I Was Sexually Harassed in Public.

***ATTENTION: Hey guys, there is a LOUD BEEP at the beginning of this video! It was an editing error! I'm so sorry for the mistake! My premiere pro will sometimes randomly put one of my sound files at the front of my video and I usually catch it. This time I did not, I just wanted to pull the trigger and get this out. So sorry again!!!***
I felt like drawing a really powerful piece of work to help me let go of all the negative feelings I had about this incident. This was not my first experience with sexual harassment/assault.
It felt really good to get this off my chest, but after recording the audio for this, another sort of unrelated incident happened that made me feel incredibly unsafe again.
I've been working to try and cheer myself up, and I've made many great steps forward, but in the back of my head I still feel fear that something is going to happen to me or my son.
I love you all so much, and thank you for always listening. I love reading your comments and I love being able to interact with you guys and hopefully give you strength to fight your own demons.
I'm sorry this video isn't on a more cheery topic, I just felt I needed to talk about this. I want other people to know I'm here for them if they ever need a shoulder and that they're not alone.

[@storiegrimm9464]

Emily Artful You are not alone. You are incredibly strong for expressing this and we are always here for you. You’re incredibly talented and I understand how it’s hard not to blame yourself. I feel like people who do that kind of thing should be arrested. I mean, the lady was confused on whether to take his technology away... ( and I understand that murder and sexual harassment are not the same) but if a murderer was caught and they know he did it and had proof, they wouldn’t question to take all sharp objects away from him, they’d through them in jail. I just... I understand how you feel. I used to have a friend in middle school who tried to make sexual advances towards me. I’m a freshman in high school now but... I still see her around campus and in my nightmares. I trusted her at the time so I came out and told her that I was demiromantic, Asexual. And after I told her that, she started licking me and stuff like that and ask “Do you feel anything now, (my name)?”. Even though I told her to stop multiple times and I apologized for not liking her back , she was just a friend to me. But, despite the proof and everything, the schools still haven’t done anything about it. My new friends including some of my old friends are there for me. A couple months ago I finally came out saying I also liked all genders (pan). But, it took me so long to come out because every time I think about liking a girl all I see is that friend and I slowly drive myself insane. I don’t anything bad to happen to that ex friend... but... she did other things that suspect that she might have severe narcissism. I’ve been trying to somehow get her some help. I feel she would be able to live a normal life in adulthood and these thoughts and actions I saw her do and still do, I know their not healthy. And I know her mom is the same way and thinks there’s nothing wrong. I’m sorry, I just felt the need to get that out.

[@moniquelabonte3900]

I love you so much. You understand that it's not a girl's fault when a guy does something like this. Even when a guy goes way too far with a girl people always think it's the girl's fault. Not many people understand that it's the guy's fault and you're amazing for that!

At camp where I use to be a counselor we had a creepy guy counselor who was caught using his camera to take videos of my cabin of teen and tween girls (age 11-13) and I literally lost it and demanded the videos to be destroyed. I wanted to smash a rock into his face! He was kicked out and never allowed back. I shudder to think what has happened to him because I’m sure he didn’t stop at this.

[@miri5758]

This is my little brother's experience and it made me understand how much boys who are abused don't have a shelter to hide. I'm not an English speaker so I'll try to explain myself as best as I can. 5 years ago (I was 17 while my brother was 8), we were playing in a courtyard near my house, we live in a quiet place so we didn't expect something so disgraceful to happen, we were completely careless because, you know, we have lived there forever and nothing ever happened, so we were peaceful. I told my brother that I needed to make a phone call so I left him sitting on a bench, and I went to make that fucking phone call. I don't know when it started, I don't know why, I don't know for how long, the only thing I know is that I heard my little brother's voice screaming my name at the top of his lungs. I had chills running through my body, I froze there. Only a few seconds later I did run to search for my brother, and he didn't have his shirt on anymore, and his pants were at his feet. With the tail of my eye I saw these two girls running away. My brother came to me screaming "They tried to kiss me and they stole my shirt!". In that moment my heart stopped. My little brother could have been raped. These fucking monsters tried to rape a 8 year old boy in a park. I was shocked, I didn't even know what to say. He didn't cry, he didn't say anything. He was too little to understand what those girls were doing to him. He screamed because he was angry that they stole his shirt. That day I told my parents what happened. All they said was "They were girls, maybe they thought that Luca (my brother) was cute, no need to worry". Yeah. They definitely thought he was cute. Because they fucking tried to strip him and rape him. I wanted to tell everyone what my little angel had to go through, but the answer was always "They were girls! No need to worry!". In that moment I really thought that all those people were disgusting. Last month my brother turned 13. I don't know if his brain processed the trauma, I don't know what happened in his mind in these 5 years, but never once did he try to talk to a girl, he even avoided talking to his female classmates. He always said that he isn't scared, he just doesn't feel like talking to girls. He only feels comfortable around my mother and I. To this day, nobody tried to understand my brother. Nobody tried to understand why. Not even my mother. Nobody. Because he is a boy, and "boys don't get raped", "boys don't cry", "boys must treat girls like flowers". Well, fuck you.

[@LindskogTed]

I (as a man) was thinking exactly the same as your hubby until it actually happened to me. I was studying for a thesis at UNI at a normal cafe in Stockholm. Then a man sat down next to me in the crowded cafe. After maybe 5 mins he started bumping in to me a litte as he was fumbling around. Then i felt a hand on the side of my thigh, he said sorry and i just shrugged it off and said; "oh! dont worry!" and smiled to be polite.( i mean it was a really crowded cafe. Stuff like that are bound to happen!) All of a sudden i felt the hand again on my thigh, stroking it. I froze out of shock, 'whas this really happening?!' he continued stroking my thigh and whispered things in my ear. Then i snapped! I made a big scene and threatened the man with smashing his face so badly so his mother wouldn't recognize him anymore, then bolted out. OMW home I picked up my dog at a female friends house and there told her about what happened. She laughed it off and just said: "Gurl, thats just a pre-lunch snack for me walking downtown stockholm!" I was blown away, Disgusted and sad that this is what women have to endure! Just because I could cause a scene knowing i am a big man that could probably overtake the pervert, not many girls could do that! My heart goes out to you, Emily, and all the other women that has to experience this. Its disgusting and no one should have to experience this!

Two years ago I was getting on a bus and this random girl, maybe 14, sat down next to me and asked me to pretend to know her. She was all anxious and shaking. She told me that at the train station where she’d been waiting for the bus a guy, much older than her probably 18ish, started talking to her. He asked for her number, she said no. He kept bugging her and asked for her Instagram which she gave to him so she could just delete his request later and he’d leave her alone. She made an excuse to walk away but he found her and asked her why she didn’t accept his request yet etc. She said she didn’t have data etc and tried to get away but he kept talking to her and pressuring her. Eventually she got some distance between herself and him when she was in line for he bus, and then sat down next to me. She showed me the guy who got on a minute after her. He kept watching us the entire time. When she got off a friend of hers, who she texted, was waiting for her to pick her up so she wasn’t alone and he wouldn’t follow her. In the end she was fine and he didn’t get off at the same station but kept staring at me until he finally got off. I was barely 16 myself and super scared and disgusted

Like not even that goddamn teachers. And I even told them after some stuff happened but beecause he was younger than me and didn't meant to sexually assault me he just got the words " please don't do that again [name] ". And when we left I saw that disgusting terrifying little pervert fucking smile on his face. And a couple days later he did it again, he touched me again he tried to take off my clothes again and he even tried to show me his dick.. Nothing ever happened, no one ever talked about it, he just kept doing that and nobody gave a fuck. I'm so happy that i'm not in elementary school anymore and that he doesn't know to what middleschool i'm going (I think it's middle school, in Germany elementary school is from 1-6th grade and i'm now in that school that goes from 7th to 13th grade, soo, yeah) Sorry if I did spelling mistakes, as I said, i'm from Germany, we don't have much english lessons there :(

And I was used to it before then, because he did it when I was four and when I was two my mother pimped me out to randoms. My own father and mother just.. Ruined me. My father is in jail for life and my mother.. There's no way to prove she did anything. I was too young.

