After Working 'Every Single Day For 30 Years' This Couple Gets Screwed By American Healthcare System At The End

You should educate yourself. NASA has one of the lowest budgets out of any government branch and does a hell of a lot more than steer a robot around Mars. Microwave in your house? Thank NASA. Have you or someone you know ever received a CAT scan? Thank NASA. Thank them for your camera phone, baby formula, portable computers, and so much more. You not only assume NASA does nothing else but spend taxpayer money, but you also don't bother to realize that NASA's funding makes up 0.5% of the entire US budget - and, I'll add, was cut by $16 billion as compared to last year's budget. I'll wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment that the US should take care of its people - but stating NASA's supposed uselessness is ignorant and doesn't prove your point.

IDK, this whole story doesn't seem too real to me. Besides, why didn't she just block him? Why write to her grandmother (and not his parents). And why did she have the grandma's number?

I think this is all made up. All the conversations seem too perfect. Plus, not enough typos.

As with many narratives posted on Bored Panda, there is no evidence that this actually happened. I expect that most of these stories are fiction.

This seems so fake. Why does a girl who doesn't remember someone from high school and weren't even friends back then, have his grandmas number? And why grandma? Why not parents? I don't understand what people get from posting such nonsense

Man Documents Incredible Transformation Into Woman In 17 Months, And Her Facial Expression In Last Pic Says It All

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

I think it's amazing! Obviously the children as well as their parents knew what they were signing up for and were ok with it. If the parents of the kids in the photos were fine with it then why is everyone taking such issue with the photos? It's the parents and children's decision and who are any of us to judge them. The kids don't look terrified so they must have been comfortable with it. You can bet the same people who are complaining have read Hansel & Gretel to their children (a witch that eats children is just as scary as slender man) or any other fairy tale for that matter. If you don't like it, don't look at it. If you think it's traumatizing, don't let your kids participate in a similar shoot. As far as the girl that got murdered by the 2 teens... That was not because of a fictional character, that was because those girls were f-ed up in the head. I personally would be stoked if my kids got an opportunity to be in such a creative photo. Keep up the incredible work.

Ahh man. Now I just see a guy on stilts and a blurred alien mask. Thanks Mom's on here for making the author reveal the magic behind the pictures! Pfft!

Scary s**t

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

Wow. Really? And have you ever bothered to watch the interviews with the kids about their experience? Do you know The Shining the kid had no clue it was horror even? He literally thought they were filming the most boring snorefest ever because they never let him see any of the scary stuff going on on the set.

"author".... sorry

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

wow i have so many negatives on that comment. its just a thing to think of back on. obviously the kids know what is going on and are not afraid, but the visuals of it. looking back on something like these photos as an adult they may not even remember doing this photo shoot. its not a judgment on the work *beautiful work as it is* but its just how life works. we think back on things or see things from our past and remember or feel things we didn't feel back in the moment.

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

Never heard of Slenderman before, I take it?

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

Better not watch The Shining, It, Or Stranger Things then. Or dozens of other horror movies out there.

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

When I was a kid, some kids supposedly got hurt playing D&D in the woods. My stepmom at the time got scared and forbade me to ever play it. When I went to college, I was invited to play and learned the game. I'm a parent now and I still find her fears unfounded. If a thing exists, it can be abused. That doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with the thing. D&D is just a game. Slenderman is just a fictional character. Neither is something we need to be afraid of.

Thank you! :) My good friend is a stilt walker and had a creepy alien-head mask so while parts of him are photoshopped, he was definitely interacting with the kids.

Not sure how my response came across as stifling, but that wasn't my intent. That said, to play a blame game with regard to what makes people do the things they do is an exercise in futility and is baseless. Two teenagers committed a heinous act because of a story they read on the internet and it should be crystal clear the problem isn't the story, it's the teenagers themselves. What my photos inspire others to do isn't my responsibility, nor will it ever be a factor in what I choose to create.

Why?

Thank you Taryn. <3

Thank you ❤

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

While I'm not responsible for what unbalanced teenagers think or do, I do think there are far worse things available to teenagers than pictures of a man on stilts in a forest.

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

I appreciate that, thank you. <3

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

Why would they be terrified? They know who is under the mask.

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

I'm not sure why it's not a good decision. People with guns shoot other people every day, there are wars being fought as I'm typing this - if young minds are as "impressionable" and "irrational" as you claim, surely we should pull all violence from every video game, movie, TV program, and YouTube video in existence. It's the same thing, isn't it?

I Took Children Into A Forest To Meet Slenderman

I appreciate that, thank you :)
