My story
At about 10 years old, I was inappropriately touched by a boy in high school. It really scared me, but I didn’t understand why or what was wrong with the situation, so I didn’t tell anyone. A couple years later I had a long distance relationship with a 29 year old when i was 15, had sexual video chats with several people way older than me, and watched a lot of awful pornography. I’m 18 now and it’s really messing with me just how much I was exposed to? I just wish I could have that innocence back. I feel gross for it, especially since it feels like a lot of my trauma was self inflicted in a way. I’m not sure how to overcome it, and would love any advice you all have.

Hi tallWheel568, what happened to you is absolutely not your fault. You are not any less of a person because it. You are an absolutely incredible person for persevering! From this point on, you can try reaching out to an adult that you trust. Hopefully then it will lead you to getting the help that you need from a professional. You don't need to do this alone. <3
