new day Ill still generally have responsibility for Wednesdays, its just for this week I was having a hard time health wise so @PeppermintStar0912 was kind enough to switch days with me just for this week! (Btw Peppermint if youre reading this thank you so, so much again for helping me out I really do appreciate it so much!!! 💚). Second of all I wanted to announce that from very late tonight/very early Monday morning I will be going on a self care break until the very beginning of January. Now as I have not prepared any check-ins this time around I dont know whats gonna happen to Wednesdays check-ins in my absence, but if anyone would like to take them over until I return you can go ahead I really dont mind! 💚… Lastly third of all if you missed last weeks check-in, and would like to tune in on what story was given, and what we last discussed please feel free to click here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaSupport_60/TraumaSupportCheckins_1095/TraumaticExperiencesCommunityDailyCheckinWednesdayDecember4th2019_213466/] Now that all of this information is out of the way lets move on to the updates for the New Year!!! ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Updates Section: #1. Over this year the stories/resources I choose will start to drift away from just the domestic abuse topic, and start to include other aspects of trauma to hopefully help everybody feel acknowledged in some way. As I dont have many resources yet this will be a gradual change as in we will start out with the topics sexual assault, and child abuse, and then as I find more resources Ill include those topics as well! Thank you so much in advance for your patience during this time, it means a lot!!! 💚… #2. While at this time I will keep my story based questions up as they help me know how you guys are handling each story, I am definitely willing/wanting to add some sort of fun or educational activity for you guys to do at the end of each check-in. Now I dont know what thisll be or look like yet, however I know whatever it ends up being should be pretty cool so keep an eye out for that sometime in the month of January! 😁… ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Questions Section: #1. How do you like these plans? #2. Is there anything in these plans that you would change or add? #3. Do you have any ideas on what our end of check-in activity should be? #4. Lastly if you celebrate what are your plans for Christmas this year? Heres a special thanks from me to you for letting me come hang out with you guys on this fine Sunday, day! 😁… I hope you all have a lovely December, a merry Christmas, and a fantastic end to 2019! Ill be back New Years Day!!!

Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in: Wednesday, December 4th 2019
Trauma Support / by AriannaPink
Last post
 December 5th, 2019
...See more Hey my lovely Trauma Sub-Community participants it is I @AriannaPink [https://www.7cups.com/@AriannaPink] (Arianna, Ari, or Aria) back with another check-in for you guys, and for this week we will be mixing things up a bit as I seriously need your guys help! (Let me explain). Before I begin explaining what I mean though I just wanted to say that if you missed last weeks check-in, and would like to tune in on what story was given, and what we last discussed please feel free to click here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/TraumaSupportCheckins_1095/TraumaticExperiencesCommunityDailyCheckinWednesdayNovember27th2019_213000/1/#2139390] Anyways as most of you should know ever since I started doing these check-ins the main event has always been the Domestic Abuse stories from the special resource (https://www.thehotline.org [https://www.thehotline.org/]) that I have been using. While thats been great, and most of you have seemed to enjoy these inspirational stories Im sad to say that this specific resource does not have many stories on their site, and after last weeks check-in I have used every single one they do have up, which means that starting this week I do not have a story for you guys. Now luckily as I certainly do not want to end our tradition I did some research, and I found some other resources that have stories as well! This is where I need your guys help though because these stories will be kind of different as these arent Domestic Abuse stories at least not directly. These stories are more in the Trauma as a whole spectrum as one resource deals with child abuse (in both genders), while the other resource deals with sexual assault (in both genders). I am very excited to have these resources be some options for you guys because unlike the last resource which included basically only female based stories, these options do include a more diverse range of stories which is definitely more realistic as we know abuse can happen to anyone. The reason why I need your guys help is I have no idea which resource I want to use, and ultimately these check-ins are for you guys so your opinions, and ideas will matter the most to me as this decision is made. So anyways my question for you guys is what do you want to see in my check-ins next? Now a few pre planned options I was thinking of are either A we could go down the child abuse stories route, B we could go down the sexual assault stories route, or C I wouldnt even mind combining the two and alternating the topics every week if thats what you guys wanted! Also keep in mind that just because I have proposed these ideas of my own to you guys doesnt mean you guys cant put your own ideas out there. In fact if you have any ideas on what I should do regarding future check-ins please do share your ideas down below as I honestly wanna treat this weeks check-in as a big brainstorming session between us all! 😁👍🏼… Well since theres no story for this week I believe thats about it so lets move onto our 3 signature check-in questions starting with the main check-in question, and then we should be finished for this week!!! Main Check-In Question: How are you doing today overall? #1. Out of the options I mentioned above which would you prefer to see happen? #2. Do you have any ideas of your own for the next theme of my check-ins? If you do please mention them down below! 😁⬇️… As a little thank you in advance for your guys input, and individual ideas I chose this specific GIF to be this weeks special GIF as I know that if we all work together we can truly combine all of our ideas into something beautiful together! 😁❤️... P.S. Heres a hint to what Im starting up starting in next weeks check-in! I am so excited, comment your guesses down below! 🎅🏻😆☃️...

