It all happened 7 months ago. My piano coach came over one day to help me with my recital. An my mom and dad were out of town so it was just me and my piano teacher. At first everything was cool then we decided to take a little break. So I went upstairs to my rooms then he follows he pushes me on the bed. He started lifting up my skirt and pulling down my panties. I begged and screamed for him to stop got he didn’t. The physical pain hurt so bad that I went numb and blacked out. When I woke up I was naked and my neighbor he was on top of me and my piano teacher was just watching. They took turns with me flipping me and using different positions it felt like it lasted for days. After they got done my piano teacher told me to clean up so we can finish the lesson. Every time he’s at my house, I cant breathe. Every time he touches me I feel like crying. But sharing my story gives me the confidents to tell my parents.

Hi Kandy,
I want you to know that your story brought me to tears. These were not tears of sadness, but tears because I am grateful that sharing your story here gave you the confidence to tell your parents. Talking about our experiences can be very difficult and it takes a lot of courage and bravery to speak out. So the fact that sharing your story with Brave Miss World helped you find the strength to tell your parents absolutely made my day. I don’t know if you’ve watched the trailer for Brave Miss World on the homepage of this site, but the first words are “Speak Out. Speak Loud. Speak Together.” Stories like yours show that the movement is making the right impact. I am thinking of you and sending you lots of love. I hope that by telling your parents you will never have to see this man again and that you can find some justice. Light, love, and solidarity to you.
