I am 16 years old, I was 13 when I got sexually assaulted by a boy a few years older than me that went to my school. My experience has given me the kick I needed and I feel very passionate about helping others that have experienced similar events to me. People look down on me because I am young. When my case went to court he got not proven as I live in Scotland and there was apparently not enough evidence even though I had seen doctors after the assault and they had backed up my account of what happened. All I want is justice. I have had girls tell me I am a slut because of what happened and that I could have ruined this boy’s life. People tell me to move on but it unbelievably hard to forget something so dramatic and life changing.

I just want to tell you that anyone who tells you to just move on or forget what happened is not worth listening to about this. You’re right, not only is it unbelievably hard, I think it is impossible. What happened to you changed your life and you have the right to feel anything an everything you need to feel. I want you to know that I believe in you and your ability to help others. Survivors rarely get the justice they seek, but I have no doubt you will make your own justice by helping others who have similar experiences to you. You are very brave and I am inspired by your passion.
