Was I raped?
Hey guys, I’m here today for an outside opinion. Backstory, when I was 13, I ran away from home. I ran away because of the living conditions were so horrible that I couldn’t stand it, so I left. On the streets, I met a guy named Justin(26 years old at that time). He bought me some food and a drink, and told me that I could stay with him at his hotel for the night, since it was January and I was freezing. I was only 13, so I genuinely thought that he was being nice.
When we went to his hotel room, he kept trying to get me to have sex with him. I kept saying no but he kept trying to seduce me. Then the thought of me sleeping on the streets for the night crossed my mind, so then I consented. And what was worse, after he had sex with me, he left me in a McDonald’s parking lot. I never saw him again.
I’m 19 years old now, and I still have nightmares about it. I’ve only told a few people and they told me that what I went through was ‘rape’ but because it happened so long ago, I’ve become numb. I don’t feel like that’s what happened because even though I was 13, I consented. I consented because I was afraid of sleeping alone on the streets in 20 degree weather. I didn’t enjoy it, and that was how I lost my virginity. Please, I’d like to hear what you guys have to say about it but, please be nice. It was the worst experience of my life.
Update: thank you guys so much for your support, it really means a lot to me since a lot of people have really horrible opinions on what happened:(
