Stories about sa by older brothers always hurt so much. My brother and I love each other as much as siblings do, and I can’t fathom him ever doing something to hurt me, especially sa, I’ve always felt so comfortable around him and like we’re friends. The idea that some kids live in fear of their older brothers hurts so much and cuts so deeply for me. It makes me so angry that any brother would do anything that gross or despicable, that some people are so robbed of sibling affection in place of something so horrific.

I was a very cheerful and outgoing child. I would even sneak out just to play tag or fly kites with my friends. (1) I was 4 years old (wearing a purple dress) and my father's youngest sibling was still around highschool. He would offer that he'd let me play on his phone as long as I followed him in his room. He would forcefully pin me down making me face a wall while music was blasting so nobody could hear me cry. He never put it in but he would always stretch my butt and rub against me. It continued for a few months and my parents were always in the room besides his. I was so traumatized that my brain had basically deleted a portion of my memories from when I was 4 and only remembered when I was 10. (2) a year after the first incident so I was 5 (a shirt and a skirt that reached below my knees). My cousin [15-16] said he was sleepy and that he wanted to sleep with me in exchange for his gameboy so I said okay.[*at the time I couldn't remember the first incident*] He was silent at first but then he lifted my skirt covered my mouth and rubbed against my legs. I was terrified but I didn't say a thing about it. I've been seeing them almost everyday since I lived across the street. I don't know if they remember. Even when we moved I never had the courage to open up to my parents. My mother had thought that I was trying too hard to match my sexuality but in reality I'm just afraid to wear skirts and dresses. Even shorts make hyper-aware of people. Ever since then the thought of talking to family members or anyone related to my family makes my heart race and I'd have a hard time breathing till people were out of sight. (especially with someone who's older than me)

What I was wearing: A long sleeved shirt, with all the buttons closed, shirt tucked in. A tie, jumper and a blazer. Long trousers. Long socks underneath. Only my face, neck and hands were exposed. It was a standard British secondary school uniform. I was 14 in year 10. It happened in school.

[@Randal_ivoryy]

I am so sorry that happened to you

[@MinisDunyasi5]

@@Randal_ivoryy Thank you. I feel a bit better. But the it happened recently. When I reported what happened they only warned the boys who sexually assaulted me. Not much happened to my abusers. So it kept on happening. I was victim blamed for it. I have no friends, my classmates were laughing at me as I was getting sexually assaulted and sexually harassed. Here’s the full story: Most of it happened in my biology class, in front of the teacher she was hearing and seeing and she LET IT HAPPEN. I told her I was being sexually harassed and sexually assaulted during her class. She told me to “use better words” because “sexual harassment” and “sexual assault” are strong accusations. But I was being sexually harassed and sexually assaulted, I WASN’T EXAGGERATING. She said I should say they were “bothering” me because I was “distracting them”. I asked her how I could be distracting them because I was wearing my school uniform. I never even wore a skirt to school because of how often I was being sexually harassed and sexually assaulted while wearing trousers. The problem definitely wasn’t the clothes. She commented on how the make up I was wearing was giving them the wrong impression. The only thing on my face was foundation and setting spray. And CLOTHES AND MAKE UP DON’T EQUAL CONSENT. She said I should stop distracting them and never warned those who were sexually harassing and sexually assaulting me. I told her if my make up distracts them, that says more about the lesson and her teaching. She said “boys will be boys” “guys have natural tendencies that are impossible to manage”. There was no point in talking to her. But when I talked to the school the school didn’t do much either. They even asked me what I was wearing. Because of this my sexual harassment and sexual assault continued for 2 months. It happened IN SCHOOL mostly in biology class WHEN THE TEACHER HEARD AND SAW IT BUT DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. The only reason it ended was because summer break came. I’ve been told that they were “warned” during the last week of school, after continuing for 2 months. planning on changing schools. I don’t want to worry about my safety in school. TLDR: I was being sexually harassed and assaulted during my biology class. The teacher saw and heard everything but didn’t warn the ones who hurt me, instead she victim blamed me and slut shamed me.

I was 7 when it happened to me. I was with a boy in my neighborhood and all the other kids in the neighborhood were stuck with homework, so I was left alone with him. He groomed me, and because of my innocence I didn't know what was happening, so reluctantly after I had said "no" multiple times, I said yes just to get him off my back. I hadn't told anyone about it until I was 12 and had long since moved away. I was wearing a swimsuit and a skirt, I used to wear that every summer because I lived in Georgia at the time, and it was very hot outside.

