Alright so I don’t really want to go into detail about what happened but I’ll give the basic idea of it for back story purposes.

From the age of around 7-11 I was in a situation where the other person had an abuse of power with me because he was older. He got me to do things I felt uncomfortable doing and I wasn’t ready for it.

I told my mum when I was 12 and action was taken. I was finding ways to cope again and I was okay.

I decided to tell my best friend because I needed someone my age to confide in. When I told her I didn’t get the reaction I expected. She laughed at how I worded it as well as saying “No offence but I would have been able to say no”. (I told her when we were both 14)

I also told someone else not too long ago and he said “Well the more experience you have...”.

It’s hard enough dealing with the aftermath of all that crap, let alone being made to feel like I’m silly or stupid for feeling manipulated and abused

I don’t know how to feel. I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone about this. I’m scared that if I tell anyone else (like a future partner), that they will judge me or feel the same way.

It’s made me feel even worse about myself...

Am I silly for feeling this way?

Is it wrong to get upset about this?

(I’m 16 currently)
