Keep in mind:
SEXUAL ASSAULT/RAPE HAPPENS TO ALL GENDERS.
Even though the percentage of women/girls getting sexually assaulted/raped is higher than men/boys, that’s not an excuse to ignore the sexual assault/rape of men/boys.
Also women/women , men/men..
👏👏👏
Wouldn't the consequences be only for women because they are the only one able to get pregnant

Oh thank you for pointing that out!
key thing missed, minors can not give consent, even if they agree and want the act
Thanks for your comment! That's correct, the age at which someone can consent to sex varies from state to state, but no one who is under 16 can legally consent to sex in any state.
@@amazeorg you might want to pin this comment, its important

You should make a video warning about pedophilia; it's a very important issue.
But what if two minors agree to have sex? What happens?
Depends on the country😤
Not me finally realizing I was sexually assaulted by a friend I love over a year after it happened
im so sorry :(
I’m sorry remember it’s not your fault
My friend did the same thing and said it was a "joke"
I recently realised I was sexually assaulted when I was younger, I always thought it wasn’t a big deal because he was also a child at the time and my parents and school told me at the time that what he was doing was normal even though he molested me and it made me extremely uncomfortable and scared. This happened to me multiple times across the period of a few months
I still victim blame myself for this sometimes as well because of how I was taught by the adults around me not to worry about it. I sometimes feel that I shouldn’t be affected by this as well
It’s awful that you were hurt and felt completely alone. You’re not alone, and you deserve help and support. You were able to share here even though adults didn't believe you or took good care of you in this situation. Perhaps you could visit RAINN.org to chat with someone or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1(800) 656-HOPE (4673). You deserve to be helped. Again, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
I was too
i'm crying. i don't know how to tell this to my parents.

Omg, I hope you did, I feel so bad for u :(((((
I’m so sorry. What happened? I understand you need your privacy. This body was behind me in a line up, and he rubbed his genitals on my butt. Later he picked me up and rubbed again, and I started to cry. This was when I was in grade 4 or so, and it made me very mentally ill. The boy was also harassing me and just made me feel guilty.
Delaney Ness im sorry for what happened to you, i hope it does not affect you anymore
Please be strong! We’re here for you!
every school needs those kind of videos.
When I was 10, I was sexually assaulted. It was horrible, I felt trapped, as if I couldn't reach out to anyone, but I did reach out to the teacher. But she didn't do anything. That made it worse, I eventually got depressed, and couldn't live with what had happened to me. That's why I'm writing this, to help kids who may be going through the same thing, I just want you to know your never alone and there's people who you can talk to and understand you, if you still don't feel confident I recommend kids helpline. Sexual assault isn't a joke.

@@amazeorg I have a question actually...can a girl abuse another girl?
There was a girl in my school and tuition too she used to touch me very much inappropriately and used to look at me in such a way i dont know i always felt helpless under her...I am physically very much stronger than her but her one look made me mentally weak. And she used to invade my private space too much and almost all times trapped me between walls and herself...it was very suffocating...she stays with an innocent face on her and didnt let me confront her anyway...she touched me on my private parts more than a few times and forcibly took my tee down once...i feel horrible. These went for 2 years for six days a week. She had the audacity to even threaten my close friends to stay away from me so that she can take advantage of my loneliness nd i was a fool to fall for her trap. I have changed schools now nd blocked her. She was dangerous...she would cut her body if i got a cut on mine...she was dangerously obsessed with me...
@@misslyricster1234 yes..people from the same gender doing those things is definitely sexual assault. I'm so sorry that happened to u. Plz try to reach out to somebody close to you and notify them about this..for your own protection and mental peace
@@sakuranovaryan9261 It's over 1 year and a half now so I'm just leaving the matter because right now there's nothing that can happen for me except chaos and i dont wanna dug this out again so uk..
Ohh so I realize i was assaulted without even knowing it just because I wasn't raped...
We're so so sorry to hear this, but glad that we could help. We encourage you to speak to an adult that you trust to get the help you deserve.
Same here I have had it happen to me a lot in life but it’s nowhere near as traumatic just talk to someone about it and wait and you will probably forget. That’s what happened with me if someone touches my leg, neck, or anywhere other then my genitals/butt I wont care a lot unless they deliberately repeat. That’s because if they repeat it really means they mean what they’re doing.
Another note: it's alright if you aren't ready to speak. Just like how there is strength and bravery in your voice, there is strength and bravery in your silence. And I sincerely hope with all of my being that every person that might read this insignificant comment is doing okay.
This happened to me when I was around 8-9 (by my sister who was 3 years older than me) and I had to live about 12 years with her and just started remembering all the bad memories recently.
I got mad at her one day and it came out, which obviously caused a whole situation.
In the end one of my other siblings justified her actions by saying that she “didn’t get her period yet” or “didn’t know what she was doing” and I feel stupid for saying anything…
It’s awful that you were hurt and felt completely alone. You mention how hard it is to tell someone what happened, but in spite of this, you were able to share your story here.

