[@FredericChen]

Thank you all for the love and support 💕 it’s overwhelming how many people have similar experiences and it only indicates how prevalent this problem still is today. I love you all, you make this community the way it is and I can’t thank you enough for that. But please do not go to me for help/advice about your own experience! I don’t mind reading your stories obviously but I’m not a professional, I’m a 19 year old college student and please go to the links in the description or talk to a professional over the phone. They are much better at handling questions and just being a person who will listen to you (from my experience at least), and it’s anonymous. I’m not comfortable giving too much advice or telling you how you should feel about YOUR own experience. You know your story, no one should tell you how to feel, you know your feelings best. Hope that all makes sense.

[@chriscantdraw]

Y’all are absolutely right. My brain blocked out most of what happened. What happened to me was done on multiple occasions for a few years (what I believe to be from ages 6-10). It was bad. I know who did it to me and I remember just a few of the overall encounters. My brain had already blocked out what happened when I was a child so during one attack, I questioned why I was afraid of this person. I couldn’t remember why I wanted to jump out of my skin. So I said yes and just let it happen. Again and again. There was nothing I could do so why not go with it? This person could snap me in two with their bare hands so what chance did I have? I still find myself blaming, not them, but me. I tell others all the time that it’s not their fault. Only the person who attacked you is to blame. But I have a hard time believing that myself. After all, I did agree. Even if I was clearly uncomfortable with the idea and this person knew it. All it took was a little force of smile and disassociation. All that to say, it’s still in the back of my mind. I can’t afford a therapist nor can I even bring in up in my household. The bits and pieces I can remember still haunt me. I still see this person so it’s very difficult being brought back to those times. But I’m working through it. I have amazing friends who’ve been supportive every step of the way. One day I’ll be able to talk to a professional and see where we can go from there. I wish this person would rot in the firey pits of hell, but dwelling on it too much won’t solve anything. If someone somehow made it to the bottom of my comment and have gone through a similar experience, please understand that you’re not alone. Nothing the other person has done to you was your fault. I know it’s shallow coming from someone who just said they can’t believe it themselves, but it’s true. You’re not at fault. They are. Just know you have a community backing you up right here.

I’ve never been sexually assaulted before, and my heart goes out to whoever has. I’ve been touched before, by my brother. I’ve only talked to one person about it and she kinda didn’t care, so I’m gonna talk about it on here, even if nobody sees it. one time, me and my brother went over to our friends house to swim and hang out. (both of the friends were guys). I was changing into my swimsuit in the bathroom, (they had a Jack and Jill bathroom which means it had 2 doors, but neither of the doors had locks on them) and my brother (9 at the time) came through one of the doors and pinned me (7 at the time) against the wall with his arm, choking me so I didn’t have enough strength to pull him off me. he then called the other older friend into the room, and then pulled down my bathing suit bottoms. the other younger friend, around my age, heard what was going on, pushed his brother out of the way, then came into the room covering his eyes, found his way to my brother, then shoved him out of the room. he then closed the door (still covering his eyes) and held it shut so they couldn’t get in. I pulled my bottoms back up, and did my best to keep the other door shut, but they were so strong that they kept getting in, trying to get to me and touch me more. the friend that was helping me had to pry them off of me, and punch and kick them, while I was screaming and crying. eventually the mom of the friends came in and helped me. she didn’t want me to be around the oldest boy anymore so she took us home. I haven’t been back there since, but I will always be thankful for the help of the youngest friend, who did his best to help me while making sure he didn’t see me. im sorry for anyone who has been assaulted. you are an amazing person, guy girl, non binary, or whatever gender or sexuality. update: i realized eight months ago that this was sexual assault. i’m okay now though!! i don’t live with my brother anymore, he lives with my dad and i live with my mom.

Yeah if they touched you (or themselves in your presence) at all in a sexual manner, that's sexual assault-I would say molestation in this case. I really hope you're brother doesn't still live with you. If you're going to tell someone what happened, tell someone you trust to understand you. It sounds messed up, but some people are equally messed up in the head from trauma or something, and will not know how to properly act or react to your story/experience. So even if it's easier said than done, if you share with someone, tell someone you trust, tell someone that can help you or is at least willing to listen. Stay safe. Let yourself process and understand what happened, even if it hurts. It may help you grow, and it may help you heal. It's happened to me, and slowly I am processing my own pain, and hopefully healing it, too. Well wishes 💜

No one of any age, especially a child should go through something like this. Schools do not teach children about pedophilia, sexual assault, and predatory behavior enough. At my school, they don’t do it at all. When i was 9, my friend of the same age was sexually assaulted by his uncle who was around the age of 28. He told me about his experience after a week of contemplating whether or not it was worth telling anyone, since no one taught us about pedophilia, and sexual assault. I who at the time knew just as little about these things, kinda knew something wasn’t right and urged him to tell his parents and ask what they thought of it. I don’t know what happened after that, i only know that his uncle had to serve some time in prison. After a few months, his family moved out and I’ve never seen my friend since. I don’t know if this experience of his made a lasting scar, or a tiny scratch in his mind, but what i do know is that schools should bear the responsibility of teaching children about things like these, so that no one should have to go through something like this.

