This is very hard for me to talk about and when I think about it, it makes me feel disgusted. It's been a few years since this happened but it's really been bothering me so I was wondering if this is a form of Sexual assault. When I was around 6 or 7 and my cousin was 10 she would take her pants off and tell me to touch her and even tickle her in inappropriate places. We used take showers together and she used to show me how to make down there feel good and she used to have me do those things. She used to talk about s3x and how she heard her grown sister doing it. Me obviously a 6 or 7 year old didn't know about that stuff and she did. I'm 13 turning 14 soon and she is 17 we don't talk about it but just remembering it makes me nauseous. I don't wanna tell my family because I don't wanna cause problems over something that happened years ago. She made me touch her inappropriately while she knew about that stuff and I didn't. It just doesn't sit right with me. I don't know maybe I being over dramatic. I just needed to get it off my chest thanks for reading :).

@Strangesisterkk

First of all, I am sorry that you went through that. It is not dramatic at all. You were a child and were made to do things inappropriately. As she was a child as well, it’s unfortunate that she learned that from her sister or people around her. Still, it absolutely does not take away from your experience. Again, I’m sorry that she put you through that. I appreciate you being vulnerable enough to share that<3 💜

@Strangesisterkk. I don’t think you are being overly dramatic. I’m not sure how how things are classified when it happens between children but either way it can still be very traumatic. I’m glad you shared this with us here. (From my experience what we squash down grows stronger). I hope that you can find someone trusted to share with❤️.

Hello,


This sounds like a case of child-on-child sexual abuse. It is real, and you aren't alone— I encourage you to research this if you feel comfortable. Do you have a counselor or therapist you can talk to about this?