Same happened with me. I was too young to know what was happening and whether it was right or wrong. My sister is 2 years older than me. Idk how to bring it up now after so many years. It feels like it wasn't real because I've suppressed the memories for so long and at this point I'm not even sure what to think of it
@@randomperson8766 I love you, and I hope you will be okay. Sharing is really hard. As long as you’re able to remember that you are not to blame.
What happened
Was the "Three Flavors" a reference to that old Disney XD show about the boy who draws?
FLAVOURS
Im just in the comments to:
-say its stupid- NO
-reply in mean ways- NO
*respecting different people like transformers and thinking its cool being like that* YES
Ok... i made a good flipping comment good job past me
Even though I wasn't raped, my ex boy friend sexually assaulted me . Before my experience with my ex , I went to visit a male friend who did the same, although he asked me for forgiveness, luckily for me he quickly snapped out of it he didn't rape me , thank God. Fast forward again, I was dating this guy about few weeks ago, I told him I wanted abstinence since we might be getting married,to cut the story short, he also sexually assaulted me, I wasn't raped, he doesn't even feel sorry after agreeing to abstinence and yet broke my trust. I can't get over these experience, is been 3weeks since this last one happened, but now i feel ashamed, dirty, I can't get over all these experiences, I'm suffering. All the memories I have are hunting me.
He was my own brother.. He said I had to “learn” He was so close but I said NO, I was 7... I’ve never told anyone about it
Damn I was 8 and he was my cousin
@Sommer Currie omg same it happened a month ago my parents sent him to another city
@Sommer Currie yep but I'm not sure if I'm safe what if he does something with my pictures 🙁 I'm so scared seriously and my own parents won't let me call cops they been telling me to be quite
@Sommer Currie thank you so much btw can we be friends? Coz I really want to tell you about this situation because I have no clue what to do it's just I'm sticking with my parent's words and not doing anything
@Sommer Currie thank you so much ✨✨
please add me in ig
@_karishy_
I would love to be friends with you sis 😊
When I was 8 or 9 my “friend” we were the same age. She said we were playing a game and made me take my pants down and started touching me and put her finger inside of me and she made me so the same thing to her as well. I blocked it out for 10 years but a few after she did that I still wanted to be her friend but one time I saw her with her friends and she was bullying me and her friends was laughing At me. Even after I still want to be her friend I was friends with her for 3 years and she would break my stuff and steal it. When I was 13 I was sexually abused by a boy the same age as me at the school desk I was supposed to help him with math and then I felt his hand on my legs and he rub me and touched me everywhere I got up and went in front of the teachers desk I wanted to tell her what happened but I didn’t so I grab a pen and sat back down next to him and he started to touch me again. When i got home I acted like I was fine. The next day mum woke me up for school I was scared so I told her. The police didn’t get involved cause me and him had autism and there was any cameras so he didn’t get in trouble only a person watched him for a week. He lied and said he he only touched my leg. The teachers said it was just puberty. The only thing that made me feel better was my blade to cut myself with. I’m 20 now and I’m still struggling with all these memories.
Amy Lamb i’m so sorry that happened to you. it’s so wrong for the teacher to just say that it’s just puberty. u have my full support! love you!!💓
i’ve also been through smth similar tbh. i’m only 14 rn but when i was 12, i remember a boy and i who were classmates at the time decided to “date” but it honestly wasn’t anything serious until he touched me inappropriately on my legs and butt. it’s honestly so bad that he tried kissing me even though he knew that was my first kiss. this lasted for abt a month or so. i still feel disgusted by it up to this day. idk but it still haunts me.
I am so sorry this happened. Sexual assault is not your fault, and you deserve to be safe. Keep telling adults until you get help. You can also call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1(800) 656-HOPE (4673).
Omg I am very sorry for you. Don’t ever hesitate to tell someone or record what’s happening. You shouldn’t be treated like this and neither should anyone else. And lemme tell ya something..
Always go for the nuts if it’s a boy 😎 Try to do that with girls too if want girl does the same to you. I does hurt when we get hit in the vajayjay 😅😅
Know that we are here for u and ur not alone.
You reposted a video
I'm here because I'm wondering if what happened to me counts as sexual assault. It happened when I was 9 or 10 but I forgot about it and randomly resurfaced when I was 19. I'm now 21.
I don't know. I feel like it's something small, but everytime I think about it I feel disgusted and I wish it never happened. The memory always comes back when I'm in some of my lowest moods.
Hi, there; thank you so much for your question! And thank you for your bravery; it can be really tough when old memories come back to us, especially when unexpected. Even if it's something that happened when you were younger it can still qualify as sexual assault if it meets the criteria we named. It might be a little too late to pursue any legal action for the situation; however, if it's still causing you emotional challenges, you might want to consider talking to a therapist or counselor about it. In the meantime, hope this helps. Good luck to you! ❤️
I was SA’d in my sleep for six months by my younger sibling. I told my parents and they just laughed it off and got mad at me for bringing it up in front of said sibling because it’ll embarrass him. I still have so much trauma from it but I can’t really do anything about it…