How Teens Can Help Fellow Teens Keep Safe
Safety & Knowledge at 7 Cups / by AriannaPink
Last post
 December 4th, 2019
...See more Hi Teen 7 Cups Community it is I @AriannaPink [https://www.7cups.com/@AriannaPink] from the Teen Safety Team back with a whole brand new topic for you guys!!! Before we get started though I just wanted to say that in honor of Christmas coming up this month todays topic thread will be decorated in a very Christmas like theme! I hope you guys enjoy the decor, have an amazing Sunday, a very merry Christmas (if you celebrate), and as I wont be posting here again until January 12th I wish you guys a very happy, and safe New Year as well!!! 😁🎅🏻☃️2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣... Now without further ado lets get started with todays topic after just a couple of cute GIFs I wanted to share! 😁👍🏼... #1 I hope you guys truly had an amazing Sunday! ⬇️... And #2 I hope you all have a terrific holiday season! Please stay safe out there!!! 💚💚💚... Now onto todays topic!!! 😁... ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Every day in society you see teens hanging out, and it doesnt matter whether its just a pair of best friends, or a big group of teens. It also doesnt matter whether theyre at the mall, the movie theater, in one of their friends houses, in the comfort of their own homes, or even here at 7 Cups [https://www.7cups.com/] they are hanging out regardless. We (members of the Teen Safety Team) know this because in a lot of ways (including age) we are a lot like you guys, and thats why Im here. Hey everyone Im Arianna and Im here to give you guys 5 of my top favorite tips on how to help your buddies stay safe in this sometimes dangerous world! After this I will be asking you guys a few questions to kind of wrap up todays topic, but otherwise keep reading to get this whole thing started! 😁👍🏼… ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #1: Tips #1. If a friend comes to you clearly shaken up take a moment to listen to whatever is bothering them because you never know if its something that could have them be in danger. Who knows you might save a life 🤷🏻‍♀️. #2. While we at 7 Cups dont approve of underage drinking realistically we know it happens. So if you see a buddy drunk absolutely do not let them drive even if you have to take their keys away, and risk them being mad at you as having a mad friend is a lot better than having a dead friend. #3. If you see a friend getting hurt in real life please reach out to a trusted adult. It doesnt matter whether its a parent, a teacher, or even your local law enforcement just please reach out to someone! Your friend will be a lot safer if you do. #4. If you see a friend getting harassed here at 7 Cups please encourage them to make a report, but dont stay quiet yourself either. There are multiple ways to report a troubling person here such as #1. Reaching out to a moderator if the problem took place in a group support room setting. #2. If theres a serious situation going on in a group support room that does not currently have a moderator you can page an on call community moderator to diffuse the situation by going to this form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezz84Utm8PLNAjKcBJH4W5HXD_8NAfuOQm01Xe3IaqrQnObg/viewform]. #3. If its a problem in a private setting encourage your friend to reach out to our main community manager @Heather225 [https://www.7cups.com/@Heather225] as she used to be our safety coordinator she is very good at coming up with safety solutions. Side Note: You can also contact either @Hope [https://www.7cups.com/@Hope] who is our new Community Manager on the teen side, or @ASilentObserver [https://www.7cups.com/@ASilentObserver] (Obs) who is our new Community Manager for everything regarding group support here at 7 Cups! (Congratulations to all 3 of you on your new positions!!! 😁👏🏼🥳) #4. If your friend has screenshots of the situation, or if screenshots are required please encourage your friend to email those to 7 Cups with a description of the situation at community@7cups.com. Lastly #5. If a friend is triggered by an inappropriate profile encourage them to report it by either bringing it to the attention of a Safety Patrol Team Member, or by reporting the account themselves by using the Safety Patrol Teams new form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGECC4E9NeQzQp2Skspwu6VQBJfMYB2Ag-Btm93DN5w0vh8A/viewform] created by @MidnightRaven999 [https://www.7cups.com/@MidnightRaven999]!!! P.S. Theres no excuses for staying quiet if a friend is being hurt as you can report a situation using these methods as well. Just know a report of yours might not be as valuable as you wouldnt have a lot of the potentially necessary evidence. Thats why its so necessary to encourage the person its happening to, to report but if theyre not comfortable you dont have to stay quiet. #5.

