When I was a very young teenager in London I was touched up by pervs many times. I remember one particular instance on a bus, you really don't want the details but I will never forget it. Cinemas and trains were also hunting grounds for these revolting men. It ended once I got to the age where I stopped being so mortified and embarrassed, and became really furious. Funny how it never happened again, it was as if the pervs could spot easy prey and would hone in. I never even told my mother that I'd been followed home from school yet again by some wanker (literally) because I felt deep down it was obviously my fault.Age of consent should absolutely be raised to 18. Your a child at 16, still in school. Some for almost another year. Ive been sexually assaulted myself several times over my life. Ive brushed somethings off (the touching of the breasts) i was so upset at the time. Now I am raging. But I know I will never do anything abiut it because I wouldn't want to stir anything up.
We shouldnt have to feel this way.