This was very informative, thank you!!
In 8th grade a boy did something to me that I didn't agree with, and I wasn't sure if it was assault. Through this video I've learned it was
Hey Sandybeaches, we're so sorry to hear that this happened to you. Its not your fault. Do you have an adult that you trust that you can confide in? If not, RAINN.org has volunteers available to help you process what happened and offer resources for you to find help.
@@amazeorg Thank you for the reply. It has been 2 years since then and I have barely started opening up about it. I told my friend yesterday but I still dont have to confidence to tell my parents or an adult. I have visited that website but I haven't joined any of the chats or done anything they suggested yet. Thank you though for this video, it has helped
Seems like an important thing to show kids in school.
That just reminded me of something that happened at my school not too long ago:
A sixth grader in our school was a victim of sexual assault. The perpetrator was my former science teacher from 6-7th grade (i'm about to graduate middle school). Luckily, I was not a victim. Word got around that this went on for a year, which was why our science teacher was acting *REAL* sus lately.
Long story short, he got arrested and is charged for second degree assault.
I've always felt ashamed of myself and belittled whenever I get sexually assaulted cuz people always blame the victim not the abuser it's really hard to speak up especially about sexual matters.
But I wanna believe from now on that I am brave to voice it out loud and stop the perverted predators from whatever harm they're doing to me and to others.
I was sexually assaulted about 4 days ago by a man whom I trusted and saw a paternal figure. The night of the assault he tried to get me drunk along with my mom eventually I noticed him putting too much wine on my drink and I stopped. I didn’t think much of it because that’s how much I trusted him after my mom left for the bathroom he sat close to me like he always did and hugged me. Every time he hugged me he would always stroke my arm I thought it was normal as I thought it was a way to express his daughterly love towards me. As I was hugging him he forcefully kissed me out of the blue with out my consent and once again I was completely confused and drunk as well. After that he injected a dose of vitamin A and B it was the weekly thing since his a doctor. About an hour later I got up with a lot of itchiness all over my body I tried to wake up my mom and even shook her really hard and she still wouldn’t get up. I stared at myself in the mirror for a little bit because my face was red too I had no option but to go wake him up so that he could see what was wrong with me. His door was open so I just knocked and apologized for the sudden disruption. I told him about the red spots all over my body and showed him but he didn’t even acknowledge it or care. He told me to “come here and give him a hug” I guess from my state of vulnerability, weakness and deep trust I had in him I went ahead and laid down beside him thinking it was just going to be something short. As I laid there he kept caressing my arm like he always did but after a while he started fondling my back and my waist then my leg after that my inner thigh and my private part. I was completely in shock and paralyzed I had to remove his hand about three times because he wouldn’t stop. After that he started touching my breast and then that’s when I prayed in my head to my God Jehovah and asked him for courage to remove myself from the situation. I told him I need to go to the bathroom repeatedly and he still wouldn’t let go until he put his entire body pressure on me and stuck his tongue inside my mouth. My heart was beating really fast and I was at a completely survival mode. After saying “I need to go to the bathroom” for the 5th time he finally let go of me. Thinking now if my mom wasn’t sleeping in the next room and I was alone with him this man would’ve have raped me and completely crushed my soul and all the emotional progress I had made. He was part of helping me gain my self esteem and confidence again and completely betrayed me and crushed the little hope I had left. After that incident I went outside in the dark and sobbed beside a red shed like I’ve never cried in my entire life. The next day was incredibly painful because I had gotten a horrible skin allergy and I was throwing up out of absolute disgust. I told my mom but she did not believe me she told me I imagined it from past sexual abuse I had endured as a child. I did not imagine that horrifying event I’m at a place where I want to move and just heal from this horrible experience because I cannot let this man completely destroy me. He didn’t rape me but it didn’t have to get to that level. The worst part is that my mom forced me to confront him and he even said it was a miss interpretation. My body was in absolute panic that night so I was in absolute disbelief that my own mother would defend him over me. I have only told one person because she told me not to say anything due to the compromises he has with this man. I don’t think my life will ever be the same after that incident but I genuinely hope I can move on and heal.
One thing I can say that no matter how friendly how great or life advice a person has or anything of that sort. Do not overly trust that person because you never know. I whole heartedly believed this person was a wholesome man trying to help my mom and I out from the horrific divorce we endured. All he wanted was to control and take advantage for his own desire towards me. I just thank Jehovah god that he did not rape me. Even so I am not less of the pain he inflicted on me. Neither are you from whom ever sexually assaulted you or raped you. You are more every single day and worth a lot. Remember that God always takes something that is broke and makes it into something beautiful. Don’t let the monster that tried to destroy you define you as a person. Be a warrior because that’s what you are.