[@tappimusmannipus]

Exactly same happened to most of my friends and family members and it’s horrible. Schools and even parents should teach their kids about this very early on so they’ll understand what to do in that situation and hopefully avoid this happening to more kids.

dont call yourself dumb for the last experience. you trusted someone and they turned out to be shitty. it 100% is their fault.

[@indecisive.325]

This is why teaching kids about sexual assault is so important --- mainly teaching why and how it is wrong. It's so easy to make the jump from victim to victimizer when you're developing your brain. Not every victim realizes what happened to them is wrong, and can't compute that it's wrong to repeat those actions.

[@Somedyingbitch]

I agree. When I was in year 7, my first year of secondary school, multiple girls were sexually assaulted by people of many ages, never told about the horrors of this trauma, and the rest of us learned by their stories. They could have been helped. The school did nothing. The school said nothing. Statements were written and ignored. The assaulters were left with no repercussions. There were no warnings, no way to stop them, and no one to tell who would help. This victim blaming, non-believing, unspoken, disgusting culture around sexual assault needs to be stopped, and we need to talk about it and provide dire consequences for rapists. We need to speak out. We need a change.

I was sexually assaulted and preyed upon on the internet when I was 12. This guy had me wrapped around my finger so damn tight. He tried to isolate me from all my friends, he had me heavily manipulated, he would make me believe I wasn’t who I thought I was, (now realize, I’m trans ftm). I was under his control for a year. And it’s officially been two years away from him. I still have trauma. I still have flashbacks. But my current boyfriend saved me. For sure. But no one knows besides my boyfriend and a few of my friends. Sexual assault trauma is hell to deal with. It will get better tho. I feel like sexual assault is never talked about in schools. If it was, maybe then I would’ve realized what was going on. But here’s a small list of what a predator/toxic person will try to do to someone, just in case it helps anyone - tell you they’re going to kill them self if you leave or unfriend them -tell you to keep “us” a secret -try to isolate you from your friends -isolate you off of the internet -be heavily critical about your appearance -May become upset when you want to spend time with someone, even family -you may feel emotionally confused a lot around this person Please, if someone is doing any of these to you. You should cut contact or reevaluate how you became “friends” with them. Edit: thank you for all the support, I’ve never had a comment “blow up” as much as this one.

I’m not sure if this counts as assault, but might as well share to find out. When I was 14, my family was going to eat somewhere and we had to pick up my aunt (who was like 68 yrs old at the time) and since there was no other place in the car, she and I sat together in the back. Now this was normal, but that day she started touching my thigh and continued until a point where I wasn’t comfortable with it and didn’t want to be next to her anymore. The next time I saw her because that I had told my mom what happened, she told me to go in the front seat next to the driver so I didn’t had to go next to my aunt. At first I thought this would be ok, but by the time that she was on the car, she sat exactly in the back seat of my front seat and started to reach my shoulder, then my bra strap and then she moved her hand further down (where again at the point where I wasn’t comfortable and didn’t know what to do). My family didn’t noticed any of these things when they happened (I still don’t know why). And I didn’t want to say anything because like you Fredric I thought it was normal for (in my case) my aunt to be touching like that cause I thought she wouldn’t harm me in any way. By the end of the day, I kept my distance and later my mom approached me telling me what’s wrong, and I didn’t say anything. Weeks later I got the courage and actually speaking with my mom about it and she was mad to say the least with my aunt and everything. It’s been 2 years since, mayority of my family is in my aunt side with this situation (and blames me by saying that I was exaggerating at the time, when I think I wasn’t). Till this day I still have contact with her and there’s been multiple times where she’s tried to assault me yet again. I don’t expect pity or sympathy from people, I just wanted to share it, since Until now I’ve just shared my perspective with one person (my mother). edit: thanks for taking the time to read and the nice words everyone has told me! I’ve never thought so many would be on my side considering the perspective of my family... If anyone has or is going through a situation like mine or Fredric, please speak up. It doesn’t matter to who, but from my experience it’s always good to have someone listen and be by your side after such event.