...See more Hey my little Trauma Sub-Community turkeys 🦃 it is I @AriannaPink (Arianna, Ari, or Aria) back with another check-in for you guys, and this one is very special because it is Thanksgiving themed! Before we begin I wanted to ask how many of you celebrate Thanksgiving? Also for the ones who do celebrate what are your plans (if you dont mind sharing)? I hope all of you that do celebrate have a very safe, and terrific Thanksgiving! Now for the ones who dont celebrate hi Im Arianna welcome to this weeks highly decorated check-in it is good to have you! 🧡... My question for you guys in particular is what is your favorite kind of pie? 🤗🥧… Now if you missed last weeks check-in, and would like to tune in on what story was given, and what we last discussed please feel free to click here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaSupport_60/TraumaSupportCheckins_1095/TraumaticExperiencesCommunityDailyCheckinNovember20th2019_212581/] Otherwise lets just jump right in to our main check-in question so we can get started with our story for the week! Main Check-In Question: How are you doing today overall? Okay now that thats out of the way, get cozy and comfy everyone because we will be starting the story time shortly! Quick Little Disclaimer: Todays story is highly graphic so @MonBon was kind enough to summarize the graphic parts for us. I personally think you guys should be fine reading this summarized version, but if you feel like you cant or dont want to you dont have to. Just please answer the Main Check-in Question, and then click off here [https://www.7cups.com/] for your own mental health. However if you feel like you can read todays story please feel free to continue on with todays check-in! 😁... Just like around Halloween the font will temporarily turn back to normal both out of respect for the survivor who courageously shared her story, but also for your reading convenience during the story portion of this thread. Now without further ado here is Francescas Story! Francesca is a woman from Ecuador who was in a marriage with an abuser. He abused her multiple times throughout their marriage, even while she was pregnant. Her baby was okay, but the abuse did not stop, and she felt trapped and scared. After their daughter was born, they all moved to the US, where the abuse escalated. It took multiple calls to the police for domestic disputes for him to finally be arrested. He threatened her life if she testified against him. Domestic abuse became normal for them. She was trapped psychologically and financially. The abuse spread to their daughter, where it did not stop even after it was reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Francesca was in life threatening condition after a fight about continuing her education. She firmly believes it is a miracle she survived. When Francesca has tried to share her story in the past, shes been met with disbelief or guilt trips on why she stayed. She feels this is due to the gross ignorance surrounding domestic violence. Here is the rest from Francesca herself: People do not understand how difficult it is to escape. It is almost impossible to gather evidence, because the abuser will find a way to destroy it. No one on the outside knows what is happening because the abuser has the victim trapped and alone. He cuts her off from all outside interaction, and attempts to control her mind, and in many cases, he is successful. If a woman does manage to escape, the justice system does little to help or protect her. I have had a domestic violence advocate tell me that there is only a 50/50 chance that someone will get convicted of domestic battery in my county, even in cases where there are bloody pictures, good witnesses, hospital reports, and other evidence. This is why women cannot simply just walk out the door. It is a real life or death risk to leave a man that believes he owns you. You could, and many have, die in the process. 4 out of 5 deaths due to domestic battery occur when a woman tries to leave. I am asking for your help to educate the public on these issues. Women are beaten every day by their husbands, and it is a misdemeanor. You can get a felony charge for getting in a bar fight, but if you beat your wife, the justice system is sending a message that you will only get a slap on the wrist, if even that. One of the most difficult problems I think battered women and children face is that the abuser isolates the victim to the point where most of the time there are no eyewitnesses. Because of this, it makes these cases very difficult to prosecute, but even worse, it makes the states attorneys office reluctant to even pursue it because they see it as a waste of money and resources. Domestic violence is NOT a family matter. It is everyones business. It affects us all even if we are not directly abused. Women should be able