@@chi3775 thank you I’m better now
My classmate did that.
At PE class.

I told my teacher about it, but he said it was "for fun".
Where is the fun in that?
Is it his "fun" to traumatize someone?
WHERE is it?
WHERE is the fun?
It's NOT fun to sexually assault someone.
I honestly just wanna do online classes other than seeing him, I just don't want to see his face because I am scared of it all happening again.
_I'm 10._
Ana, we're so sorry to hear this! You did the right thing by telling your teacher and its awful that they didn't take you seriously. We encourage you to keep telling adults until someone believes you.
I'm sorry that happened to you
When I was young. My moms friend's child used to sexually assault me. I didn't know it was wrong until now
I really like channels like yours, it explain I lot of things for young people!
I’ve got shown porn a few times and got my butt slapped in gym class,, this is why I’m asexual now but man that messed me up
Hey, Musical, we're sorry that happened to you! Have you talked to an adult you trust about what happened? Its in no way your fault and we want you to feel respected.
I learned that not all (of a certain gender) are the same and I’ve learned to forgive myself and them, love myself and realize it’s not my fault and I deserve better in life...
What if you’re being sexually assaulted and you yell at the offender in a really loud voice to get off but they keep grabbing your private parts? What should you do in this situation?
I had a friend who was toxic to me and other people but thank god I decided to end our friendship. In 9th grade, me and three other people, were playing around and my friend said something to me (wasn’t anything sexual I don’t think.) and then started to groped my genitals. I wasn’t comfortable with her doing it. I tried pushing her back but that didn’t stop her from doing it and after that I just gave up for some reason. After that, she went back to fooling around the other two. She only groped me for a few seconds and that was it. I didn’t really wanted her to do it and I was uncomfortable when she did it. I may sound stupid when I say this but I didn’t thought of it as being a sexual assault at the time. I didn’t thought it was till I thought about all the stupid stuff that I did after I ended our friendship.
Hey Ewok, I'm so sorry to hear this. Its not your fault or stupid to think that it wasn't sexual assault at the time. I'm glad to hear that you ended that toxic relationship. You deserve so much better. If you ever feel like you need to talk about it, perhaps you can talk to adult that you trust. If you'd feel better speaking to someone privately, you can talk to volunteers at RAINN.org.
When parents “spank” (aka paddle, hit, hurt) their small defenseless child... wonderful
I was sexually assaulted last year by one of my best friends... I was only 8. Now I plan on telling my friend’s mom about it and talk it out. If my parents don’t agree to that then I don’t know what to do. I talked to the principal of our school last month and we talked it out. My assaulter walked in and said she was simply “trying to get my phone” to call home when she obviously WASNT. She called it a joke at first then she said she was trying to get my phone. She’s lying and trying to avoid getting in trouble. I feel she should be punished for it but I don’t know what to do... everyone is saying/implying that I can’t get help because nobody cares about it. I just really need advice right now... if anybody has any advice please don’t be scared to tell me.
