Molested

Asked Jan 1, 2010, 06:07 AM — 16 Answers
I was molested when I was 8. Like he touched me sexualy but when I told my friend he had said ohh I guess that's not a big deal...and I was flipping out cause I'm 16 now ans I still have nightmares but it only happened once and the guy isn't in jail. He told
My parents what he did and then I just recently found him on a social
Network (myspace). So I guess he never went to jail, which makes me feel worse. I'm in to drugs which I'm not proud of and I just can't trust anyone cause he was 18 at the time ans like my best friends I looked up to him. I'm just wondering if maybe its not a big deal and I need to get over it?..

Go get help from counselling. If your parents didn't press charges when you told them then there is no way that he would be in jail. You need to find ways to handle it and move on with your life the best you can and counselling will help. I don't think you can do anything legally after all these years.

The only way you are going to find closure for this horrendous act and move on with your life is report him. Yes, you still can and it is a shame you didn't in the first place. You will have to know he is going to pay for your suffering. Talk ti a counsellor at school about this and get started on a better part of your life. You ow it to yourself, you have to try.

Hello 16:

It IS a big deal - AND you need to get over it. Seek professional help if you can't do it on your own.

You should get counseling, and tell your parents, or some adult that you know will do something about it.

The last thing you want to do is use drugs to mask the feelings that you are having.

Start the new year off right, and do something about this.

God bless you.

Hello again, 16:

I'm not talking about FAMILY therapy. I'm talking about YOUR therapy. I agree with you. Your parents are BROKEN and you can't fix them. Fix yourself.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't love your parents, even though they did wrong. But, don't live there any longer than you have to.

To get help, you have to start helping yourself by talking to profesionals about it, And what in heavens name were your parents doing in the room when you had this counseling, I would say you need a different couselor personally,

Also to some I will say that if he merely touched but did not have sex, they may not see it as a big deal but that is thiere issue and they may not understand the trouble it has caused you.

Next you can ask your mom and dad if they pressed charges ( called the police) and if they did not ask them why also.

Next why are you "looking" for him on a social networking site ?

As for jail, he may have, it has been 8 years, and he would not have been in that long

Hello again, 16:

Let's be clear. He said TO SOME it was just touching... And, TO SOME it was, like maybe your parents. It just isn't HIS position.

You can feel good now.
