I was at a party in October. A guy who knows I do not like him as I have actively argued against his views many times decides to join my conversation and stand next to me. Nothing wrong with that. He then puts his arm around my shoulder and I already start to feel uncomfortable due to who it was. He then proceeded to lower his hand down to my bum and proceeded to grab my bum. The conversation was a group one and one of my best male friends was in it, opposite me. I mouthed to him telling him that this guy was grabbing my bum. He mouthed at me to leave and I couldn’t because I thought it was too awkward. I was hoping he would help me and he didn’t. I ended up running outside of the party and started crying. I was hoping someone, anyone would come and check if I was okay, especially the friend I spoke to, but no one did. I thought I was just overreacting and that it was nothing. But I felt so alone at that time. I was 16 years old.
