I’m 14 years old and I’m concerned that I was abused by my brother as a child. I don’t remember how old I was, I barely remember anything, but I know my brother was old enough to understand what was happening. I remember that because he had braces and I think he got those in 5th or 6th grade, so he understood it was wrong. I vividly remember us kissing, but not like siblings do, like alone and intensely. I know that was wrong, but it can’t be considered sexual abuse, can it? I’m also worried he did something else to me, but I can’t remember it at all. Please help.

I think your question is important, and there can be all sorts of complicated definitions in this situation and I wouldn’t want to give you the wrong information. Maybe you can submit a private contact form with more details to the Brave Miss World team? I think acknowledging the confusion and worry you feel is important and worth talking about with someone. If it is easier, you can chat online with someone from RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) who will having the training and knowledge to answer your specific questions at online.rainn.org.