Since everyone is sharing their story, might as well share mine. When I was little, i used to love riding and driving four-wheelers. My grandfather owned a few, and would only let me drive if he was on the four-wheeler with me. Now that might sound good, but after what he did, I was never able to see him an a good light. It was four or five years ago, so I was 9 or 10 at the time. I had wanted to drive the red four-wheeler he had up and down the dirt road that he lived on. He let me drive, but he was sitting behind me. For the first 10 minutes, it was okay. He got a little too close and started to touch me "down there". I no longer like four-wheelers as much. (Reminder, I was 9-10 at the time, I am now 14, so things might not be accurate, but I do remember him touching me inappropriately.)

So sad to think that people do that to children they’re RELATED to!!! My mom knows a family that she grew up with in church that had something similar happen in their family. There was a guy at her church that everyone knew and loved, and I’m pretty sure he used to sing up front for church, ( maybe not, I might be getting him mixed up with another guy ) but to get the point across, it was a small church and everyone was like family, including him. My mom trusted him so much that she would’ve left us with him if she needed to ( I never met him ). Well apparently he had raped/molested some of his grandkids ( I don’t remember if it was just the one kid, or his siblings too ) for YEARS! He was caught bc the family found a tape of him doing it, and he pleaded guilty in court. He knew what he did was wrong and didn’t even try to argue. Apparently when he was younger, he was a mailman, and he accidents ran over and killed a little girl that ran in front of his truck as he was delivering mail, and my mom thinks that he was probably emotionally and mentally scarred from that, so that probably played into why he did what he did. My mom absolutely isn’t excusing his sick behavior, but I think she doubts any of that would’ve happened had he not hit the kid with his mail truck. It’s sad, he was a great guy, and now he’s in jail for the rest of his life bc of his awful choices

You did the right thing ❤

[@AllyCarts]

When I was 14 I was being sexually harassed by a boy in my class regularly for several weeks. Everybody knew about it, classmates were sympathetic but didn’t really stand up for me, teachers brushed it off. It started of relatively innocent like a guy that might have crush on me, except it wasn’t mutual and I made that very clear right from the beginning, mostly because the way he expressed his “crush” gave me the creeps. He didn’t just ask me out or did other things that would’ve been considered normal. He would brush past me with his hands, or “bump” into me and “accidentally” brush his hands over my legs, my hips, my waist. And the more I rejected him the more persistent he became. He would touch my face and my neck, he would follow me and my friends around during lunchtime and between classes. He would put his face really close to mine and just get up in my personal space. He got a real kick out seeing me be uncomfortable. I eventually told the head of class but she didn’t do anything so I went to the head of our year. He said he would talk to the guy. A little while later the head of our year came to me and said :”I talked to “brad”(not his real name) and he said he just really likes you, so maybe you just need to tell him clearly you don’t like him”. At that point my heart kind of sunk because I had been crystal clear and he hadn’t backed off. So at this point I felt like I wasn’t gonna get help from a teacher. And so when he bothered me again my fight response kicked in, anytime Brad got close to me and would kick or punch him to try and get him to back off. It didn’t work and it took me too long to realized that it only turned him on. This went on for some time at this point everyone in the class knew that this was going on but nobody stepped up for me nobody really helped me and I began to dread the days where I knew I had a class where I wouldn’t be able to get away from him. He was seated behind me in math class, he was seating at the same group of tables during art class, and during classes without a seating chart he would make sure he was seated within touching distance. And he would talk to me non stop and everything he said was wrong. He just sounded like a complete psychopath. He would talk about how women were lesser than men. How it was a woman’s job to stay at home and take care of the children and that women don’t have to work and they have to do what men tell them. And he would talk about how eventually I would realize that I liked him. And we would be together eventually, and someday we would get married. Then one day during math class he put his foot on the back of my chair (they were open at the back) and he started pushing his foot into my backside, like he was massaging my butt with his foot. I had a compass (the tool to draw circles) in my hand and I like stabbed his leg with the pointed end but being the softy that’s I was I never did it hard enough to actually hurt him because I didn’t want to get in trouble.... it didn’t stop him and I was basically crying in my chair. I raised my hand and asked the teacher if I could sit in a different spot (I had always been a favorite of this teacher, because I was good at math) for some reason she said no, and she got mad that I was disrupting the class. So for the rest of that hour I had to deal with this guy pushing his foot into my ass. And listen to him talk about how women are lower than men. And how one day we were gonna get married and I would be his housewife. And the whole time I felt sick to my stomach. When the class was done I basically ran out of that classroom to look for the head of our year, because damn it he would take me serious, I would make sure of it, as I walked over the school grounds Brad followed me and yelled at him to get away from me and I shoved him and a teacher walked by, one of my favorite teachers and he turned to the guy and went what are you doing? And kind of held Brad back to talk to him, I don’t know what followed because I just got the hell out of there to look for the head of our year. He wasn’t in school, and wouldn’t be for another week or so because he was on some school trip with another year. (This was towards the end of the school year) and the head of my class had never done anything so once again I was on my own. Teachers were useless nobody really understood. Now a bunch of stuff was happening at home at the same time. My parents were discussing moving to another country (my dad had a business overseas) and about two weeks after the math class incident (Brad was still stalking me and harassing me) it was official my family would be moving overseas far away. People in my class were surprised at how calmly I accepted this, at 14 how could I be ok with moving to the other side of the world. And I think it largely had to do with this. Because moving across the world also meant moving away from him. It was during a school day trip that I basically told him I was moving across the world, he was sitting in front of me and my friend on the bus and he was leaning over the chair talking his usual bullshit, about how we were gonna marry one day when I told him he could forget about that because I was moving to a different country. He proceeded to say he would follow me, that he would find a way to come to my new home and we were still going to get married one day. This was around 12 years ago, and I don’t think about it very often anymore, only during videos like this or when I read about sexual harassment and stuff or sometimes when I’m not doing anything. He didn’t follow me. I have no idea where he is now, but I know that his words used to haunt me. My worst nightmare was that he would one day just appear at my school as a new student, this was especially frequent in during high school, but every now and then would pop up during university, and later even at my work place. Anytime something reminded me of him I would get that anxious feeling that somehow one day he would just appear. I hadn’t thought of it in a while now, and for the most part I started brushing off this whole thing myself, like it wasn’t a big deal. But even typing out this whole novel I can tell it was a big deal, feeling how anxious just writing about this made me feel. It was just so inherently wrong and the fact that years later I was still haunted by the idea that one day he’s just going to pop up in my life, and make me miserable again...

[@larizz527]

Hey, listen. I'm so sorry for what happened, he was (and probably still is) a complete piece of shit. But I don't think you should be scared of him. I mean, years passed, you moved overseas, he has no way to find you. He just said that to scare you or just to sound like he took it seriously. But don't worry, it's not like he's gonna see you after all these years, he was just being a jerk who liked scaring people off. Anyway, I hope you feel better now and you've recovered a bit from this experience- I can imagine how some of his "statements" could still haunt you. Hope you'll find and marry a person actually worth of your love ❤

[@ItsMe-ce6ug]

I’m absolutely horrified by what that boy did to you. I hope you’ll get over your trauma that disgusting boy gave you. On another note I hate people that say women are lesser than men and have to stay at home and listen to everything the man says. I also hate people that think the other way (women are greater than men.) Why can’t people just accept that women and men are *equal* and both genders deserve the same treatment. This might seem a bit overboard but I really can’t stand people that prioritise one gender over the other.

That’s absolutely aweful! I once had a crush on a boy- (this is when I was around 11 years old)- let’s call him A, and we used to hang out a lot at recess, for some reason my “friend” told him I had a crush on him! And he totally changed... he once came up with something called “hug Friday’s” and I spent the whole day running away from him, and him trying to grab me and hug me over and over again! (I no longer had a crush on him after he started acting creepy) And then one day kept lifting up his shirt in front of me... I never told anyone but my closest friends, and I know this isn’t nearly as bad as the other stories here, but I want you to know that I think some people are just horrible demented creeps, and I think that the teachers should have done something about it!

Since we're all sharing here. I was touched in my private areas by a close family friend when I was 11. I was sitting in his lap and we were watching TV. No big deal to me, as I was used to sitting in his lap at the time. Prior to this, I had felt safe with him. Of course, until he started touching my chest and between my legs. I've only recently remembered this because I had repressed the memory and actually forgot about it for a few years. Once I recalled it, suddenly a lot of my odd behaviors that I'd developed made so much more sense! I'm 32 now and have mostly come to terms with it. But I refuse to let it happen to me again! Or even to my 2 year old son! I will be going to jail for murder if I ever hear someone has touched him inappropriately! Don't fuck with this Mama Hen! I go for the eyes first!

