I’ve had a great many experiences with being catcalled, most of them occurring when I was only 14, due to my ‘womanly’ looks/body. When I was 14 I was sexually assaulted in my home, less than a year later I was assaulted again, and when I was 16 I was raped by my 19 year old boyfriend, he convinced me that It was okay, we were in a relationship so he was allowed to do so. It was months later when I said something too someone. I have never gone to the police, or officially reported any of these instances, even though one of these men continued to attend the same school. I have grown so much since these incidents (I’m 18 now) and am now the person to stand up if someone says “he’s touching me”. And I always will.
