Let’s not call it assault

Marina

So i went on a drive w one of my friends and he was basically forcing himself on me the entire time... not like sexually, but he kept trying to hug me, hug me from behind, and he kinda pinned me down trying to “hug” me and saying that I don’t need to be nervous around him. Even though the entire time I was telling him no, pulling away, and telling him to stop he just kept doing it.. it just wasn’t a good feeling when someone forces themselves on u like that.

When talking w another friend he said that that’s considered assault, but everyone relates “assault” to sexual assault, and I know I wasn’t raped or anything like that.. I just don’t know how to feel about everything, or who to talk to bc no one understands. I just feel so emotional right now.
