One time in 6 or 7th grade I was walking outside with my female friend during lunch. and I walked past this boy and he grabbed my butt. I was so angry and I think my friend told me I was over reacting. The boy only got a lecture from a female teacher. That was the extent of his punishment.

On another occasion this time when I was taking the train during my freshman year in high school. This man sat diagonal from me in a 4 seat section. He asked me to use my phone to take a call. I was kind of frighted of him but I alway wanted to be kind to people so I gave him my phone. He held my phone for a really long time until I asked him if he was going to call someone. After fairly obviously pretending to call someone I got my phone back. When I looked at my phone I saw that he had opened a bunch of apps like contacts and messages, I felt so uncomfortable. He placed his feet up blocking off my exit and I couldn’t move I was so scared. I texted my mom and then I moved train cars. People still don’t really understand why I don’t like public transportation.
