Ugh, flea.
Elementary school was worse for me too. By the time I got to high school, most people just ignored me.

I sometimes tell people I'm proud of having gotten through high school without being raped. It happened to other girls and I would have been an easy target, with no one to speak for me, so I was careful. And lucky.
This was in a public high school, in the '60s, with a very toxic culture. I got out of that school and that town the minute I could.

In high school I hated the fact that I was essentially treated as non-sexual (and I know that this isn't the experience of every person with a disability), but lately I'm starting to feel grateful for it.

I've become kind of fixated on this video. It seems to be something needed.

When I was a very naive freshman, a senior guy invited me to go out to his car at lunch. I couldn't think of any reason why I would want to go to his car and said no. Plus he was interfering with my reading time. It was many years before I realized what would likely have happened.

Our wings are not tired.
I was pretty wildly promiscuous in high school. Generally my friends at that time were the hippie set, and ya know make love not war and all that. I didn't encounter the depraved ugly sexual assault side of life until after my school years.
The single bad HS experience was a family friend boyfriend who said hurtful things about me, which was awful at the time. Later at his father's funeral he apologized profusely and was sincere in his regret. I forgave him with equal sincerity. A year later he committed suicide, stress of having to step into taking care of his father's business way before he was ready. He was a good looking, rich, entitled ass in his youth, but I believe he recognized it at some point and was trying to make amends. Blah.
