#MeToo Story Number 30 - By Swiftie13

I was in 3rd grade I think. I was on the bus to school. All of the seats next to my friends were taken so I sat next to an older girl. She asked if I was cold and I said no. She kept on asking and I kept on saying no. She put a blanket over me and her even though I said no. She slowly started to touch me and I asked her to stop. I asked her why she was doing this to me. She said that I was going to need practice for when I was older. She made me touch her. Made me act like a baby and "drink milk" from her. I jumped up and tried to move seats bey the graded my arm and took my glasses. She threatened to break my glasses and my arm. It really hurt and I was a thin fragile girl so did what she said. The really sad thing is that I was on a crowded bus and I never screamed or yelled for help. I was so scared to move that no one noticed. On top of this she would come by after school and rape me again. It was like this for about 1 month before she moved away. I did not even know that this was a big deal. I thought that she was just mean. I am 13 now and I am scared of meeting teen girls. I avoid them and don't look at them. It takes a while for me to make friends because I remember what has happened. I feel so guilty because I could have stopped it if I had just screamed. If I had just made noise. Taylor Swift has helped me share my story by sharing hers. It was her story that made me realize I should not keep quite because every second I wait another child is looking for support. My story could be the one that helps them share theres.
