I’m 14 and when I was at a summer camp last year, we were watching a play while sitting on benches. I was sitting up straight so I could see the show when I heard a group of boys whispering behind me. I felt a pinch on my ass and I turned around in shock, and they all started laughing. I thought maybe I had imagined it so I turned around and pretended it didn’t happen, but it happened again and I was mortified. I could hear them laughing the whole time, but i was too embarrassed to say anything. When we left and went back to the house we were staying in, I told my friends and they claimed it was because I was “ sticking out my ass.” Since when is a girl sitting up straight an excuse for a teenage boy to violate her body as a joke. What kind of society do we live in that permits them to do so and not think anything of it, and to think it’s funny! Young girls are taught that boys will be boys and to think nothing of it, but why does no one tell them not to do it in the first place!
