I am deeply saddened to hear of your previous experiences. See if there are any martial arts clubs in your new area with female teachers. Any type of budo will teach you important life skills and the defense techniques. Being part of a club is a great way to meet new friends!
What self defense would be best?
So I'm a 17 year old female who's moving to a different state soon. I'm hoping for a fresh start with new people and new friends so that means I want to go out on my own. I've always been tiny and it frustrates because I hate feeling vulnerable. People think that because I'm small I'm an easy target and it infuriates me. I've nearly been raped by a "friend" and the best I could do was push him away and pull up my underwear until my friend unlocked the door. I've been followed home from school when i was 11 by a guy asking inappropriate questions and the best I could do was run and hide until I felt it was safe to come out.
What do you think would help me out the most? (Sorry if this isn't the right place for this post )

I took Krav Maga for a year, it was really empowering! It helps smaller people take down bigger targets! The gym I went to would let you do your first class for free to try it, so look into that!

I second that and highly recommend Krav. A good Krav class will teach you both hands and weapon training. I’m 5’ And often felt intimidated in life. Between Krav and a CC license, I feel much safer.
TASERRRRRR. I have a bright pink ome that works like a flashlight but if someone gets too close BAM electricity. It feels wonderful to know that I have it if I need it (thank God I haven't needed it). I also have pepper spray, but I like the taser better. But having options may also make you feel safer. May be a good idea to look into self defense classes so that you dont feel you have to depend on an object, too. Good luck to you!
