Scarleteen

hello! the names sapphire (not irl name) and i need to come forward about something. i heard about this term called child on child sexual assault, and i think i could be a Victim but I don't want to confront any of my peers or parents about it because I feel like ITs not truly cocsa. Anyways, here I go.
TW for sexual talk.
I was in health class with my one friend and another boy. We are school age, and I'll censor their names. I'm NB girl, my friend is a girl, and the boy is well, a boy.
My friend (let's call her, Jessica) was 'clueless' about how babies were conceived. The boy (let's call him jake) then tells her, and they both procide to make jokes about it. I was cringing (obviously I had known much about this topic). They then started to talk about genitalia and how they worked. As I went to plug in my phone, in the corner of my ear I can hear them talking about my genitals being in a jar. Of course, this hit me off in the wrong way.
The problem is, this kid has left this school and moved to another state far away from ours.
Am I considered a victim, or if not what? Thank you very much.

Welcome to Scarleteen, Sapphire.

I'm sorry you overheard someone talking about you in that way. At the very least, it was incredibly insensitive for them to say those things, but whether or not it "counts" as abuse doesn't actually matter as much as how it made you feel, and it was clearly distressing for you and had an impact.

In terms of what you need from us, what kind of support do you think would be useful to you? What can we do to help you right now?

(Just to be clear, should it matter to you, assault is a term used to describe a physical action, like hitting someone, or rape. So what you are describing here is not something that would fall under the rubric of assault.)

I don't know what type of help I need. I'm just very confused about my situation right now. I'm sorry.

Hi AGSapphire,
That's totally okay that you do not know. Is this something you want to talk about more here? Or maybe brainstorm people in your life you may be able to talk to and receive support from?
