Aged 17, 2024
I was walking home a bit drunk and this man just comes up to me and is like, ‘oh, you’re very pretty’. So I was like, ‘thank you’ and walked a bit faster, just trying to get ahead and he kept asking how old I was and if I was single and I was just like, ‘I’m 17 and, no, why how old are you?’ He just said “I can’t lie, I’m 22 but you know” and it just made me so uncomfortable. He kept trying to grab me and asked to kiss me. Luckily I managed to shake him off and there was this lovely, I think, drag queen and their friends up front and I was like, ‘can I stand with you guys for a sec, I don’t feel safe,’ which they did let me and took care of me made sure I was safe but god it was so bad it was at like 4am too.