[@gigilouie9422]

It must have been summer time and I just then graduated kindergarten so I couldn’t have been much older than 6. My dad went on business trips and my mom worked long night shifts. My dad hated the idea of babysitters but since it was family he trusted them enough. I was being taken care of by my female older cousin and her older siblings. I remember falling asleep while I watching NICK Jr and sometime during the night I woke up and my older male cousin was on top of me and I saw my other female older cousin that was supposed to be taking care of me, watching from the door way.

Honestly as I got older in life the more I realized that I was assaulted. Of course it wasn’t nearly anything as bad as other people have dealt with (although if my mom hadn’t stopped it, it may have gotten bad) I don’t remember what I was wearing. I don’t even remember how old I was. I just know I was a child. And he was a child too My brother and I always fought but one day, I don’t remember what led to it but he was licking my chest. I didn’t think much of it at the time. I didn’t know what sex was and I thought this was us finally bonding and getting along. That’d happen for I don’t know how long before I went to change in the bathroom and my brother came in. And I told him to get out. And then my mom intervened and lectured him. He would then after occasionally touch my clothed chest with his hand trying to disguise it as giving me a pat. But eventually that ended. Nothing was ever reported since he was my brother and only a year older. Also it was years ago and hasn’t did anything like that ever since. Besides I’m probably the only one in my family that remembers that it happened since it wasn’t full on r*pe and as far as I’m aware hasn’t even really traumatized me like how others have been affected

[@fandom_fixations582]

I got to thinking, through all of the blame I had to go through from the people I thought I could trust, what actually happened? The first time it happened, I was around 8, wondering around my local Hobby Lobby with my mother when I suddenly got lost. I cant remember what happened between everything, but I remember coming to with a man holding me still in the back of the store. I ran to my mom, scared and crying, telling her I didn't know what happened, because at that age, I didn't. The second time it happened, followed by the third and fourth, were all by the same person when I was 11-12. A boy at my school had been groping all of the girls when I decided to fight him. He dragged me to the bathroom and smothered me with my own school uniform shirt. The next thing I knew, I was laying on the bathroom floor with my pants disturbed and my head throbbing. The third, he did the same thing only I was found before waking and was blamed for being assaulted. My counselor who I had trusted, asked me what I was wearing. My school had a strict dress code, with uniform shirts, long pants, and no skin showing (couldn't show knees, shoulders, cleavage, ankles even) so being asked this took me by suprise. What I had been wearing was my shirt, part of the uniform, and some jeans that were ripped during the struggle. I was blamed for wearing my school uniform and still getting raped. This happened one more time, the exact same thing, and my parents never knew. The fifth time was my boyfriend. He had many issues, as did I, at the age of 12, and he ended up pinning me to the bathroom wall and raping me, all while I was conscious, only I couldn't say anything because he had a weapon and I knew it. The most resent time was just a few months ago, I was walking my therapy dog Goose, who is trained to never bite or anything. I was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt as I was sick with a cold. This random boy is on his scooter and he starts riding next to me asking me weird, perverse questions. I ignored him and didn't say anything, but he took this as invitation. He tackled me and started undressing me when my dog Goose, who wasn't even 1 year old, bit his leg until he bled. I struggled to stand up but I knew I had to because I had been laying on the side of the road. Goose immediately checked on me and wouldn't leave me alone (as she's trained to do) for the rest of the week. I only ever saw that boy one more time, and that was when he tried talking to me at school, but I promptly kicked him. I don't know what would have happened if Goose wasn't there that day, because I know that boy had access to drugs and weapons, so I owe it all to my dog who helped me recover.

Sweetheart, please tell a trusted adult. Whether it’s a teacher, parent, a friend’s parent, or other family member, please tell.

[@Quesoquantum]

Tell someone. Tell an adult, tell the police, tell someone. Don't suffer in silence. You deserve closure. Thank you for sharing :)

[@EmoGermaphobe]

I was assaulted several times by my older brother when I was younger. My parents only found out this month because I accidentally let it slip that I was sexually abused. They called la DPJ and he was taken away. I always trusted him and I still do. I miss him a lot but both of us understand that what he did was wrong.

[@Glapizoid]

(1) tank top and shorts, probably the usual for child me. we were the same age, kindergarten. I feel horrible, i jus hope he wasnt experiencing anything at home.. I never wore shorts or tank tops or even skirts ever again. i was too scared. (2) a shirt with a cat on it that says “i hate you.”, a hoodie around my waist and black leggings. I still have the shirt, just sitting there in my drawer.. idk what to do with it. Everytime i see it, i want to cry. these experiences make me feel so guilty, like i should’ve done something. I always feel disgusted with myself when im reminded. (I wasnt r4p3d any of these times, sexual assault more like.)

