Do I need to get over myself?
Ava
It happened in eight grade during my Algebra II class. When the teacher assigned seating, I ended up sitting between two boys. At first they seemed nice enough but they always made sexual jokes and I just sort of laughed along with them.
Eventually one of them began trying to grab at me from under the table, going for my knee first and closer to my crotch. This went on for about a month. He basically told dirty jokes, and was grabbing me and touching me from beneath the table.
I sort of just stomped on his foot the first time he touched me. It didn’t stop him and I could never think of anything else to do except just kick him from under the table. I don’t know why I just sort of froze every time and I’d think I was just exaggerating things.
I still think I’m just exaggerating and that no one needs to know about this. Eventually he got moved to another period and I was moved to another table. Through out that time I’d just leave school flustered, depressed and feeling dirty. That same year my thyroid got messed up. I don’t know if the teacher noticed anything odd or it was just coincidence. I have never told anyone until now. I’ve tried to tell a friend but I could never go through with it.
I try to convince myself that it wasn’t as bad as what happens to other people so and that I just need to try and forget about it. Though I saw him around high school a lot and some of my friends were friends with him I could never be in the space as he was. He didn’t even know who I was.
Am I taking this too seriously and just need to get over myself? I’m a freshman in college now and I think about it often, usually it’s triggered by something. I’m just confused on what I should have done and how I should feel.
Hi,
My name’s Veasna or you call me Joseph is my nickname.
I just read your story, and I feel like I need to say something.
Regarding to a man that you really need to be your side for the rest of your life, who needs to respect you and your decision. Who needs to study and care about you than care of having sex. Sharing and caring with respecting each other is the keys to maintain the relationship for last long because mind is very important.
Anyway, saying about your tyriod, I am not sure what kind of it you have, but I want to tell you that ” Don’t worry about it too much, alright”. Do you know that there are a lot of people in this world have everything, so what’s the differences? Nothing differences. The thing is, we are human, soone or later we all will die, so what is the difference?
Let me tell you what is the difference?
The difference is you might be much better than who does not have ill, who wasting their lives for living. Right now you’re going to have specific career, then you will have a bette future. You will do everything to succeed your goals. That what and who you are. Trust me alright.
One more thing, don’t tell anyone about your thing because it might be drama. It’s no need to let them know. You see friends can be enemies sometimes, but if you want to tell someone, make sure it will not be mystery later on. YOu gotta trust him/her, and he/she have to give trust to you too.
Alright, good lady, please take a good care yourself, and stop worrying about these and that ok. Be happy :)
It happened! Just stick to the facts. You’re not exaggerating. They touched you. You firmly tried to stop their advances. They repeated. I had the same experience. No matter how casual or jokingly it happens, it happened!