I am so sorry this happened. Sexual assault is not your fault, and you deserve to be safe. Please talk to your mom or another adult you trust, so they know what is going on and can help you.

Thanks after I watched this I told my mom what happen on night :( I know what to do now
i know this is supposed to be serious but "THREE SUACES* had me dying
There is a difference between rape and sexual assault, although rape is sometimes referred to as sexual assault. Rape is non-consensual sex. Sexual assault is not limited to non-consensual sex, and can also include inappropriate touching, unwarranted kissing, and sexual harassment.
Very good Video, for young people is helping 👍👍👍
I was sexually assaulted by my neighbor I was 7 and aware of what happened, I never thought about it until I was 13 my mental health was getting worse i couldn't tell mom I just said I was molested "you're a shame" is what she said I can't handle anymore watching him act like he didn't do anything and having a happy life I hope he doesn't make any other kids suffer like he did to me...
Wow...I am so sorry this happened to you; despite what was said to you, you are NOT a shame! If you are still feeling challenged mentally, we definitely encourage you to talk to a professional who could help you work through your feelings. If you're unsure of how to start, a place like RAINN may be the first place to go. Sending you love and comfort; please take good care!

I already told my parents but they think I’m paranoid I just don’t know what to do
I've been sexually assaulted I'm planning on telling my therapist next week but I'm scared she's gonna tell my mom 😞
Don't worry tell someone ask her personaly not to tell it to your mom
May god bless you
Bethany, you are so brave to share what happened. We are sure that your therapist will be there to support you and if she tells your mom, its to ensure that you get the help you deserve. Just know, its not your fault.
I like how people are making this seen and heard so people know about it
This helped me a lot thank you so much
Glad it helped!
amaze videos should be shown in schools
i was silent and just kept telling him ‘i don’t know’ it went on for what felt like 20 hours. until i eventually had to give in
I'm sorry that happened to you
When I was 9 I had this friend, she was really crazy and did so many stuff, like running away with me and cut my hair and hurt me but i didn’t even realize a very straight nine year old girl could sexually assault another 9 year old and I my parents don’t even know about that part of it like she touched me, it was Christmas Eve and she said there was an invisible book that had a list of stuff if you were having a sleepover you would get haunted if you didn’t do it so the gullible person I was did all the stuff “the book “ sAid I just now realize all of the stuff in the book were sexual and I can’t even tell anyone
I got touched a bit in 4th by two other 4th graders since I sat by them and they always touched me with their legs on my thighs,I don’t think it counts but it made me uncomfortable
Grace Girl--This must have been a very difficult experience for you. Thank you for feeling safe enough to share it here. Any time a person is forced or tricked into doing something sexual it is sexual abuse. I am so sorry that this happened to you and want you to know it was not your fault that it happened.