I had a experience when I was 12-13 years old, I'm 16 at the moment. I was with my uncles in a public pool playing with my little cousin and one guy started to look at me until he talked to me. He was at first kind, like asking if the little girl was my sister and that we we're cute. I looked more older at that age so he didn't think twice to look at my body. I noticed that and started to feel uncomfortable. Time passed a little and he out of nowhere started to play with us. I gotta say that he said that he was 20, but I think he was older. Suddenly he started to hug me and put his hands on my hips like I was his girlfriend or something. I didn't know what to do and people seemed to think that he was my boyfriend because I looked older. Then he kisses me and tried to put my hand into his pants, also trying to touch my butt and boobs. I get off and swim to other side until I got out of the pool. Nothing happened next, but I saw him looking at me at the distance, like waiting to me to go out of the place of the pool. My father picked me up and I never told my parents about this. (Sorry for my bad English)

This was around a year ago, one of my best friends had gone to a local Walmart to pick up a gift for her younger brother, I was there with her because I love picking out gifts! There was this guy behind us, he was very strange. He immediately set off sirens in my head, I brought my friend quickly to another isle and told her. She didn’t think much of it, and since he was no longer near us I walked to a different isle, boy I shouldn’t have. A few minutes I heard intense crying and my friends voice, I bolted over to see that nasty son of a bitch groping her, I walked over and pulled her away from him and told the cash register ( didn’t have a phone on me) I feel so terribly bad for my best friend, I love her so much and it kills me to see that so many perverted, nasty, ugly, and WHORES are in this world.

When I was sixteen, I went to an anime convention with a ballroom dance event at night. I didn't have any particularly fancy cosplays for the event, so I got in a regular dress down to my knees and attended so I could stick close to my friends. I sat in the corner, on my phone talking to my girlfriend, rejecting most dances with people at the dance. "Sorry, I don't like dancing, I'm here for a friend." "Sorry, my feet hurt." "Sorry, I'm not interested." Occasionally I'd say yes, but for the most part I stayed in my corner. Five minutes til the end of the night, a man walked up and said "You. Me. Dance." And it threw me off. I gave my excuse, "Sorry, I'm tired." And he grabbed my hand and tugged me to my feet. He told me he'd go slow and immediately started to try swing dancing with me to a slow song. I do like to dance and I know how to swing, but I was uncomfortable with this dude so I tried to pretend to stumble and accidentally let go of his hand, hoping he'd let me go. Eventually he realized I was getting too far from him, so he pulled me closer and stopped spinning me out. He got a little *too* close to my face, and something clicked. I tried to take a step back and tell him my friend was leaving, and he grabbed my wrists and tugged me back in, almost kissing distance, and said "Stay a while. I haven't even got to know your name yet." and I freaked. I managed to rip my hands away and pushed him back and yelled *"No,"* and ran off fuming to find my friend.... Who was comforting another girl much smaller than me who was grabbed and kissed by the same man. We ran off to find security, and when we told them he slid around to listen in, looped around us, and left out the exit behind us. Security shrugged and said "He's gone now, nothing to do." And they didn't file a report. The next day, there was a kind of rave event and he grabbed my friend by the hand and told her to dance. I ripped her back to me, took his description to security, and the only person that'd listen was an older women who took his $180 VIP weekend pass away.

Fun story: when I was 14, I was looking at glasses after my eye test, while my mom was getting her eye test. A random guy walks in, and also starts looking at glasses, a few metres away. He kept getting closer to me, until he was only a foot or 2 away. I made eye contact with a staff member, and they thankfully asked the guy if he wanted any help. He declined and left.

But I stopped feeling bad for myself and eventually I managed to talk to people, and go back to school. I soon realized it was the best decision I'd ever made. To this day I'm still proud of myself for making this decision. Now I'm a sophmore in college and is soon gonna get a degree in computer science with my lovely boyfriend. (Yes, I'm gay.)

I was once sexually harassed by 2 classmates when I was 15. A bit of a back story; A and B are best friends have been since 5th or 6th grade. They also weren't that nice to people, and got into fights often. Now as you can imagine I wasn't extatic at all to work with A and B as I really didn't like them because of the things they do/did. A, B and me sit down at our previously decided seats/kitchen for the week. Our assignment was to write someting about something I can't remember. I keep trying to get them to help me as this was a group project, but they just continue to whisper and laugh. I heard some snippets of thier conversation like "(Name)" "touching" "like it" "great idea". I didn't think too much of it at the time, but when we got our 5 min break for completing the first wirting task things happened. We got out into the empty corridor, and I move towards the exit to buy a quick snack from the cafeteria as it was the end of a long day and I hadn't eaten lunch. But I hear them following me I start thinking "Maybe they need to use the bathroom? Maybe the also need to buy something? Maybe the wanna go home?" Suddenly someone's arms reach around my waist before I make it to the exit and shove me into a corner. I see it's A and B and pushes A (who pushed me into the corner) away. A and B pushes me back into the corner and start touching me on my boobs and my hips and butt. I'm frozen for what feels like minutes before I gather my senses. I managed to push them away after some sturggeling. They move towarss me again but instead of being frozen I jump into action and punch A in the face (breaking his nose as it turns out later) before kicking B on the leg and runnibg back to my classroom. When I get back my teacher asks me why I was out for 10 min when we only had a 5 min break. I tell her what happened and she goes to the principal, my other classmates who heard what I said asked if I was ok which I replied to that I was. I got to go home early after what happened and when I shut my front door behind me the entierty of the situration tumbles on me and I start breaking down. These were people I "knew" people I "trusted" to an extent. Nothing happened to the boys after what they did (only A's broken nose), and I changed schools as I had planned to for a while.

So glad your teacher at least went to do something! My mom had a creepy teacher when she was in highschool, that grabbed her knee and pulled it to his crotch once, and also picked her up, put her on a table, and spread her legs. Her friend kicked him in either the shin, knee, or crotch to help her the one time, but I don’t remember how she got away the other time ( I also don’t know which time it was that her friend helped, but I think it was when he put her on the table? ). My grandparents never did anything about it ( they’re great people, I love them, my grandma is just kind of harsh so she didn’t always help my mom, aunts, and uncle, but I know she feels bad now ) and I don’t know is she told a teacher or the principal, but if she did they didn’t help her.

My „story“ is not that serious but it still makes me feel uncomfortable (also excuse my grammar) When I was in seventh grade my class went on a skiing trip and this one teacher already had a reputation among students but I didn‘t want to believe it without proof, so I tried just acting normal around him not wanting to buy into these prejudices. On the first day on the slope he mentioned the fact that „It looked like I was hot with all these layers on“ and proceeded to open my anorak(?) and the jacket I wore underneath and I just stood there not knowing what to do surrounded by my classmates The next day he stood next to my friend and I at the breakfast buffet and "hugged " us from behind having his hands near our waist I tried to ignore him the rest of the trip and the following years but every time he got close to me or we’d have him as a substitute (especially during swimming class (?))I tensed up I haven’t told my parents because it doesn’t matter now as I have changed school but I felt the need to finally get this off my chest I know it sounds like I‘m making a drama out of a minor situation but this has really affected how I feel & act around older men

Once I took my little sister and her friend to a Walmart in town. (She was about 9-10, so was her friend, I was 16-17) And there was this dude who had followed them (I went to an aisle adjacent to grab some lightbulbs, the Walmart was set up weird). But this grown man was just following these ten year old girls through every toy aisle. They actually found me, and I led them away to this sorta clearance section. I tried to goof with them so they’d feel better and we were playing with hula-hoops- but out the corner of my eye; that same guy was trying to peek at us from out of the side of this shelving unit of clearance items. I think he noticed that I saw him, because he kinda leaned back behind it- but his phone camera was faced at us. I got so freaked out all I did was very loudly walk near him and just say “Can I help you? My little sister says you’ve been following them in the toy section. What business does a middle aged man have in three child aisles following two little girls like that? You lost? You need something? Because I think you need I get lost.” Long story short, we don’t go there anymore, and I literally never leave any child family member alone

@Olive Not always. Sex abuse comes in many varieties. It can be refusing to wear a condom but still insisting on sex. It can be demanding your partner to do things they are not comfortable with. It can be forcing them to be in multiple partner situations when they don't want to be. Unwanted touching, kissing, groping, fondling, it is all sexual abuse. NO CONSENT. It is not taking NO for an answer. And now that I know this, I could look at my past and see it was filled with this type of behavior because I believed it had to be penetrative rape at one time too.

