When I was 13 I longed for someone to trust, someone to talk to. Tormented by a secret that ate away at my soul since the age of seven. I lived in fear. He warned me not to tell, so I didn’t. He told me that if I told anyone, I would be the one who would get into trouble, because it was my fault! I believed him. Funny Huh!! Not so funny when you are seven though. I was 13 I hated my body,and I was scared and alone. Every morning I awoke drenched in sweat because of the nightmares. Molestation has to end. The animals that prey on our children need a harsher punishment. When I was 13 I was a terrified victim of molestation.
Down Below

She grabs her purse and her coat to go.
The doorbell rings.
She greets him with a smile
and a warm, “hello.”

He walks in and my heart begins to slow.
“Good-bye kids – I have to go.”
“…and you’d better obey him!”
As if we didn’t already know.

Only seconds would go by
Before he would dismiss the others to go.
For it was me
That he wanted
To take advantage of
Down below.

I opened my mouth to scream,
But nothing came out.
As I lie there, cold and stiff,
As he pounded me about.

Oh, I didn’t even think about the aggressiveness of this generation but, yeah, that can stem from self~esteem issues. Hopefully, by catching teens early enough and letting them know that they have value some of that anger can be controlled.

Such a sweet and positive message, thank you for sharing. Isn’t funny how when we look back at ourselves, we realize how many opportunities we let pass us by out of fear or insecurity? I think the Dove Movement for Self~Esteem is a wonderful way of encouraging girls to see and realize their potential.

I was quite an introvert at the age of 13.Did not socialize much.Dove Movement for self esteem is a very good initiative taken.Glad to read about such a thing.After reading this,how i wish i had such a thing when i was at or around that age.
I would say- “This is the age to enjoy life.Grab every opportunity you get.Remember,life will give you just one chance.”All the best.