I didn’t realize that when some boy tried to show me “a bad website” he was sexually assaulted assaulting me. Luckily i told a teacher
Thank you for this♥️
You’re welcome 😊
Well, now I know what to do. I don't want to talk to him anymore. Thank you for this video.
Lillian, it takes a lot of courage to distance yourself from someone that is hurting you. Please talk to an adult to get the help that you deserve.
Very helpful watched with our kids
Thanks for the example.
This happened to me when I was nine and ten. What’s worse is that my step cousin did it to me.😔
im 6 or seven when this happened to me....
while on junior got abused by some friends
I’m so sorry that happened:(
ive been forced into sex a few times. My ex demanded that i have sex with her and i said i didnt want to. She proceeded to push me on her bed pull my pants down and start sucking. I was laughing hysterically but that was to mask how uncomfortable i was feeling. The more i laughed, the angrier she got. Needless to say i couldnt get hard or finish and i was never attracted to her again. Ive only told my best friend about this because i'm too embarrassed to tell anyone else i know. I'm kinda over it now but i'll never forget that feeling of vulnerability and powerlessness.

so...
i was sexually assaulted by my 8 year old cousin. and I’m 12. i was way to scared to know what was happening. im so scared to tell someone. i don’t think anyone will believe me
hey, im really sorry that happened. its okay that youre not comfortable with telling someone right away because that can be traumatic. but id say try telling an adult as soon as possible so you can get the help you need and it gets addressed to your cousin :(

Hello
I recently came to terms with the fact that I was actually sexually assaulted by someone I considered my friend. For a long time I was in denyal because that person was a female and when I told her that I didn't like what she was doing to me she said it was a joke.

What? Why did you repost this? Ive saw this before. Also, did any notice that their voices changed
Lonely Spirit yea, and the teacher is different
What happens if they Touch you on you back and keep looking up and down at you and winking at you
that’s sexual harassment
THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEE
This was so educational thank you
Glad we can help!
TW- is it sexual assault if you normally kiss someone, and at a party they pick you up and throw you on the bed, you try and distract them and tell them that you should both go back to the party. and they continue to kiss you and ask you to scratch their back . so you say: if I do will you leave me alone, they say yes. so you do and then they keep going and they're rubbing up against you you can't move. Then you scratch them hard- they scream. Start punching walls and cupboards and yell at you to leave
Lara, I'm sorry to hear this. Do you have an adult you trust that you can speak to for guidance? This sounds like a scary situation. Just know, that this wasn't your fault. Sexual assault never is the victim's fault. I know you shared that you've kissed before, but consenting before doesn't make everything moment after that allowable.
It is important to remember that sexual assault is never the fault of the person being assaulted or abused, even if the person doing the assaulting or touching says it’s the young person’s fault.
What a person was wearing or if they had been using drugs or alcohol does not make sexual assault the fault of the person who is assaulted. Sexual assault, regardless of the situation, is never okay. Sometimes a person may feel like sexual assault is their fault because the touching felt good, but sexual assault is never the young person’s fault.

