Drake Bell is not holding back about the toll that Internet trolls are taking on his mental health.

The 36-year-old Drake & Josh actor spoke out on social media.

When a Twitter user wrote lets not forget hes a pedo, he responded in a since-deleted tweet: Do a second of research This is what I have to live with everyday they are literally going to kill me. Bloods on their hands

The comment comes from a child endangerment charge that Drake pled guilty to in 2021.

Prosecutors determined the star sent inappropriate social media messages to a 15-year-old girl he had met online, and he was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service for the crime.

He later said his actions were reckless and irresponsible but that there were no sexual images sent or nothing physical done between him and the underage girl.

It truly blows my mind how mean people are on here to people clearly dealing with mental health issues, he later wrote in a tweet, adding: Its unreal how cruel you all can be.

Only a few days before, Drake Bell was declared missing before being found alive.

If I were him, I'd just take the Hayden Christensen route, buy a farm and disappear.

Maybe change his name and appearance style too

Voted "no" on the poll, because forgiveness is for God, not me. I never forgive anybody for anything.

Its gonna take some time to realign

So is he admitting he sent a 15 year old inappropriate, sexual DMs?

If so, and he knew she was 15, hes a rock spider.

Not defending his pedo moves at all, because if it's true he's a predatory piece of shit, but there really is something weird with child stars. It feels like the industry corrupts their little spongey brains and ends up destroying their innocence or something

The industry needs to do more to protect the kid actors/actresses. It's not right to abuse the kids and then act like the influence the industry has had zero effect on them

I wonder if that viewpoint ever bleeds into your Naruto fan fiction. Like if somebody does something bad to Naruto are you able to write than Naruto forgives them, or does he hold little crybaby grudges just like you do?

Was I? I dont remember that

The whole thing is really weird. Drake is good looking dude and had a wife/could hook up with any of the thousands of fans that follow him on twitter that are around his age. He has no business texting a teenager.

Being attracted to younger people is not about attractiveness or being able to hook up with anyone, it's about power, lost innocence, and other psychological factors

If I remember correctly based on a study, pedophilia is weakly correlated with environment, as opposed to being gay, bi, or straight which basically exclusively genetic

Honestly it's fucking terrible that pedophilia exists, it's one of the few true evils in life imo.

The guy deleted his tweet anyway, I wonder why

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Wow, its almost as if there is some middle ground between I will never forgive anybody for anything and I want everybody to be forgiven for everything

You can forgive someone and still have them be canceled in the way you'd like to see. I think for someone like Drake Bell in this case forgiving him means just leaving him alone, not letting him go back to whatever he was doing.

Was what bad for me? You are guessing nothing about what?

what are you even trying to say?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Upbringing, nurture, society/culture, mental health and development, and the worst part from what I remember reading was that suffering from abuse as a child could lead to developing that attraction as an adult. I hope that I'm misremembering it though because that would be incredibly fucking sad if true.

It was one study that I read ages ago, it's possible it was a junk study. Based on attraction as described by pedophiles though it would make sense that it's more about the power aspect and less about innate, genetic attraction like most humans have

Of course I do, Im not a psycho

and just do you know, forgiveness is a nice trait, not an evil one

I think you overestimate how much money he has. He used to to be in a ton of debt, although that was before he had a big hit in Mexico.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Shit makes my heart break honestly, you'd think the abuse they suffered would be bad enough as is, but then it can impact their development further

What happened to "love thy neighbor" and all that?

Naruto is cool in my fanfiction. He has a scar over his eye and dresses in black like a real ninja.

Sounds like something a religious person would say. I'm not one of those.

Thats not the poll question though

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

....... you really just came in half prepared for this post, didn't you? Lol

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

But the poll question is asking a specific question

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I was just joking, though. I get the sense that you're being serious.
