Original story
no matter how mundane it seemed at the moment, or how your friends or family made you feel, you are so valid.
healing is being able to acknowledge that something traumatic happened while teaching yourself to move past it
i dont even know how to start this. when i was in 9th grade, a boy joined my friend group. i thought he was okay at first, but then he revealed his true colors. i witnessed him put his hands down other boys pants in front of multiple other students and teachers. people treated it as a joke. he began asking me and my other friend, name (we're both girls) to film porn so he could jerk off to it "as a joke." i was always uncomfortable with this, but when i protested everyone treated me like i was overreacting. couple weeks later i was laying on a giant table in our woodworking room because it was the end of class, when i noticed a shadow over me. it was him. he leaned down over me and placed his hands next to my head and said, and i quote, "they don't call me [name] the rapist for nothing." after this, i messaged my friend i mentioned earlier. i thought she would be disgusted and come to my defense. but all she said was he probably meant it as a joke. i wanted to desperately get away from him, but every single one of my friends associated with him. so i shut up. but i distanced myself as much as possible. couple days later another friend of mine brought him to my house without asking. i felt bad so i didnt protest. while we were in my room, he crawled under my bed and grabbed my legs to make me trip. then he dragged me under with him. i was wearing a skirt and he started to claw and bite at my exposed legs and thighs. i screamed and my other friend yanked me free. he didnt say a word to the perpetrator. he never asked if i was okay. a week later name started dating him, and almost all of my friends ghosted me. now they hang out with him, knowing what a fucking freak he is. i witnessed him walk around a thrift store and call baby clothes sexy LAST MONTH. nothing like everyone abandoning you to stand with someone they know assaults people!
