When I was 13 years old I was sexually harrassed by a guy who was 4-5 years older than me he touched my private part whenever he got a chance to sit with me in school bus he lived in the same building as me so wehad the same stop. So I used to ran away as fast as I can towards my house whenever I got down from the bus. After a month or two when it started happening my bus was changed it was a relief for me in bus but whenever o saw him outside my house I freaked out so I never went out and due to that me and my friends got distant and I had no friends near my place and due to that I don’t mix up with people much and I never told my parents about it because I was scared I don’t know of what but I was scared after a year his family shifted to another place and I finally stopped worrying about him touching me again but there was always something bothering me and in my school I hardly ever saw him because he was my senior. I am 21 years old now and I never told my parents about it. Sometimes I have a break down thinking about it and thinking about how many people he would have done the same I wished I took a step at that time so that someone taught him a lesson. This is the first time I am opening up about this. Should I tell my parents now? Is it okay to open up now? And is it okay for me to go to a therapist?

Yes you can visit a therapist
I could say you are strong girl
Forget about your past and enjoy your present
I understand sexual harassment and mental breakdowns in adulthood about it. I completely understand your situation.
Telling your parents about this now is completely and utterly your decision to make (because not all parents are supportive and consoling, mine weren’t), but I strongly suggest you to tell this to your therapist and realise what kinda grip harassment has on our life and our personality. Please take care of yourself, you deserve the best babe❤️
Oh my god you are so strong lots of love to you I am sorry your parents weren’t supportive and consoling you can talk to me anytime you want I will drop my email address for you I know we are strangers but I think it will comfort you and take care of yourself too ❤️❤️
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
