#MeToo

Ok, so i don't know if you guys have been seeing the #metoo posts that have been spreading over Facebook & social media yet.
Where people have been opening up about sexual harassment, sexual abuse and even rape. To show that, yes it happens way more than people really think.
I haven't really shared much of this yet with people in my real life, but #metoo.
I have been sexually harassed quite a bit growing up. Older guys making me feel uncomfortable. Other students in school. People at bars. Because I am a woman, i must be asking for it, right? #wrong.
I have been sexually abused as a kid. A couple people close to me abused me sexually for a few years, once i had started my period. They were both a couple years older.
I have been raped. Just because I liked the guy, didn't mean i was ready. I said no, more than once. But it doesn't count, right? #wrong
So yes. #MeToo.
You guys are not alone. If you aren't ready to speak up yet, that is fine. No one is forcing you to. But just know, you aren't alone. There are others who have been through similar situations. There are people out there who will listen, & care- including me. I am here for any of you if you need me to be.