to speak out against their abusers. They should be able to bring their abusers to justice. The public should be educated about what it means to be battered, and why it is so difficult to escape. With stiffer punishments, and better prevention, many women would be able to leave sooner. PLEASE help me and all women fight for what is fundamentally right. Now to finish up this check-in I have a couple of questions for you guys... #1. What was your favorite part of this story? And #2. How do you feel after reading this story? Thank you so much everyone for reading this story, participating in this check-in, and taking a chance on me! I will hopefully see you guys next week!!! - @AriannaPink P.S. If you would like to see the full/unedited version of todays story click here [https://www.thehotline.org/2013/09/30/francescas-story-2/] just please do it at your own discretion because you will see the whole version which may be highly triggering as this story is much more graphic than the usual stories I provide. P.P.S. As Im still technically on self care, and am taking today to do all the necessary prep stuff for Thanksgiving tomorrow you will most likely still be getting responses from @MonBon not me. However Ill be sure to read every single one of your responses in my spare moments as I am truly thankful (no pun intended 😉) for every single ounce of participation from you guys! Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart! 🧡... Sorry for any inconveniences that my absence over these past couple of weeks may have brought/continue to bring but I promise Ill be back full time next Wednesday as I miss you guys a lot! 🧡... Hey again its me Arianna back with our very special, Thanksgiving themed GIF for the week! I hope that all of you who celebrates, and acknowledges Thanksgiving as a holiday has a terrific, and very safe Thanksgiving with your families!!! If any of you would like to please feel free to share a story about how your guys Thanksgiving went down below once it has passed because Id be really interested to read those, and learn how different families celebrate a mutual holiday! Thank you so much in advance for your stories!!! 🤗🦃🧡... P.S. Thank you guys for the greatest almost two months ever!!! 🧡🦃🥔🌽🥧...

...See more Good very early morning on this fine Wednesday, day 7 Cups Trauma Sub-Community participants!!! It is I @AriannaPink (Arianna, Ari, or Aria) back with another check-in for you guys! Before we begin though I just wanted to let you guys know that starting late tonight (Wednesday, November 13th 2019) after Im done responding to you guys I will be going on a complete self care break for a few weeks which means I will be completely unavailable during these few weeks as my account will be deactivated. Dont worry Im completely fine no sicknesses, or hospitalizations or anything I just need to catch up on a lot of things in real life, and besides the holidays are coming up gotta prepare! 😉… Anyways in case you were wondering what will happen to Wednesdays check-ins in my temporary absence dont worry no one will go without. I have prepared check-ins ahead of time to cover me until Im back which will be posted by our one and only @MonBon! Thank you so much Mon for agreeing to help me out I really appreciate it!!! 💗… Now if you missed last weeks check-in, and would like to tune in on what story was given, and what we last discussed please feel free to click here! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaSupport_60/TraumaSupportCheckins_1095/TraumaticExperiencesCommunityDailyCheckinWednesdayNovember6th2019_211708/] Otherwise lets just jump right in to our main check-in question so we can get started with our story for the week! Main Check-In Question: How are you doing today overall? Okay now that thats out of the way, get cozy and comfy everyone because we will be starting the story time shortly! Quick Little Disclaimer: For today only our story is not edited because neither myself or @MonBon thought it was necessary to do so because we noticed no graphic content. So if you feel like its not worth the risk please answer the Main Check-in Question listed above ⬆️, and then click off here [https://www.7cups.com/] for your own mental health. Otherwise feel free to carry on with todays check-in! 