She sat on a bench and goes on her phone. I went on the monkey bars and swung around. A few minutes later, this I would say about, Thirteen year old came up to me, and literally grabbed my Behind. He said, “Hey Sis!” I Yelled to my mom who didn’t even bother to watch me, and the boy ran over to his Friends Just ignoring the fact that he just touched me. I was crying and told my mom that we had to go home. She Nagged and said, “It’s fine, he probably thought you were his literal sister.” I though, “I do not believe that regular brothers and sisters do that...” After begging to her for maybe almost Five minutes, she lets us go home. At the time, I had no idea what sexual Harassment and Sexual inappropriateness was. Now that I think about I realize how this can hurt someone. It doesn’t matter how small it is. It’s still Sexual abuse.

My mom is russian and when we went on a trip there she told me to meet her at my aunts apt. I knew the area well so i started heading over there. I belive i was like 10 or 11 at the time. As i was walking i seen a homless man, i thought nothing of it becouse there are a lot of homeless people there. After a few minutes a looked behind me and he was following me but from a distance. I kept walking but a little quicker i have always been a little paranoid with random men strangers. Once i got to the apt. I Turned around and he was walking way quicker. A least ten feet away know i walked around to the back and searched for the key in my bag. After a few second i had finnaly found it and ran in the door and shut it as fast as i could. The man was banging on the door and i ran up to my aunts "house" i told them and they told me i need to be careful. But the whole thing really scared me. I think about it a lot and what would have have happened if i couldn't have found the key quick enough.... Edit. Srry for all the misspelled or improper grammer. Spell check is useless😥

I’m a bit late, but idk how I tell this to anyone so I’m gonna tell the internet, a great idea right? It’s not as big of a deal as someone who got raped or other sexual harassment . Idk if this even counts but I have this cousin (3rd I believe) . He romantically likes me and I feel really weirded out by that. He’d always follow me and tries to touch me. We’ve been to 3 family junctions together, one at the beach one at my house, and one at mall of America. When we were at the beach, he kept on looking at me really weirdly while I was in a swimming suit, he tried going into my families room while I was changing, and he always stood barely a centimeter away from me when I was standing still. When he was at my house, he tried touching my torso every time I passed him and he even almost groped my chest and ass during these interactions. He tried to put his arms around me in more than a platonic hug and it’s very uncomfortable. Then we went to Mall of America and went in roller coasters. Whenever he sat behind me he grabbed my waist and held me really close to him, or if I was sitting next to him he’d try grabbing my hand or shoulder. I feel so weird when I’m around him especially since he’s my cousin. During those times, none of my male cousins were with me and even when I tried to be around them he’d still follow me. It’s not the worst thing that could happen but it doesn’t change the fact that these things are so uncomfortable and it’s okay to feel like your space has been invaded.

Just a quick story , When I was 4 or 5 , My family went to a birthday party. My brother had met a friend and decided to introduce me, after that we hung out. My brother went to the restroom and me and his friend were in the backyard talking. My brothers friend told me to follow him and I did , he led me to a place where nobody was. (They had a lot they purchased and he led me there, The only things there was their shed.) He asked me to come into their shed. He pulled down my dress and started taking off my panties,I tried to deny but he kept on going. He almost got them off until I slapped him and got my panties and skirt together and ran out. I still remember that day and I’m now 15. I’m forever scarred and barely trust anyone. 🤧

Since everyone is sharing stories of how messed up the human race can be, I will too I guess... So, when I was 13 and in seventh grade in my middle school, and it was still summer at the time. My friends and I decided that on a hot Friday, we would all wear jean shorts and tank tops as a group to school. We personally thought it would be a super cute idea, so we did it. As the school day ended we all walked into 'town' or a very popular area with a bunch of food shops and of course our favorite smoothie shop. As we walked out of a store with our drinks, we saw that there was a table of men that at the time looked old enough to be if not older then my parents. They cat-called us and one even tried to come up to us and 'talk' as he claimed. We could see them trying to take their phones out and take pictures too. There were about five people in my friend group including me, and three of them ran away after the first cat-call. So after the man tried coming up to us, the rest of us ran to where our three friends were. (we thought It was away from the men that had been harassing us) Little did we actually know that one of the men was following us and at that point, we actually saw him coming up to us and knew the police station was very close. (you could see it from where we were) So we ran straight into the police station and waited there with the officers while waiting for our parents to pick us up. Turns out the guy that decided to follow us was an officer there and was friends with my parents. So he lost his job and a friendship. People get what they deserve :)

[@boyloverhiiro8937]

Dang, a freaking police officer? Dude how do get people like that get hired _anywhere?_ So far the only experience (thankfully) happened when i was 11, i was getting to my moms car and there was a group of around 3-5 dudes there, who didn't seem that old honestly, something like in their mid-twenties i think? Well, i just ignored them because i knew they were absolute weirdos, i had seen them drink alcohol in an elementary school's lawn, digging through trash and catcalling women on the streets. Naturally i avoided them but they were like 1-2 meters from the car so um... I couldn't really avoid them too much. The dudes were like... Telling me what a "treat" i was (i was 11 miND YOU) and also what they were gonna "do with me" (with oddly specific details) and 11 year old me got absolutely into panic mode and i rushed in to the car and i was like "MOM DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE HOLY GUACAMOLE THAT WAS CREEPY" And i still saw those creeps everywhere, and those same freaking dudes gave DEATH THREATS to my stepmom, and they have also PHYSICALLY ATTACKED MY DAD. And they were also my neighbours so... yeah. My dad called the police on them after the attack, he didn't have evidence of the attack happening but the police found drugs in their home so yay.

[@clumsyrayann194]

I have been sexually assaulted by three different people in my life, the first person I have no idea who they are. I was so young that I only remember that I was at a family friends house party (possibly for the 4th of July) and I was in their room watching tv and this man (who had been sat beside me) started touching me and asking if it felt good. It was terrifying, I must have been around 4 at the time. it is something that I think about often. I mean there was at least 20 other people in the house (including my parents) and the door was wide open, if he was that confident in assaulting me in that sort of setting then what would happen if he saw me somewhere less crowded? the scariest part is, I don't know who he is, or what he looks like. he could be anyone. The only thing I remember about him is his voice, asking me those inappropriate questions, and it keeps me up at night. The other times... one was my step-brother, he tried to force me into doing it with him, and when I refused, he forced his hands onto me and later took 'pictures' of himself on my phone I was 15. The last one was the most traumatizing, it was my cousin, I was 9 when it first started, he would use scare tactics and manipulation to keep me quiet about him having his way with me. I was terrified and kept telling myself I would tell someone but he would threaten me telling me he would hurt me/ our family. it finally stopped last year when I was 16 and I went to the police. I have always harbored negative thought and feeling about myself because of these situations. I've always blamed myself. I can't help but hate myself for not talking to my mom about it because I was terrified to get in trouble. I should have known better and told sooner. Thank you Emily and everyone else in the comments for sharing your story, this is the first time I have ever admitted ALL of this, it's the first time I have ever felt like i'm not suffering alone. And I hope anyone who happens to read this and has been a victim of any kind of sexual assault/harassment knows that they aren't alone either.

Honey, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I've never really been assaulted like those before, but ive been in an abusive relationship before. I know its nothing like what you went through, but I remember ever time I've ever considered telling someone about my ex boyfriend (when we were still together) i got scared because he threatened me with so many things. Now that we are done, its been about a year, ive had the courage months ago to tell my story. And, I haven't contacted the police because its been so long for one, and for two he has provided me proof that hes getting help, and that he isn't doing what he did to me anymore. Plus I'm so over the whole situation anyways. But I used to lay awake at night crying because i felt so pathetic for letting that happen to me without doing anything. Especially for how long it was going on for. But you cannot control what others do to you, and you are worth it. Your cousin and everyone else is the worthless ones. You are brave for even saying anything in the first place.