It’s awful that you were hurt and felt completely alone. You’re not alone, and you deserve help and support. You were able to share here. Do you have an adult relative that you trust? Perhaps you could visit RAINN.org to chat with someone or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1(800) 656-HOPE (4673).
Thank you so much for this video, and trying to remind me it's not my fault. Is it wrong I still feel like it is?
We completely understand how traumatic it can be. Personal guilt is a normal reaction. Have you talked to anyone about what happened? Resources like RAINN.org are also very helpful and have volunteers available.
Me podrán traducir a español lo q dice el texto????
WHERE ARE THERE CLOTHES
HI! May I have your permission to use this video on our classroom presentation? well make sure to have you credtited thanks!
Hey, Vergel. Yes, of course!
Can someone please respond to me? I don’t know if I was sexually assaulted or not. I was nine years old and I was laying in bed with a childhood friend and he asked me if I wanted to touch him and he toch me and I didn’t want to but he eventually convinced me to do it. The same thing happened when I was 7 with someone else but it happened all them time until I moved away. I don’t know if that’s considered assault or not because I didn’t say no.
were you pressured to touch him?
@@kogallfixation yes
@@cloroxbleach3765 well yes, coercion is sexual assault
What if someone kisses you without your consent?
Any sexual behavior without consent is considered sexual assault. If you or someone you know was touched in a way that was not okay or if you were forced to touch someone else in a way that makes you uncomfortable, don’t keep it a secret. Even if the person who did this is an adult or an older kid who told you not to tell anyone, you should tell someone. Tell someone you trust-like a parent, family member, teacher, friend’s parent or neighbor. If the first person you tell doesn’t do anything, tell someone else you trust. Keep telling adults you trust until you get help.
If it is intended ******* yes
I'm an sexual assault survivor your not alone
*Period*
You have a moral obligation to report sexual assaults to law enforcement.
Period.
In year 6 (I'm in year 7 now) I just moved schools,my teacher told me to stay after class,where he put his arm around me and asked if I liked the school,i said yes,and felt REAL uncomfortable,he said ok,that's good,and let me go...but the one thing I cant get out of my head was his smile while he was doing this...his creepy smile...I felt uncomfortable for the rest (of what I had) of the year...I eventually told my mum...he did this in about February...maybe January...and I told my mum like...a week into year 7...it took me 7 months to tell someone,my dad doesn't k and I don't k if I should tell the school...my younger sister is guaranteed to have him as a teacher and I'm worried...does that count as sexual assault?
Same. I got the creepy smile too🤮🤮
@@Chantieslife at least someone understands
Great question--shouts out to you for paying attention to your intuition! Sexual assault is typically defined as an experience where someone is doing something sexual and they don't have your consent to do it. Typically speaking, putting an arm around someone and giving them a smile isn't automatically sexual, so there's not much to worry about there. However, if you felt uncomfortable, it's perfectly okay to keep your distance in the future! Even if your teacher wasn't sexually assaulting you, it doesn't mean you have to allow him to touch you at all if it makes you feel uncomfortable, and the same goes for your sister! Hope this helps clarify things. 🙂
I don’t know how to tell my parents I just realized I was sexually assaulted at 13
ahaha trying to see if my story counts 😌
Same :(
What do you do if you couldn't tell anybody
Would it be sexual assault or harassment if my grandma slaps my butt and isn’t trying to be sexual with me but it still makes me feel uncomfortable?
I dont want to say anything
What if my parents know but won't do anything about it because of family? Plus she is a girl and it seems like only men can sexually assault
Ik and i'm sorry to hear this you are very strong. It doesn't matter that you are a guy, and it happens to all ages and sexes But it's wrong. You need to tell someone and trust me ik that can be hard.Tell like a teacher at your school or a close friend. And even if you just want to rant just write your feelings down on to papper then rip it up if you don't want anyone to see it.
So Im here to see if I should consider my situation as sexual assault or not.....So,I had this male teacher and we are pretty close,in the way,he used to share his secrets and I did too but I made sure that I never overstepped my boundaries.He used to flirt with me but I thought it was just a harmless so I didnt really pay any attention until something happened yesterday.He told me to sit beside him so I did and then he started pulling me closer and closer.He saw that I was uncomfortable and that I was sweating heavily but he did not stop.He put his hands on my abdomen and then....to my breasts....and not just that but he put his hand under my shirt and lifted my bra and started caressing my breasts........and all I could do was sit there,silently.I WAS NOT CONSENTING TO THIS...BUT I DONT KNOW WHY I REMAINED SILENT....I COULDNT UTTER A SINGLE WORD,I WAS SO SCARED.....Does this count as a sexual assault or its just normal.....?😭

