Me and my best friend, who is 12, were walking down the street after going to Tesco when I left her side for one second and an adult man came and slapped her bottom. When I came back to her, unaware of what had happened, she told me what had happened and covered up her whole body with her hoodie. She said she didn’t want to make a fuss about it, the man was probably just drunk and it happened all the time. I felt so sorry for her and disgusted at the world that this had been normalised for her and she tried to make excuses for the man and say she was making a fuss. It is also so saddening that she felt she had to cover up her body as if it were her fault that this happened to her.