When we were in the lunch line on of his friends touched my ass and he laughed abt it (no teachers saw bcuz most of the guys and some of the girls are tall at my middle school and Im 5'2). Another one of my guy friends touched my ass after we left out of class. Him and some of my other guy friends were talking abt it and one of them told me so I told him I'd slap him if he did but he didn't care so after class I made sure he left before me but when I walked out he was waiting for me I tried to face towards him so he couldn't do it and I was running late for my other class since I thought he was walking to his class I started to walk to the back stairs but he did it anyway. I didn't want to be late or get in trouble so I just got mad at him and ran to class cuz I don't wanna ruin my school record, I don't wanna disappoint my mom.

I was sexually assaulted when I was 7 or 8, and I guess you could say I'm traumatized about it because I always remembered how I described it. To give a quick summary, my uncle, who was 12 or 13 at the time, convinced me that if I suck his "thing," I would get a prize. So, me being the confused 7 or 8 year old, I did what he asked. We got caught by his mom and she just told me to wash my mouth. I still remember being in the bathroom washing my mouth, and being super scared, confused, and sad. He always bullied me and treated me different when I was younger, but what he did to me that day was so disgusting, and it'll never leave my head.

I'm reading through the comments and I'm seeing people mention "this happened when I was 5" "This happened when I was 10" And it really bothers me because for as far back as my memory goes, the youngest age I can remember, my uncle must've been assaulting me since I was a baby. It had to had been. Him, the next guy, and the next guy. I had 3 men assaulting me my entire life. I just got out of sexual harassment in 2017, and came out to the authorities in 2019 because my sister had told my mother that she was assaulted.And funny enough, I wasn't traumatized by any of it since it'd happen since forever, but I broke down in tears when I found out that my third assaultant had violated my sister. She didn't have to go through that. If that last guy showed up and started assaulting me in 2013 when I was 9 all the way up to when I was 14.. That literally means he also did the same to my sister who'd be 6, all the way up to 11 in 2017. What kind of sick person does this? My sister and I laugh about how disgusting he was, but I don't stray down farther than she'd go because I know she has trauma from it And I don't, but I'm kinda glad she came out because to be honest, I would've died with those secrets if it wasn't for her.

This exact thing actually happened to me... Except while "grooming" she just put on straight up porn, and she was the one who moved away, not me. Was still pretty confused though. I've always thought it didn't count because it wasn't as if I was resisting or telling her to stop, and people still insist that this experience attributes to the fact that I like girls, and it's simply not true. It also differed because after the first time, I was refusing and in those cases she'd guilt trip me or tell me it's not like anyone would hold me the way she did. I haven't told my friends, so I think this is the first and last time I'm going to bring light to this just to acknowledge those who've had similar things happen to them and that they're not alone. This isn't to overshadow or invalidate, just to get out of my system and never bring up again.

I didn't fight back so I didn't think it "counted" Sadly I still see her but my family knows. She would groom me by putting on lesbian porn on the tv and tell me that was normal. I believed her because I was scared and didn't know better. Also when I said no she would scare me into it by tacking me to the library nearby and using puppets to show what happens if someone does not agree with having sex. Till this day I am terrified of dolls and puppets. I never share this but your story is so similar to mine I thought id open up.

hearing about this and all the stories people are posting here makes me feel incredibly sad and furious, I can't understand how schools never told us anything about sexual assault or harrassment and how others downplay these situations when those stories get told. We actually have a pedophile living in our neighborhood and so far, none of the parents living here have ever tried to say anything against him. He is an old man, I'd guess at least 80 years old, because he's definitely older than my grandparents. I see him sometimes when I take a walk with our dog, and the last time I met him, around when spring began, he wanted to walk a little bit with me, and me wanting to be kind decided that those 20 meters until I would take a corner to my home wouldn't be too bad, so I agreed to walk with him. He started talking like "how old are you?" (even though we had talked before and he'd asked me those questions before but I guess that's because of his age) so I would respond "18" and then he asked "are you in love?" and I said no because even if I was it's not something I'd want to talk about with this man. And he went on like "oh no I don't believe that, you have such nice legs and such nice boobs, there must be someone!" and I tried laughing it off and being like "no haha" and he continued to talk like that and when we came to the corner of the street that I wanted to take to get to my house he was like "oh please let's walk a little bit further" and since I didn't wanna be rude I did. But then he started saying "if I was younger, you'd fall in love with me right?" and then went on to ask me if I had masturbated before, then telling me to please think of him the next time I masturbate. And to top it off he asked me if he could peak under my hoodie, to which I obviously said no, but he said "oh come on, just a little peak" and then tugged at my hoodie trying to look down from above and I pulled away and said something along the lines of "oh I gotta go, goodbye" and went home as quickly as possible. It's still creepy to think about it now but what really shocked me was when I told my parents and sister, and my sister (who was only 15 at the time) told me that she had something similar happen to her, with him grabbing her thighs and that he had done this to other girls around the same age as her as well. And so far, not one of their parents have told him to stop that behavior, even though it is absolutely disgusting. Luckily, I never met him outside again after that event and I hope no other girl had to meet him either, I never thought I'd see a pedophile this old, and I don't want to know how terrifying he must've been when he was younger and stronger...

