was 14 years old, I was walking home from school in the middle of summer, my dress went past my knees and was like a sack, there was nothing provocative about me. I stopped in at a bathroom at the local park. All I needed was to pee. I didn’t hear him enter, God I didn’t hear him. I came out of the toilet and there he was, he told me that he’d show me what happens to bad girls. I tried to fight him.off as he grabbed me, but he pushed me backwards and I hit him my head so hard on the sink, I was stunned and that’s when everything happened, I cried and screamed but no one heard me, no one helped. I went home afterwards and showered about 6 times. I was dirty, I hated myself. I developed depression and EDNOS as a result. I was sick and dying from what happened, and ashamed. 3 years later, I spoke out, I became strong, a survivor not a victim anymore. I’m still alive and fighting back.

Hi ‘Just a Kid’
Thanks for your post
I am attending university and one of the compulsory courses was sociology where one of the lectures was about toilet block sex. The lecturer spoke from the bias of what I believe is called “queer theory”. I had to get up and leave the room as it was too hard to bear listening to this type of activity being portrayed in a positive light (sexual experimentation)
As a child I was, on more than one occasion, taken against my will by people who then acted out their sexual lusts/fantasies on me. Like you, I am still alive!!! And I intend to tell my story and it was good to hear yours
keep up the good fight
Blessings
Tassy
love you
Keep fighting!!
I am so proud of you for fighting to get your life back. The shame you feel is his and not yours; you did absolutely nothing wrong. Keep fighting and working. I know you will have an amazing life ahead of you!
You are an inspiration to ALL you are the true survivors of this dog eat dog world! I take my hat off to you
You are stronger than you think you are keep pushing yourself