My boyfriend forced himself on me. He was at my house and we were sitting on my bed, only about ten minutes after he had gotten there. He kissed me and I kinda just smiled back at him cause I didn't really want to be touched at the moment. He them proceeded to kiss me again, this time crawling on all fours on top of me and pinning me on the bed. I told him no and to get off, but he wouldn't listen and he just started to bite my neck. I tried to push him off but he's a foot taller than me and a lot stronger than me. He just held my wrists tighter. Only when I yelled at him did he get off. Then, later when we were watching amine on the couch, he got really close to me. At that time I had already felt uncomfortable but I couldn't ask him to leave because neither of us can drive and my parents weren't home (I had already been frequently checking my phone to see when his dad would come to get him). He put his arm around me and turned me so he could kiss me. He did, and I tried to push him off of me, but he wouldn't budge. I just let him kiss me and hold me. I thought if i gave him what he wanted then he would stop. He didn't. It happened more frequently on the couch and right before he left. After he left i immediately went up to my room. I was shaking and I started to cry. I started to realize that he had done it before after school when we were alone back stage and in the dark. Later that night I went downstairs. It was almost four or five hours later and I was still shaking and crying. My dad has asked me what was wrong and I didn't tell him at first, but he insisted so I told him. When my mom came home I told her too. I almost broke up with him but I didn't. It's nearly a month later and I still don't trust him. He's moving in 15 days and if i'm being completely honest, I'm kind of glad. I still try not to let him touch or kiss me. I don't think I'll ever trust someone the same again. I'm only 13.. UPDATE: He broke up with me when I told him I thought I was trans (I am not, I am genderfluid now). That night I joined a cosplay call on instagram and I started talking to this girl I met and we hit it off immediately. I am in a very healthy and happy long distance relationship :) thank you for those of you who were worried.

When i was 4, we visited my fathers relatives in india. Me and my sister (6 years old) with a couple of cousins same our age decided to buy some candy at the end of the street. The man selling the candies was old, probably like 70. He made excuses that he didn’t have any plastic to place the candy so held my shirt up a little forming a pouch and place the candy there but as he did that he continuously fondled my breast. I was only four but i already had little boobies then. I remember looking at my sister and friends as he continued to ‘accidentally’ touch my breasts as he placed the candy and i vividly remember thinking that this was wrong and i was uncomfortable. Now 11 years later i decided to tell my sister since I recently remembered it and she immediately looked at me and told me that the same old guy also touched her inappropriately.

I told him to stop but he'd didn't and it kept on happening till I was ten. he didn't rape me or anything but it made me feel so fucking dirty, and to this day I feel so scared to be alone with males because I really don't want this to happen again. but to anyone who has experienced this, I really hope you talk to people about it, I know it's hard but you can do this. stay safe -a traumatized fourteen year old

[@boybreakdowns]

So I know that I found this video a bit late, but since everyone else is sharing stories in the comments, I might as well tell mine. It happened a few years ago, right at the end of seventh grade. So let me preface this by saying that I am female. I also have more "masculine" gender expression. I hate skirts, wear baggy clothes, and have my hair cut short. I also had a female best friend. We WERE NOT romantically involved. It was just a close platonic relationship. We always respected each other's privacy and boundaries (and still do). Ok. So it was near the end of seventh grade. I'm talking like 2 weeks until school was out. We had an assembly. I was next to my best friend and some boys who had been rude to me a few times before were behind us. The seats were fairly close together. I was paying attention to the teacher when I felt somebody stroking my hair. Without turning around, I asked them to stop. They stopped, and about five minutes later I heard whispering behind me. I just ignored it, figured they were talking about something random. Later, I felt somebody fingering my shoulder and neck. I asked them to stop again. They took their hands off of me and one boy said "How do you know it wasn't your "friend"?" I knew it wasn't her, because first of all, she wasn't behind me, secondly, she respected my boundaries, and thirdly, I could see out of the corner of my eye that she had her hands folded in her lap and hadn't moved them. Then another boy said "They aren't friends, everybody knows that they're f**king d*kes." Then they started taunting us, telling us to make out, and one ran his finger down the back of my neck again. That was the last straw. I turned around and slapped him. The teacher saw me. Long story short, I got detention for a week and couldn't go on the end of year field trip. I explained the situation, but the teachers just laughed it off. I don't know that it really qualifies as sexual harassment, but I don't know what else to call it.

The same thing happened to me as well. I was in a store with my aunt and I was wearing shorts/skirt and a tangtop. I wanted to get something from a higher shelf (my aunt was far away from me at that moment). Some guy (many in his late 40s) was a few meter away from me and you were able to tell that something was off. He kept walking past me multiple times and was just looking at the same stuff I was looking at so I thought he just wanted to buy the same thing. So, I got up this small latter and tried to reach the item. My tangtop was a bit to big for me so it slipped in some places. My top then revealed a bit the of my boob. I pulled my top up as fast as I could and it was only a few seconds so I thought nobody saw me. (I wish) All of the sudden I saw a flash but it came out of an corner. I thought to myself "what if someone took a picture of me!" (I was right) I wish I told my aunt what happened! A few days later a friend of mine wanted to meet me asap. He showed me a picture but it wasn't just any picture. It was a girl and you were able to see almost all of her boob....I was this girl. I saw the profile picture of the person that posted it and it was the creepy man from the store! I didn't know what to do. My friend told me to go home, tell my parents what happened and call the police. And that's what I did. The police called us then to inform us about the news atm and told us they were able to delete the pictures from the website.

Not super long ago, maybe 1 -ish years ago, I was walking in a relatively small town, just going on a walk to get lunch, no big deal. I was walking beside about a 3 foot deep ditch that was very overgrown. A man, old enough to be my dad, starts walking towards me and I don't really think much of it. Until he threw me followed by himself into the ditch. Because of the size difference, I couldn't get away, he put his hand around my neck, so I could barely breath, and tore down my leggings, followed by his jeans. You can probably guess what happened next. For a good five minutes I kind of just later there in defeat. As I said, this ditch was very overgrown, so with my hand I eventually found a stick and I jabbed it as hard I could into his side, which drew a bit of blood, he took his hand off of my neck and I booked it down the street until I had to stop, I dident run far, due to my very private area being in so much pain. I eventually went up to a fairly young girl who was headed to her car, and I just said. "I need a ride. Sexually harassed. Help." And she just said. "Come with me." And ran across the street her her car and opened the door for me to get in. She drove me to the police station, and I was just balling my eyes out, only partly because of the physical pain I was in, she came in the police station with me until I talked to the police guy. Luckily, the next day they called me and told me that they had caught him.

When I was 11, an older boy I was carpooling with sat next to me in the backseat of the car. I was wearing a shirt that was a pretty low cut collar, and I thought it was the reason this happened, but after I saw this video I realised I was wrong. The car ride started out normal, but then he started slipping his hand in places I didn't feel comfortable with people touching. He tried to put his hands in my pants and up my shirt, and sometimes succeeded. I was kicking him hard, and trying to pull his hands away, and my mom must've thought we were just rough playing because she didn't say anything. When we got to the school, that car ride was all I could think about. I continued carpooling with that guy, but I sat in the front seat. I really hated it, and made it clear I didn't want to ride with him, but never told my mom what actually happened, until one day she told me I was riding with him AGAIN. It was about two weeks after the incident. I told her, and she had a pure look of shock on her face. She told me the carpool couldn't be cancelled that week, but I would never have to carpool with him again. She contacted his parents right after I told her, and they brought him over to apologize. When he apologized, I hated him so much that I didn't even want to see his face. I just hid on the stairs listening to him talk. I never saw him again after that, and I am glad. I just hope and wish that he hasn't done this to anyone else, and that anyone else he might have done it to has told someone. These things are serious, and are extremely bad for both sides. People who sexually harass others need to be filtered out from regular people, and punished. It is completely wrong, and anyone who doesn't take this seriously needs to put themselves in the perspective of people who have been harassed. It's an extremely harming and uncomfortable situation to be in, and nobody WANTS to be in that situation.