I was actually sexually assaulted by my older cousin this year in April and I’m sleeping over at his house on Saturday because I’m close with his sister and I’m scared of him
I'm sorry that happened to you, did your cousin leave you alone this time?
If a legal adult pressures a minor into doing something over the internet that is sexual, does it count as sexual assult?
Hi! Thank you so much for your question!! Sexual assault of a minor is a widely used term that also has a legal definition, one that varies state to state. However, being coerced or pressured to engage in sexual behavior when it is not what you want is NOT OKAY NO MATTER WHAT. Whether this is happening to you or somebody you know, talk to an adult you trust, like a parent or school counselor to get the support needed. For additional support, there are trained support specialists that you can call at the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1 (800) 656-HOPE (4673) or chat with online at Online.RAINN.org.
1:30 sometimes this isn't true
If someone was touched in their thigh multiple times without their consent is it still sexual assault ?
Any kind of sexual behaviors or touching without that person’s permission (also known as consent) is sexual assault. If this has happened to you, just know that it is not your fault. We encourage you to speak to someone you trust. If you feel it'd be better to speak to someone in total confidence, you can visit RAINN.org. They have resources and volunteers that can help.

All 3 happened to me
My ex-friend is the worst
When I was 7, it was horrible
Hi Rat Princess, we're so sorry that this happend to you. Have you talked to an adult that you trust? Its important to take care of yourself. If you think it would be better to speak to someone in confidence, you can visit RAINN.org or 1in6.org. They each have volunteers available to help.
I was sexually assaulted when I was 9 by my cousin(he was 17 or 18)im 15 now and just figured out about sexual assault☹️
Hi, Niah, I'm so sorry to hear this. This isn't your fault. Do you have an adult that you trust that you can talk to? Your safety is the most important. If you feel like it'd be better for you to talk to speak with someone in confidence, RAINN.org has volunteers available to give you the support that you deserve.
AMAZE Org yeah I told my mom wayy back thanks though 🙏🏽 ❤️
Same :( one of my relatives touched me but never raped me so I didn’t know I was sexually assaulted until now, I just remember feeling super bad and trashing the pants that I wore
so i get that sexual assault includes unwanted, invasive touching but what if the intent wasnt sexual? its still equally as painful and traumatic, but im not quite sure their intent was sexual
Great question! Sometimes we may feel like someone has violated us in a way that wasn't intentional, or someone who has violated us will tell us that what they did was unintentional. Even if that is the case, their behavior can still count as assault if it affected us in a way that was painful or traumatic. In either case, I would still make sure to let an adult know, and to get whatever support you might need to heal from that event.
@@amazeorg thank you so much!
Does it count when my ex does it without my permission aka randomly
Hi, there; thank you for your question! YES, a person can be sexually assaulted by someone they're dating, or someone they used to date. If a person is being pushed into doing something sexually that they do not want to do, it's sexual assault, plain and simple.
Hey umm so is someone touching while you're sleeping sexual harrasment like not the body parts you mentioned here
Like what parts, like thighs? Anything really touching you when you're asleep is WRONG
Nice I get my Idea for the next video I guess.
What if you're both Pan AND Ace?
i have gotten sexualy assulted and im bi and ase but the good thing is that they didn't rape me tho i feel like if i didn't tell anyone he would have i got sexually assulted when i was 7 8 or 9 around there it was uncomfortable but that made me a prson who needs to know if they can be trusted which i needed to be
Yes
I love this animation style
Question. Is kissing someone without consent considered sa? My friend asked if she could kiss me and I said no but she forced me to do it anyway 3 times.
