I was sexually abused when I was 8 by my uncle (13). I was misunderstood by the guidance counselor who I told in 8th grade. She said something like "It's normal for children to be curious and explore their bodies" which really was just her way of saying 'You weren't abused,it was just kids playing'. I'd like to argue. He knew what he was doing. I was taken advantage of. I rejected every guy who's asked me out because I'm afraid of intimate relationships, I hate people discussing dating and sex, I hate people touching me, even just tapping me on the shoulder or brushing past me in the hallway. I don't trust anybody with anything.