When I was young I was with three friends (all girls) at the park taking pictures, it was starting to get dark so there was literally nobody but us there. Until one random car stopped in front of the entrance, it was weird because there was a parking a few meters away and they just stopped there, we were looking at the car interested and some men started to open the doors and get out with the motor still on, so one of my friends said: run! We took our things quickly and ran, so the men inmediatly got back inside and drove towards us, there were two ways we could go and all of my friends went the same direction except me. I went to the bridge that led nowhere but a lonely church and the car chased me obviusly because I was alone and trapped, luckly my friends shouted at me that I was going the wrong way and it was soon enought for me to turn back and follow them, thanks to that we gained time to scape since the men had to go backwards to get out of the brigde and track us and by the time they were back behind us we got inside the only stablishment that was still open, and saw the car pass in front of it. It was an awful expirience specially because I was like 14, and I keep asking myself what could had happen if my friend didn't react for us, or if I continued to run on the wrong direction or if that restaurant was already closed...

When I was 5, I wanted to play with my friend. I got to her house, knocked on her door, but her brother opened. I asked if she was there, and he said no, but said she might be waiting in the small garage behind the school were nobody goes. Nobody goes there, because it's hidden by trees, and you have to climb over a huge fence. Turns out, she didn't even know it existed... He opened the door, and led me inside. It looked like a hospital room. He said to sit on the bed, and wait for her. After a while, he told me he wanted to show me a kind of 'massage', and told me to undress myself... When he said to remove my pants, I said no, but he didn't give up...

I am 17 now, but when I was 15 years old, one of my father's closest friends stuck his hand down my pants and molested me on a family camping trip. I had known him since I was 8 years old. He molested me repeatedly for an entire year, coming into my room and touching me when my parents were too drunk to pay attention. There are things that happened that I still can't talk about with therapists or anybody for that matter, but the best thing I ever did was when I finally spoke up. He wasn't allowed around me after that, and although it took till the beginning of this past new year, he's in prison for what he did to me and other girls who spoke out as well. It breaks my heart to hear all of these stories, and I do hope for those of you who are harboring these frightening events (no matter how fucking small you think it may be) you speak up.

I was seven years old at a friends house down the street from my house. We were playing in the living room when her dad brought me into his bedroom. I thought he was just being friendly, picking me up and swinging me around like adults do sometimes. Eventually he started..touching me. I was too young to understand what was happening. He took me into the bathroom and exposed himself to me. He tried to get me to touch him, but something felt wrong so I ran out of the bathroom. He didn't try to stop me. He was just testing boundaries to see how far he could get. He invited me to stay the night and I really wanted to, but my mom said no. I can't imagine what would have happened if my mom hadn't said no. After I got home, I told my mom and she drove us to the police station and he was arrested and charged.

When I was 18 my friends and I wanted to go to a party. it was a "schools out"-Party so a lot of people where there and they only let one or two people in at a time, while around 50 had to wait outside. We just kind of tought, that we would wait and it would be okay. Five Minutes later we where in a big crowd and almost unable to move. It was also getting hard to breathe from time to time, because people where pushing from behind. So it was not a good situation, no getting out and almost no moving. One of my friends was really small and thin and we had to pull her up so she could breathe. So none was able to move or get out of that situation and then someone pinched my butt three fucking times. The worst was, that because so many people where behind me, I couldn't make out who did that so I just had to ignore it. Later when I asked my friends they told me, that something like that happend to them to. How fucked up do you have to be, to grab someone when they clearly can't move and escape and can barely breathe!?

This isn't really that bad, but when I was 13 I was walking with my friend and I felt kind of uncomfortable. I looked back and there was this grown man following us and smiling.

Walmart is literally the worst. I was there one night after a game (I'm a cheerleader at my local community college but at that point I had changed into sweatpants and our uniform tank tops that are just basic tank tops that say lakers) to grab some make wipes as I was spending the night at my boyfriends house and he needed some things too. We both got our stuff and were heading to check out when I realized how much I had to pee. Like 2 year old pee dance had to pee. I gave my boyfriend my stuff and money to pay for my item and told him I would meet him when I came back out. Walking into the bathroom I noticed a strange man sitting on a bench by the bathroom entrance (its past midnight so he was easy to notice) I had a weird feeling but I just unlocked my pepper spray and had it ready just in case ( I'm always really sketched out by people and had the pepper spray from another, very foul situation I was in). I went in with no problem but when I came out my bf was still standing there with all of our stuff. I asked him what was going on and he said as soon as I walked in the strange guy got up and was going to follow me in until he realized my bf was watching and wasnt leaving. The guy just turned around and left. I have so many other stories that are much worse and unfortunately had too much foul mouthed sexual dialogue to be able to retell. It's so sad that so many girls and women have to be so afraid to go anywhere.

I remember being 4-5, and playing at my friend's house. My friend said he's going to go check to see if another friend wants to come over and play hide and seek, who happened to live down the street. So he ran out while I was scouting out the house for hiding spots. I ended up in the living room with the father and sat on the couch. He was in his recliner. He came over and basically undressed me and ya know. I remember going to that house because they had kittens... After that incident I never went back over there and I spent the majority of my time in my room, wondering if it was my fault... And for the longest time I believed it. I thought, "I was the one who went over there, so I'm guilty." I want people to know that if you have a similar experience, just know it's not your fault. It was never your fault. Edit: it's still hard to talk about this, even though I'm 21. I knew I wouldn't be able to describe the rape without reliving it again. I never received help for this so I don't really know what to do when I do relive the moments. Please don't hate me.

Ok since everybody is sharing their story I'm gonna share mine: So..around november 2019, I had a group project with a few of my friends. I had to draw a logo of the shop we were making and give it to friend A (hes a guy) he was supposed to make a bunch of copies and stickers of it. so luckily friend A lived in the same neighborhood as I did so i said to my mom I'm going to his house. keep in mind i was wearing very short pants since it was well..90 degrees outside lol. i walked to my friends house and then i notice a man just staring at me. i didnt look back because i was already uncomfortable. but then he asked me.."hey kidddo, where are you going?" it was weird, and i dont really know him. I was an innocent kid okay? i answered him "to a friends house.." he continued to ask again "who is this friend of yours?" i answered "(hes name)" the most creepiest question of all is. "your going there A L O N E??" that send the alarms on my head since there was no one around. My brain was like "who is this son of a bitch trying to know if im alone or not?!" but i instead answer "Y-yes..?" then i just started walking back to where i was going. he started following me. i kinda panicked and walked faster. he started to follow me with his motorcycle. I ran like speed. i catch up to friend A's house. i started yelling his name and friend A got out and responded "whats up?" I slowly whispered to him that theres a guy following me. The guy stoped right in front of my friends house, cursed, and drove away. i gave the papers to friend A. and he offered to take me back home. i accepted. going back home with my friend he didnt dare to come up to me. luckily nothing happened and I was safe. I hope that this is a warning to other young girls or guys to be more careful.

[@oliv2385]

i know this isn’t really a sexual harassment story but here we go it was around year 7/8 - grade 6/7 and i had to get 2 busses to school. the second dropped me round the corner but i had the option to get on a third one with my friends (who would already be on the bus when it arrived at my stop) and me being the lazy idiot i am i decided for a few months to get on that bus. occasionally my friends would get off earlier and go to the shop, so i would walk and meet them and we would get the next bus around 20 mins later. one day we decided to do that and when waiting at the stop, i kept saying i could smell piss. so i walked around and eventually got my phone torch - as it was quite early in the morning and dark - and shone it around. then i saw this man behind the stop, in a clearing of bushes leading to some sort of rugby club center and he was just there. pissing. looking at me. he appeared homeless and i just thought it was strange but not that weird since my school wasn’t in an extremely safe area. i brushed it off and we just got on the bus. a couple days, maybe a week later, my friends didn’t stop at the shop, so i was just at that stop waiting for the bus when the same man was walking down the street. i thought nothing of it assuming he slept near here, when i saw his pants were unbuttoned and his dick was hanging out. i did nothing and just kind of froze on the spot. (bear in mind the roads were nearly completely empty as it was even earlier in the morning than last time) and he just walked towards me and told next to me. i checked my watch - 4 minutes until the bus came and he was just there. i wanted to walk away and just wait at school, or walk to the next stop, but i couldn’t. i was such a fucking pussy i just stood there begging for something to happen. i waiter and waited and no bus came. i waited for 5 minutes and no bus came. that’s when he turned to look at me and walked closer, his head maybe 1 inch away from me, and his dick of my skirt. again, i didn’t move, i didn’t speak, i didn’t do anything. 10, 15 minutes went by with him just wanking next to me continuously. eventually i realised the bus wasn’t coming so i walked to school. i don’t know how, but i did. i got there and just waitress to get in when some kids asked if i’d had a shag before school and i realised the side of my skirt was covered in jizz. i just sat there and started sobbing whilst everyone laughed at me. i went to reception and got a new skirt and told the school. of course - of fucking course the school did fuck all about it. they don’t care about anyone at my school. no one. i told them and they said it was nothing, and don’t go to that bus stop again. so i didn’t. but because of the schools reaction i never told anyone else either. just know the men and women out there that do these things are discusting pieces of shit. evil, cruel people. and if something ever happens to you just know you’re stronger than them. you’re better. 💜

He was still very drunk from the party before enough to the point I got up and left with little to no resistance. I laughed it off with my friends at the time but over the years I've slowly realized it wasn't so harmless a situation as I thought it might be.

