I never told anyone *trigger warning* assault

Ri

I was sexully assaulted in highschool by a guy who I thought was my friend. I was 14 and a virgin at the time; we were hanging out during lunch and he took me aside and started groping me under my clothes he touched my breasts, butt, and he fingered me. I froze up and I didn't know what to do I was so scared. It was during lunch and it was outside so it didn't go beyond that.

I felt gross and I told 3 good friends of mine and they protected me, the guy who did it got jumped my older brothers of one of my friends. I never reported it to the school though, I didn't want my parents to know. For a good amount of time I was very afraid of men, not including my best friends, because of what happened.

I've come to terms with it and it no longer bothers me, I have an amazing sex life with my boyfriend who I got to lose my virginity with by choice, but I still suffer from occasional panic attacks. Other than that I am as happy as I can possibly be, and probably more happy than I have ever been. My family still doesn't know about it and I don't really plan on ever telling them. It has been well over 6 years since it happened and there is no reason for me to tell them.

Now the only people that know about this are 7 amazing friends of mine, 1 friend that I no longer talk to for other reasons, and my long time boyfriend. And now you guys here. I'm not asking for any comments, or likes I just felt like I needed to let this long held secret out.

Thank you for reading, I hope you guys have a great day.