[@rosemarie1817]

Well, you still didn't deserve it, I hope that you'll be able to talk to someone and get past this, please don't let this ruin your life❤

I'm scared. I've walked to and from the park in my neighborhood countless times in the dark, alone. I haven't been hurt before but the fact that I might be at the community pool, they might not have a bathroom, and j might have to walk home alone, in a swimsuit. It scares me. Just putting my new swimsuit on yesterday to get wet with out those was uncomfortable untill I got used to it. People are horrible

[@dea20-08]

[@trixfox45]

Idk what I was wearing or how old exactly I was (probably 4-5years) and i never really remembered it as bad, because nothing really happened. I don't remember much but, My brothers old friend would molest me ,yes even in my brothers room. I eventually told my mom and my mom kicked him out instantly and my brother was also angry at him. His excuse was that he was only touching me ,nothing more. Like I said I don't remember much of it, only that it happened and life continued after that. (I do think it might be the reason why I am so uncomfortable with my body today, but I don't know )

[@nicolelol2728]

I was wearing black cargo pants and a oversized black vans t shirt with my favorite vans jacket. I still have the clothes I was wearing when it happened somewhere in my closet

[@AutisticKittyStar]

Mostly PJ's, my school uniform with either skirt or trousers, and mostly wore jeans and a t-shirt sometimes skirts and dresses (mostly gothic or emo clothes). From 10 to 28 by my nephew who is 3 years younger than me (I'm 30 this year, I spoke out in 2021 and haven't seen him since) I wasn't raped but he would have sexually charged conversations with me, the first time was at my sister's house, I started my period at 10 and my sister didn't know and she put me and my nephew in the bath together, he kept asking me about my body and why it was different and kept staring, a few years later, when I was 11 to 12, him and my sister moved in because they had no where to go, he started showing porn and that "2 girls, 1 cup" video, (Just to note, I'm Autistic). I didn't want to watch porn because the idea of sex scared me but he kept showing me it, one time my sister bought a sex book to read with her boyfriend and my nephew would show me the book. I always felt uncomfortable and gross. He eventually moved out but would come visit a lot and stayed over in my room and wanted to sleep in my bed with me. When I was 15, he started asking me for sex, I would say no but he'd keep going on about how he's not had a girlfriend and started taking pics under the covers of his p*nis, the pics were dark but he asked me to do the same, he didn't see anything but it still felt like I was violated, after I got a boyfriend it mostly stopped but he would make weird comments to my boyfriend like "she's difficult to wake up". My boyfriend thought it was weird but just thought "maybe he meant because she fell asleep while watching a film or something" so brushed it off. It got even weirder when he want to sleep in the same room as me and my boyfriend when I move in with my boyfriend, 18 years old, after when my boyfriend left, 23 to 24, I moved back in with my parents when I was alone my nephew would ask for sex I would say no, always no, it got to the point where he would be mad at me because I said no. He stayed with us for 6 weeks, everyday... One day during that time he wanted us to touch ourselves in front of each other, I said no. He kept going on about it, I said I would make him a video (I was trying to do anything to appease him).. he said no to that, he wanted to see a real v*gina, so I said I would show him my p*bes and he sais ok.. so I did and he shown me his. After he didn't talk to me for days and went home, I felt disgusting, so horrible. The sad thing is.. in 2020 to 2021 he was arrested for exchanging CP of kids from under 1 years old to 15 years old (he has a sister who is 3 years old now and was obsessed with her) to other paedophiles on Discord, Kik etc... So the first place he said he wanted to stay was with me and my parents, and when he stayed with us, it started again, the sexually charged conversations... That was when he told me that, when he would sleep next to me to on the floor in my room, he would get off while I was sleeping... And because he said to my boyfriend that I was "difficult to wake up", I have no idea what else he did while I was sleeping.... In 2021, I went to CBT for suicidal thoughts and self harm, I finally got the courage to speak out about what happened and my parents kicked him out. He not allowed to come near me and he said to my mum "I'm glad to see the back of her" like I was in the wrong.. My family supported me and I got PTSD therapy. (I'm back with my boyfriend now husband) and I'm much happier now...

[@YDS_amour_F0R3V3R]

I don't know if this is considered abuse... But one time I was at my sister's 15th party, everything was very nice... I was wearing a lilac dress.. And cute black shoes... my great uncle got drunk he carried me to a table and almost kissed me... my aunt just stopped my great uncle before he kissed me... THANKS TO HIM my anxiety got worse.

[@weallluvclifford]

i was 10 when i got sa'd, he was 16, i just wanted to talk to him about this anime i had watched, but he wanted more from me, he even threatened to tell my boyfriend at the time, and tell my parents, and friends, but he wouldn't if i sent him pics. They always say its our fault, even if we were 5, or 4, or under that, its our fault.