😁… Also many thanks to both Sil Lai for putting her story out there, and to the National Domestic Violence Hotline [https://www.thehotline.org/] for posting stories like hers on their blog that is connected to their website to inspire people every single day! They are an incredible resource so if you guys ever want or need to know any information or advice regarding domestic abuse I recommend going to their website which I connected their link to their name right up there! ⬆️... Now without further ado here is Sil Lais Story! Twenty years ago I was a young single mother and didnt realize that I was embarking upon a new relationship that would nearly destroy my spirit. I knew going into the relationship that my then boyfriend was controlling and prone to what I thought were temper tantrums. Like a lot of abused women, I thought that if I loved him enough that I could help him heal…to finally know unconditional love. He belittled me, called me names and cursed at me in a way that to this day makes me cringe at its cruelty. He constantly accused me of cheating on him, and made me feel ashamed of who I was and the mistakes I had made in the past. And, as is unfortunately all too often the case, he eventually began using physical violence as a means to try and break my spirit. Our relationship was a crazy, unpredictable 4 years of soul crushing abuse. I finally got out of the relationship after one too many trips to the emergency room – trips that finally broke through my denial about the true nature of the man I loved, our relationship, and especially myself. Today I am grateful to be alive, to have two beautiful children who werent raised in a home filled with emotional, physical and mental violence and to have the opportunity to serve other women who are or have been abused. However, there is one thing that still gets me from time to time, which is that it took me 4 years to break free from my abuser. I remember being so desperate…so confused, and so needing of support. If I had had access to an organization such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline back when I was being abused, I believe it is highly likely that I wouldve gotten out earlier. The knowledgeable, empathetic support and vital resources they provide, 365 days a year are critical to helping a victim of abuse break free of the violence. Victims may only reach out for help once. It is so essential that the hotline answer as many calls as possible so that every victim can become a survivor. Services such as those offered by the National Domestic Violence Hotline are not optional…they are essential to the health of our families. The hotline arms victims with a truth that can eventually truly set them free. Now to finish up this check-in I have a couple of questions for you guys... #1. What was your favorite part of this story? And #2. How do you feel after reading this story? Thank you so much everyone for reading this story, participating in this check-in, and taking a chance on me! I will hopefully see you guys well from my end at least next month probably. Sending lots of love & a well month for you all - @AriannaPink Disclaimer Again: Okay I have no self control with these adorable GIFs so I decided that while I am going to keep them in all of my check-ins they will be less structured during the times when theres no holidays around the corner.

They are an incredible resource so if you guys ever want or need to know any information or advice regarding domestic abuse I recommend going to their website which I connected their link to their name right up there! ↗️... Now without further ado here is Joans Story! My story begins when I was 21 years old. I met a guy that seemed to be a good man. He was very friendly, which for me was the most important thing to have in a relationship. We met in September and by the following January, we were living together. The abuse began immediately, he became very jealous and accused me of cheating on him with another man. I did not understand why he was treating me that way. By the end of the month, I was pregnant and my baby was born in late October. I thought that my being pregnant would change him, but that was not the case, everything remained the same. The abuse continued. Every time he hit me, I would leave and go to my sisters or my mothers house. I left him many times, but I always returned to be by his side. Then one night in October, shortly after my daughter was born, he became very violent and kicked the crib. Fortunately, the baby was not in the crib. At that moment I began thinking: What would have happened if my baby had been in the crib? I became so scared. That was when I made my final decision to leave him. I left so that he could not continue to hurt me or begin to hurt my daughter. I did not want her to live in a violent home and suffer the consequences. When I made my decision, my family was very understanding. They helped me by giving me support. I left him, but this time it was forever. Now my daughter is 13 years old and I no longer have any contact with her father. Now to finish up this check-in I have a couple of questions for you guys... #1. What was your favorite part of this story? And #2. How do you feel after reading this story? Thank you so much everyone for reading this story, participating in this check-in, and taking a chance on me! I will hopefully see you guys next week!!! - @AriannaPink Surprise everyone!

