"The first time I was in middle school I was wearing a school required uniform. It wasn't the uniform that involved wearing a skirt. I wore a navy blue polo that only had a button up at the chest, and normal beige brown Khakis.

And while having I was alone in the hallway with a boy that I had to do a project with for Science class. I had my back turned to him once, and he grabbed my butt. I was shocked and I looked back at him and he told me, 'Your butt is very soft' I was extremely anxious and I never felt more exposed than I did in that moment. I didn't know how to respond to the situation. So when we got back in class I avoided him and didn't say anything to anyone. I didn't want to start something and honestly I didn't want to continue to experience that moment for long."
