Guilt

[Icarusflew-InDefiance]

I was assaulted and molested years ago, when I was 13. Still though, a part of me harbors guilt for the incident. I was assaulted by another student in the lunch line, and eventually I got the courage to tell him off and to make him stop. He targeted me because I was quiet and lonely and impressionable, but when I told him off, he targeted another quiet kid instead. If I never made him stop, I'd be the only victim. I indirectly victimized another man trying not to become more of a victim myself, and I must live with that guilt.