When I was 19 I was raped by a guy I was kind of seeing. We'd had sex before and this day we were just hanging out, he wanted to have sex and I didn't, not for any particular reason, I just didn't. Well I guess he didn't like that and disregarded my no's. I said I didnt want to multiple times but he was on top of me and forced himself between my legs. I thought if I fought it would be much worse for me in the end so I just gave in. He was much stronger than me and an athlete, (boxer or wrestler, I don't remember) so there is no way I would win that fight. He did what he wanted to do and I left and never saw him again. For almost 20 year I told no one because I thought it was my fault because I didn't really have a reason to turn him down for sex. To be completely honest I rarely thought about it because I just compartmentalized it and shoved it to the back of my brain and wanted to forget about it. It wasn't until a couple of years ago when all the Bill Cosby stuff was coming to light and all over the news ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME. that it made me think about it so much more and realize it wasn't my fault at all and actually realize I was raped. No one in my family knows only some close friends and strangers on posts like this. It's very odd how we automatically blame ourselves. Why do we do that? It's horrible.

So is like every girl including me got sexually harassed? Here's my story. I'm a spoiled brat well, at least when I was a kid I was a spoiled brat. This happened when I was 6 years old, I had my own personal nanny at that time. She was about 20 - 25 years old. My nanny always cared for me. She had a soft spot in my heart. Now, one time she dated my aunt's cousin who was at the same age as my nanny. One day, my nanny had her bday and my family lives in a compound where my other aunts and uncles live as well. My aunt decided to throw like mini party for my nanny and they got pretty drunk. I wanted to go there too since I was bored in my room, so I did. Keep in mind I was wearing shorts like... literally SHORTS. I didn't think much of what I would wear back then. When I went there every guy was drunk, including my nanny's boyfriend. The only sober one was my nanny and a few other people. I hangout with them and my nanny's bf tried to make me drink a shot of beer. Which my nanny disapproved of course. Then the food ran out and my nanny had to make some more. She left me there. Then my nanny's boyfriend called me in a room. He told me to turn the opposite way. Then he grabbed my hand and made me squish his "member". Which I didn't know at that time. But I felt weird and turned around. I was shocked and disgusted. I pushed him and ran away. My nanny found out and broke up with him. My aunt said not to tell anyone because it would cause a big fight. So I didn't. But that moment still haunts me. I'm 11 now. That moment happened when I was 6. I already told my mom but she said we can't do anything about since he already fled.

My husband recently discovered that skirts were super comfortable. "Why," he asks "would you EVER wear jeans when you can wear THESE." I think I'll just link him this video next time he asks... also, I suppose I should get him a kilt for Christmas.

AS an 11 year old, I have experienced something like this. This has calmed down now, but I was harrassed daily with sexual comments from this one boy. It is truly a horrifying experience

[@tk_ae0673]

I'm 12 years old, and ive gone through some sexual harassment which could had easily led to rape, but it happened when I was probably 7 or 6 and this guy was 12 at the time, I did tell my parents about it and we never visited them again at all after that. So it's ok for you to speak up now, if your scared it's ok because nothing bad will happen to you, just the person who did it to you. It may seem scary or hard but it's alright, and that goes the same thing with any other guys who try to have their way with you, be careful. I seem like a stranger on the internet, but I'm young and stupid lol so I can't do anything, even if I did I know it's bad. But for you, fellow 11 year old, if anything happens like that again, don't be afraid to speak up or fight back against it. All those comments too, you shouldn't have to worry just don't talk to them or respond to them if you feel like their dangerous, just be safe on who you are responding to

I was sexually assaulted, multiple times, by the same guy. After many months of fretting over it, I went to the police. The took me into a holding cell and questioned me as if I was a criminal. Then they made me write a 'victim statement', at which point the officer reminded me to be sure that I was "being honest". I left feeling like I had done something wrong. Months went by, and I didn't hear anything. I finally followed up, and they had closed my case without even telling me. "He said - she said", apparently. I found out many years later that he was a registered sex offender. And my case was thrown out anyway. *sigh*

When I was 7/8 I was in Sainsbury's with my mum. I was alone looking at the toys while she paid for the shopping. I noticed a man was following me so zigzagged through the aisles to get back to my mum. He followed and went behind us in the queue. I thought this was odd as he didn't have any shopping, but then he skipped ahead of the queue and headed to the toilets, but on the way he grabbed my ass. My 8 year old ass. It was in the car I asked my mum why that man touched my bum, and my mum flipped out, marched me back into the store and spoke to the security. He had left the toilets, and there was nothing they could do. A few years later when I was 15 I was sexually abused at a party, i was drunk and two boys forcefully assaulted me. Two years later an old man at a park touches me up whilst I'm sat on a bench walking my dogs. The world is a perverted place and fortunately I don't remember much of what happened, but this KZbin video triggered a memory of the man in Sainsbury's. we've only been able to contact the police for the man at the park - due to memory issues snd security - but there's never any justice. People get away with disgusting shit and it's not okay

[@Kamari_26]

Please tell someone about these kind of things

[@nutfeel]

This is an old video but watching it made me remember something that happened to me about 7-8 years ago. (I'm 18 now and I've had several head injuries and i forget/remember things suddenly.) So i was about 9-10 years old and my mother had friends from a church, we all lived together, my family of 6 and their family of 4. I'm not gonna lie, we used to think they were awesome people, so awesome that we called them "uncle" and "aunt" even though we aren't related by blood. On that specific day, we were in his son's room watching a movie, it was dark and late out but it was summer so we didn't care. When my "uncle" came home he joined us. He sat uncomfortably close to me, on the couch that was in the room. I didn't think much of it because i had never been uncomfortable around him so i thought it was just me being weird. He then put his disgusting hands on my body and he touched me. I was so shocked and i was little, so of course my mother taught me that i should NEVER let anybody touch me. i tried my hardest to get up but he grabbed me and told me to stay. I obviously didn't want to and i kept pulling my arm, i just wanted to get out of there and i kept saying no, but he had a strong grip and i was only small. He tried bribing me with the toys and candy he had brought home. He did all this while my younger siblings and his very young sons were still in the room. When he finally let go of me i ran out and into my room. I cried for weeks, even now i think about it sometimes and just cry. I'm not over it, it was only recently i told someone, my brother. I never told my mother, or his wife, not even internet buddies. But your video made me feel like it was time, even if only strangers see this, i guess its only small steps for now. Maybe one of these days I'll finally get the help i need. Edit: I also wanted to add that when i was younger i absolutely loved going to church. But that specific event made me absolutely hate it. I stopped doing things that i loved for a very long time, didn't even go to high school for a whole year because i kept trying to forget. This is why i had several brain injuries, because I've tried to hurt myself. I went through a time where i just hurt myself any way possible. Ofc my mother noticed but she doesn't think that our generation has anything to complain about and that depression for young people doesn't exist because of our easy life. Which is why i haven't gotten any help, i grew up learning that and i have trouble talking about what I'm feeling or thinking which is also another reason why I haven't reached out to anyone (since I'm legally an adult now and can shoose to do so) But now I'm realizing that i DO need help, i don't know how long it will take for me to actually get the help but if anyone else is going through/went through anything similar, help?