Teen Safety & Reporting
Safety & Knowledge at 7 Cups / by AriannaPink
Last post
 November 4th, 2019
...See more Good Sunday morning Teen 7 Cups community I hope you all are having a fantastic start to your day! 😁... For those who dont know me hi its nice to meet you Im @AriannaPink but please feel free to call me Arianna! Im a new addition to the newly offered to teen listeners Teen Safety Team (for more information about our team please feel free to click here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SafetyKnowledgeat7Cups_181/TeenSafety_1677/NewTeenSafetyTeam_209258/]), but I also cohost weekly Safety discussions so please feel free to visit me in those as well! 💗... Anyways Im here to teach you guys basically about the appropriate timings, and situations of when/how to post as a teen just trying to protect your right to remain safe so lets go ahead with that! According to the Pew Research Center about 93% of teens ranging from ages 12-17 go online every single day. They also estimated that 59% out of the 93% of the internet using teen population gets their safety jeopardized by horrible things such as cyber bullying, and speaking to complete strangers theyve never met in person that could potentially be sexual predators. Over half of these victims will never tell a single soul. We at 7 Cups want to change that. We want the internet to be a safe space for our teens especially when it comes to our online platform! Thats why Im here. Im here to teach you guys about when we should report something, why we should report something, why some people avoid reporting something, and lastly how we can report something that occurs in the 7 Cups community. After all these topics are touched on I will be asking you guys a couple of questions to kind of wrap up the whole thread. Keep reading to get this whole thing started! ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #1: When should we report something? #1. If you see someone around that is acting suspicious with a terrorist/trolling like behavior. #2. If you see someone breaking either the law, or the rules at whatever online platform you both are at. #3. If you see someone getting abused, solicited, disrespected, or violated. #4. If you yourself are getting abused, solicited, disrespected, or violated. #5. If any persons actions just feels wrong to you in general it doesnt matter whether or not youre sure of the situation if something in your gut tells you something is wrong just please say something. Even if youre wrong, and whatever theyre doing is okay thats okay theres amazing people who figure that stuff out for a living! At the end of the day though its just a lot better to say something, and have a situation be completely innocent rather than not say anything, and have someone get either seriously hurt, or be put in danger. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #2: Why should we report something we know is going on even if it doesnt affect us personally? #1. You could prevent any more laws/rules from being broken. #2. You can prevent people from being hurt by the same person over, and over again. #3. You can help admin people/police find people that need to be disciplined. #4. You can help weed out the bad people from the good on online platforms. #5. You can feel good about yourself by knowing you made a positive impact on online safety. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #3: Why do people often avoid reporting? #1. Threats from the offender. Sometimes offenders will threaten victims which can be really scary, and will often scare the victim into silence. #2. Uncertainties. Sometimes we think that we dont see certain situations correctly which can keep us quiet because were afraid of being wrong or being called crazy. #3. Fear of rejection. Victims often are so put down from their offenders that theyre terrified to tell because theyre afraid that the person they do open up to will not believe them. Even if it is just a irrational fear in victims eyes its a lot easier to stay quiet rather than say something, and find out. #4. Not wanting to get involved. Sometimes as bystanders we see a situation where we dont wanna get involved whether it be because were afraid of being hurt as well, or simply the fact of feeling like the situation is not any of our business. #5. Feeling like we deserve whats happening to us. Offenders can be so talented in the art of manipulation that they can convince their victims that they deserve every single attack that comes their way. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #4: Who can we contact if we feel unsafe/see something inappropriate in the 7 Cups community? #1. If you see someone acting inappropriate in our group support rooms you can always contact a moderator. If a room does not currently have a moderator you can always contact a on call moderator by either clicking here, [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezz84Utm8PLNAjKcBJH4W5HXD_8NAfuOQm01Xe3IaqrQnObg/viewform] or looking for the teen on call moderator form down in the chat room rules specifically rule #22. #2. If you run into a safety issue, and need help urgently you can always contact our teen community manager Heather (@Heather225 [https://www.7cups.com/@Heather225]). She is very knowledgeable, and will direct you towards which steps need to happen next based on your personal situation. #3. If you ran into a situation where you had to make a report that screenshots were required the best option would be to email your report, and screenshots to the 7 Cups community at community@7cups.com. #4. If you notice an account on 7 Cups whether it be members or a listeners have any content that is either inappropriate or against 7 Cups rules in their username, or bio you can report them to someone that is on the Safety Patrol Team that way the account can be flagged, and further evaluated to see what action needs to take place. #5. For special form information, safety information that wasnt covered here, or just to check out our sub-community please feel free to go to https://www.7cups.com/home/safe7cups/ [https://www.7cups.com/home/safe7cups/] ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Section #5: Concluding Questions #1. Was there ever a time you felt like you shouldve reported something but didnt? If the answer is yes, and youre comfortable please share the reason why. #2. In the future (if you had to) would you report someone? Why or why not?