I had the same experience of feeling like my experience didn’t count because he was a minor too, and in fact younger than me. thank you for speaking out about this! when I was 6 my mother had a new boyfriend (her first one after my parents got divorced, I’m pretty sure) and he had a son that was 5, me and his son would always hang out all the time and since I was so easy to manipulate back then (after all, I lived in an abusive household, and I still think of it sometimes as the normal even though I know I shouldn’t, though that’s not the only reason I was easy to manipulate I was obviously a kid lol.) his son would always bully me and push me around and blame me for things and the like. I have the same feelings as you as feeling like I’m not traumatized and still not being sure what I feel towards the experience. He would repeatedly show me his privates and make me show him his and go and tell our parents, though they didn’t think much of it at the time. I still didn’t know what sex was at that point but knew if he told our parents I would need to feel embarrassed, so I did what he told me to. He would also touch me sometimes while we were laying in my moms bed. This experience has always been in the back of my mind since i tend to dissociate and/or forget when bad things happen to me, I recently only really remembered the situation and was like “hey! that’s not normal!” while finding a post on child on child sexual assault, I told my mom about it about a month ago in the midst of an argument after I had just been made uncomfortable by an adult touching me on the thigh as soon as he walked in and making tons of inappropriate comments towards me while me and my mom were over at him and his partners house. I still don’t know if that counts as harassment or anything since he didn’t actually *do* anything to me and just made a bunch of sexual comments as well as like ... touching my thigh but that’s still how I mentioned the whole child thing to my mom. I also told my therapist (though I told her I don’t want to carry out any action since it was so long ago and barely really affects me). and during the talk with my mom she told me it’s very possible that I’ve been sexually assaulted multiple times and don’t remember (as I said, I tend to dissociate or forget) seeing as many of the older male figures in my life that I was close around and still sometimes am have been proven as sexual predators.

I'm so sorry that happened to you i too am in a state of do I care and should I care, sexually harassed at 7 in the second grade told the teacher and she said something to him i was thankful sexually harassed at 9 in 4th grade my teacher said my skirt was to short she told me to cover up and didn't check the boy now during that time i was being raped from 6 to 9 and whats weird is this is the first time I've said I was raped like I told on the boys when they harassed me but I never told on my main predator and I don't understand why because once I realized it was wrong and stopped it I just didn't tell like ik it was wrong but I didn't tell because I wanted to protect him and for what but now I feel like it happened so long ago why would I bring it up and would anyone even care or believe me, like what would it do for me i dont have proof I rarely show emotions of something being wrong and im deemed a liar by my family for whatever reason and this family is already in shambles so what would saying something do for me and I don't want that to even be known by my family like its embarrassing and I truly don't know how they will react because they can't even take the time to listen to my side when I get into a petty argument so why would they take it on this

i- this makes me wanna come out with my story: we have a shop in our compund and weve been going to it since we were children (ive lived in this compound almost my entire life), it was fine for kids to go to the shop themselves. I mustve been 8 or 9. I went to the shop one day by myself and the new shopkeeper came towering over me and did gross gross things to me, he kept mumbling how much he 'loved' me and this is and that. he groped me in both areas I thought it was a one off thing, that it wasnt as bad as i thought, i went back and realised it was as bad as i thought. but i didnt know how to say anything to my paretns i didnt even wanna think about what had happned. finally after weeks, i confronted into my closest friend who was the same age as me and my sister who was a year younger. my friend said she had been having the same experiences. i had to go to the shop once more after that and i remember vividly walking quickly, watching over me and making sure he didnt come near me. finally me and my friend decided to confront in her older brother. he was 5 years older and he shrugged it off and mumbled that he couldnt do anything about it. feeling hopeless i was scared so mf scared. after dodging my father asking me to go to the shop for himm i didnt want him and my mother to worry so i confronted in my nanny and said he was doing weird things to me, she came with me and shaking i looked him in the eye and said if you dont stop ill have to tell my parents and as i said that i saw my brother, that man worked at the shop for roughly a year or two afterwards and i was petrified and disgusted everytime i saw him, whether he was tlaking to me or my mother or anyone. he finally mentioned that he was leaving in the summer (in dec) and i began to count the days down. after he left roughly a year later i was talking to my mum and i confided in her and asked her not to say anything but she spoke to my dad and one day i was in the bathroom and i heard them speaking and he said that he was doing something about tit, my mother told me afterwards that he was not allowed back into the country and i went upsatirs and i couldnt sop shaking and i was crying but i didnt know why. sexual assault is gross and it makes me feel so uncomfortable speaking about it because it feels like this gross secret that im harbouring everywhere