[@calonstanni]

I'm 56. Almost all of the men I've ever met (not ALL men thankfully) have minimized the abuse I've experienced from males from the moment I could remember. I was taught (by EVERYone...family, friends, clergy, teachers, boyfriends, girlfriends, bosses) that all of the harassment, stalking, threats, grabbing, lewd comments weren't "abuse" because I wasn't physically hurt. It was always implied that I, as a woman, was supposed to expect that from men because ... "boys will be boys" mentality (?).... and because I smiled too much, walked after dark, wore the wrong clothes, sat alone, etc. It's changing though. Slowly. And MAN people are PISSED! But I'm grateful for the #metoo movement and all the other women, like you, who speak out. It helps. It really does. I'm sooo sorry this happened to you but you helped humiliate this asshole (and SCARE him too ) and I bet he rethinks his attempts to do this again. That's Badass.

[@miiamariikiisel1470]

[@chloevaillant9430]

Some men try to understand but the only men I know that really does was sexually abused when he was a kid. Not all women understand though, some minimized it too, they think they can defend themselves or that saying no is enough to stop it. All the people I know that have been assaulted were too shocked to react.

[@courtneylove9140]

This is horrible and reading all these comments is truely heartbreaking. I dont have a serious story like the other brave people here but I do know the worry and panic of being a woman and feeling like you're a victim. I personally have a large chest and butt and when I go out places no matter what I wear whether it be a short dress or a turtleneck I always have boys and men staring at me and getting close to me and its a horrible feeling. They will stare at my chest or butt and have a look of pure lust on their faces which is terrifying if I'm ever alone cause I feel like I'm in constant danger. I truely hope one day we can live in a world where women and men can walk around freely without having to feel like they're in danger

[@leok2514]

Yeah, I understand completely, this sort of thing happens to me at times. There was one guy at Walmart that got pretty close to me and he was trying to be flirty. The thing is, I`m a young teenager, and he looked about 24. I didn`t even notice the red flags until my mother told me in the car that the guy was looking me up and down and being a perv and I was glad that she was there to protect me.

[@juanitamelendez9295]

I know this video was a while ago, and I'm watching it now. It woke up a memory that I had buried in the depths of my soul. It is a horrible feeling, especially when people disregard it or blame it on you. Like, "you were asking for it." Why? Because I'm a human being that breathes and walks? Or because I attracted the other person? Many years ago, I was involved in a domestic violence situation with my abusive ex-boyfriend. I was still in my pajamas and covered in beer, and waiting in the courthouse to get a restraining order. The officer that took the case gave me a ride and touched me inappropriately to find out if I had a bra. It was horrible. I was only 18 at the time. And the worst is I didn't tell anyone because I was so hurt and afraid. Now that I think back I get angry I didn't say anything when I should have. It is not funny at all. Things like this happen all the time and get disregarded. That is why some people just don't report it. Then, these predators keep doing it to other people. They keep escalating because they never get caught, and then you see them in the news and think: how can someone do something like that? Well, there it is.

[@mysteriousartist1231]

This reminds me of when my teacher was really touchy with me I would were tights and leggings and lose kinda low cut shirts and button ups because that's what I find to be most comfy in cuz i have really thick legs and a bigger chest area not that it should matter and I have even be told by my mom to be careful because of our looks but anyway their were days when he would touch my shoulder back an just make me feel like I was constantly stared at mind u I was 12 but their was one day. It got kinda bad I was just sitting down and I guess he "accidentally " drop something but when he grabbed down to get it .he literally put his hand half way up my thigh and squeezed it an pressed on it for support and when he got up he gave me this really creepy smile maybe I'm overreacting but it just made me so weird an scared like I wood truly dread going to his class every other day because we have even and odd days but it really sucks

Oh gosh. I’m so late to this but I’m glad I found your channel. I’m a long term child sexual abuse/ rape male survivor and I’ve had experiences similar to this. In public I’ve had grown men try to lure me away from my family, by asking for me (a minor) to help him into the city and another asking if I wanted a popsicle to get inside his house. For obvious reasons I didn’t follow through with the advances due to my past history and fear of other men. It’s extremely disheartening to be a male and feel as if my own innocence as a child was taken away and any sense of masculinity is gone. I’m a young adult now and I’m still attempting to recover from the years of trauma but hearing other people’s stories helps me realize I’m not alone. Thank you.

i remember last year i went to the store, i always take a shortcut through one quiet street behind the store, (its not a dirty street or anything, just not many people go through there) i was wearing a oversides shirt and some shorts so it from a far it looked like i only had i shirt. i was 16 and when i was going from the store (i just bought some chips that i carried in my hand) two guys from one paert of ste street started cat calling at me stuff like "kitten come here! Come over to us!" i speed walked around the corner to the more opened part of the street and ran there, and there i saw two old guys, tho guys could be my granpas and they first seemed to try ask in broken czech/englis (this is czech republic so i thought they were foreiners and tried to help) where the store is but that the one talking basically got out of him a "You, come , home, me and friend?" and i went pale, they worded it in a way as if i was a stupid horny girl. I said no multiple times and speed walked away. i should ad i get very anxious (im going to see a profesional if i actually have anxiety) and my anxousnes was at the level of 100 at the point of cat calling and than these two old men aproach and i calm down a big thinging they just want to find the store just so make me even more anxious again. My fight or flight reflex never sreamed RUN this loudly. But what just maked me more anxious is the fact that im pretty chubby (so people would probably say thick) so i cant run much, and i was damn 16. Around the corner from that street was a high school! who in their right mind would cat call around a school? and what type of a sick b*****d do you have to be to try and pick up girls there?!

[@HeyItsDarci]

When I was 17 I started dating this guy (my first boyfriend) and shortly after he became very abusive. My anxiety and mental health was at it's worst and I'd trust him with knowing my triggers. Ex. Men yelling, fighting, touching my thighs, and being in the dark. He would then play on those triggers either to get a "funny" reaction out of me or to have a false sense of control over me. One week, my family went out of town and I invited him over for the night. That night, he decided with himself and himself only that it was the night I was going to lose my virginity. At first it started with him saying "If you loved me you would have sex with me" (we had been dating for a month) and then turning into him flat out saying "you're home alone. Your family is gone. If I really want to, I can just rape you and get my way" I still denied and he tried to force me to do oral despite me begging "No" and crying. Things like this make it hard to not blame yourself. Stay Strong!

When I was 18 I went to a bar with my mom and her friend to be a designated driver. I have social anxiety and at one point tried sitting outside to calm down. These two girls kept talking to this drunk guy and looking at me. I knew they were talking about me and I kept hearing this guy say "I dont want to get in trouble. I dont wanna get punched. No." Somehow they convinced him to come up to me and touch my chest for no reason besides the fact they thought it would be funny. I did what I could to get him away from me as soon as possible and I regret not actually punching him or telling the bar owners. That happened 3 years ago and I still refuse to go into a bar. Never again

[@maesaliva]

I have a small story, nothing big. A few years ago, when I was turning 11, my family took me to Peru. It was fun, but I wanted to do something outside of the jungle, so we stayed in a city (Lima? Something like that) which my parents kept warning me was really shady. One day, we went to a park full of stray cats which people fed (And were a big part of the park). I love cats and this was my favorite part of the trip. I kept skipping around and petting and playing with the cats, who were a bit shy as wild cats but used to people. I don’t remember this very well, but at one point this guy (who looked like he lived there) saw me, a blonde haired blue eyed ten year old with a white family and an American accent, playing with a bunch of cats and having a good time. Apparently, he started to follow me for awhile. Also, this guy looked like he was in his 30’s and wasn’t just a teen being weird. My dad didn’t talk to him (or at least as I remember it) but he called him out to my family and pointed to him. I guess this guy noticed my dad pointing to him, because he sat down on a bench and minded his own business after that until we left. Back then, I didn’t know what sexual harassment was and thought he was going to kidnap me (I didn’t know what people did when they got kidnapped either. I just though they tied the victim up and acted like a bad guy. I didn’t know what sex was, either) and I didn’t realize what was actually going on or how creepy this guy was. Since then, I have faked profiles of young children looking to date online and caught predators, which has helped me to see what a creep does when they think the other one is interested. They’re all astonishingly similar. I realize online predators and physical sexual harassment aren’t the same thing, but they’re similar enough. It’s honestly fascinating as well as disguising to pretend to be 13 and like you want to date someone. Why?
