Okay, so when I was a kid I was molested a lot. The thing is that it was by another kid. I remember he would manipulate me into letting him touch me if I happened to be fighting back. It started when I was just 5 or 6 though so I didnt even understand what was really happening. When I was probably about 7 years old he wanted to "have sex" with me. I don't remember much about it other than I didnt want to. All I knew is I didnt like him touching me, how ashamed I felt all the time. But he made me do it, and from then on anytime he wanted to have sex with me he did. It didnt matter if we were someplace noone would find us at school, at my house whereever it was. I remember a lot of the time I would protest but he was stronger than me and would make me, and I wouldnt protest too much because I thought I was doing something wrong and didnt want to get in trouble if we got caught. I eventually stopped protesting and would just let him do what he wanted to me. It wasn't until recently when I started to share with a very very close mentor of mine what happened and she didnt say "rape" but hinted at it, did I start to think that is what was happening to me. I am so confused, is that rape? Can a kid rape a kid? All the feelings that are starting to come up are so wierd, and scarey not to mention so strong. Thoughts?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My heart breaks for you... that's just awful and I'm so sorry that you were put through that.
i always had a hard time figuring out what to consider it because they were kids too. i don't have an answer, but i'm starting to try and approach it like this: what i classify it as/the severity of the actual occurence doesn't matter nearly as much as how it effected me...how it's permeated the way i live my life now...
It might have been more damaging then that it would be now, actually.
I remember I had the opposite problem. In elementary school, girls would try to touch me there, but I was obviously stronger (6+ girls are pretty strong, though). They started out just trying to kiss me, but it moved to that, and at the time, I had no desire for such things. It never really bugged me that they tried. I still wouldn't let a girl touch me even today, unless I loved her.