[@weallluvclifford]

The first time I was wearing a flowery crop top, and some pink shorts, and then I was wearing a shirt with matching pants, they both had donuts on them and my mom just bought them for me, I am now 15, and I still own both of them, I never really grew out of my clothes from then, so I still wear them, and it took a while but I've gotten over it, I had horrible nightmares and had to sleep with my mom forever

[@ElectricBoogaloo]

I was 8. I was wearing black leggings, a gray shirt with a pink heart on it, and a gray jacket with more pink hearts on it. He was my friend's brother.

[@WhatEvenTheHellIsThat]

I wasnt raped but i was assaulted, probably around 2 years ago. My brothers friends where over and this particular friend had been over at least 10 times before. He is 3 years older than me, almost 4 and when we where talking in my room he forcefully kissed me. It was and is my only kiss. I pushed him back and started yelling for him to leave my room.I guess he didnt want to make a scence because he left. I had never thought of him in that way and i still go though the events leading up to it and the events after in my head, trying to belive it wasnt my fault. I know its not my fault, and its nothing compared to what some people have gone through but it makes me feel so violated every time it crosses my mind. Every time he came over after that I avoided him and would lock my self in my room, not being able to look at him. My brother confronted me a week or two later telling me his friend has been telling people we slept together and my brother wanted to hear what happened, because again im only 12 and his friend almost 16(im also not like that at all) I told him he tried to kiss me and i rejected him. I said he must be but hurt i dont want to date him and that he was lieing about us sleeping together. The only person ive told the truth to is my best friend. I dont understand why he would lie about that, why he didn't ask for concent, why he likes a 12 year old. I still start feaking out if i hear my brother say hes having friends over, hopeing it not him. I was wearing striped sleep pants and a care bears tee shirt.

[@obliviient1689]

[@Farahguerrieranaica]

when I told you that I hate that question like wym what were you wearing? whether she/he was wearing just an underwear does that indicate that they wanted it. the first time I was wearing my school uniform thinking that I would be safe but ig I was wrong. till this day I kept on thinking whether or not my uniform was writing that I wanted it or not. and the fact that it was done by someone I thought that I could trusted killed me

Not the r word but here's my story I was in the bus, I was wearing my favorite oversized hoodie. My hair was short short. I was hugging my school backpack when an old man sat near me and placed his hand on my leg. Because I was hugging my backpack and my clothes were so baggy, the people sitting in front didn't notice. I texted my classmate who was also in the bus with me and suddenly said oht loud making sure everyone heard me: "CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE YOUR HAND OFF OF MY THIGH?!" And got up just in time for my friend hinting at me to go and taking me from there

I was wearing velour both times. At 17 it was a deacon at my church school and I was in sweat pants and a t-shirt. At 30 it was a pair of shorts and a very different though still oversized t-shirt and that time it was my uncle. He was supposed to help fix my car.

from the ages of 13-15 my father would slap my butt whenever i gave him a hug. not playfully or softly he would slap it to the point where it stung afterwards. still to this day i dont know if i should classify it as sexual assault, or if im just overreacting. but each and everytime i was just wearing either a t-shirt or a hoodie and nike shorts. every single time.

These are disgusting. People themself make me disgusted I feel like I want to just bully them but I know that’s not right. For the people who felt this it’s not your fault never was it’s not right for someone to control you and your body.

my SA was in the locker room in eighth grade, I was 13 and she was supposed to be a good friend of mine. I was changing in a shower stall and she came over which was normal since we would talk with one another even when changing. She grabbed my breasts, I slapped her and walked away, I was fully clothed and she grabbed my behind as well as my breasts again. I told her to stop and she did but a couple of minutes later she did it again. No one else cared in that locker room and everyone asked if I was gay and because of that everyone thinks I'm gay when in reality I never wanted any of it and wish I never went to school. I came home crying and my own mother didn't even care and I've only told my closest friends, never my family. Nobody has ever asked me the question of what I was wearing when I told my close friends, they just comforted me and shared their stories with me too.

[@duz_machines_8429]

I recently got into a heated argument with my dad and younger sister about clothing. They argued that people should dress modestly so as to not tempt people and that knowingly wearing something that tempts people is a sin. They said that people (women) who wear revealing clothes are objectifying themselves, and that makes them (dad and sister) uncomfortable. So I should just not exist because my very existence tempts at least one person? Should I just never leave the house because I know that no matter what I wear, someone is going to be tempted? Should I just never wear anything that shows any skin because it makes YOU uncomfortable to wear something like that?

It makes me so sad to see that you can’t prevent something like this and the worst part was probably the 4 year old by her brother😭.

They are destroying life’s and also if they really want s*x then why don’t the go to a prostitute
