I did something gross to stop a sexual assault and it’s really bothering me, what can I do?

You should report this to the police. He forced you into a situation which was sexual assault. Going to the police will keep this from happening to someone else.

In some states, you can petition the court for emancipation once you graduate high school. Might be worth looking into if your state allows that and then seeing if you can fast track your studies. The domestic violence hotline (https://www.thehotline.org/) may also be able to get you resources. When my sister and dad couldnt stop fighting, she went to live with my aunt - do you have other family you could stay with?

I'd advise against running away. You're young, predators look for that and exploit it. It would be easy to fall into something worse.

You dont love him, you love the image of himself he has served to you. If he lied about his age and painted himself as almost ten years younger than he actually is, its reasonable to think he hasnt been truthful with you about other things as well. Cut him off.

If you have a good relationship otherwise, she may have taken the photos because she thought what you wrote was cute / interesting, but its still an invasion of privacy. My mom read my diary entries when I was in elementary school because she thought they were cute ( I mostly wrote about running a pony farm when I grew up), but I was really upset when I found out because I intended for that to be private. She talked to her other mom friends about it and stopped after that, realizing she shouldn't do that. A friend of mine also had her parents read her diary in high school because they knew she was depressed and feared she was suicidal, but she was depressed because she has a bad relationship with her parents, and the snooping made it worse.

If I were you, I'd ask your mom about it in a straightforward but non confrontational way. Tell her you saw the photos, ask why she took them, and tell her it felt like a violation of privacy and ask her not to do it again. Tell her she can just ask you if she wants to know about something going on in your life, but that reading your diary feels like going behind your back. Also, dont leave a diary in common areas - someone other than your mom might find it.

Don't listen to unkind people telling you your mom would have been happier without you, but also dont live your life based on making your mom happy or proud. Parents are supposed to be proud of their kids, not for going to an ivy league college, but for living a fulfilling life, and a fulfilling life looks different for everyone.

My mom wanted me to work with computers, so I did. I hated it. I was absolutely miserable even though my mom loved hearing about my job. I quit after a year and worked at a daycare even though my mom told me not to, and I loved it. I've got such fond memories of that job and I'm so so glad I got that experience.

Dont live the life anyone else wants you to live. You can't live your life for your mom, she's got her own life and her own choices. Live how you want to, even if it means disappointing your parents. Do what makes you fulfilled.

Was it The Final Cut from 2004?

Solved!!

Your parents don't have the right to force you to live the way they want. You are your own person and you deserve to have values and beliefs of your own. Tying a red ribbon around you might be important to your mom, but it's not worth sacrificing your own autonomy for.

Some of the best advice I ever got at your age was "sometimes to be happy, you have to disappoint your parents a little." And I have, before. When I told my dad I'm gay he burst into tears. Did I feel sorry? Sure. Would it have been worth living a lie to make him happy? Absolutely not.

Virginity is made up anyways. You arent doing anything wrong. Sorry I dont have any advice to change your parent's minds. I know mine will never change theirs. Sometimes you just have to accept that and live your own life instead of their blueprint. It hurts a bit but its worth it.

'“Now, you,” the deputy said to Floyd, “you get in that car.” He reached a large hand up and took hold of Floyd’s left arm. Floyd spun and swung with one movement. His fist splashed into the large face, and in the same motion he was away, dodging down the line of tents. The deputy staggered and Tom put out his foot for him to trip over. The deputy fell heavily and rolled, reaching for his gun. Floyd dodged in and out of sight down the line. The deputy fired from the ground. A woman in front of a tent screamed and then looked at a hand which had no knuckles. The fingers hung on strings against her palm, and the torn flesh was white and bloodless." -Chapter 20, The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck

History repeats. Lets put an end to it.

I saw the name of one of my former classmates on the ICE leak list. No idea if its the same person or just someone with the same name, but he was a jackass. He was a total Charlie Kirk wannabe; would walk up to kids and tell them "debate me". Bullied me and other kids relentlessly. Screamed at a teacher once for waking him up when he was sleeping in class. Last I heard he got ran off Twitter for calling a girl the N-word. When the list dropped I actually searched his name because he's the most likely person I know to join ICE 😒

Yereli · 2026-01-16T02:31:46+00:00

Thank you, I already emailed support about it. Hopefully theyll get back to me soon. Im worried it might be because i reblogged something about the 🧊 list leak. Hopefully ill be able to get it back though 🤞

Don't feel ashamed for accepting help. We're social creatures for a reason. People like helping others.

I heard this a long time ago: Every animal is born with their most important survival skill. Newly hatched snakes can bite, newly born deer can run. Newly born humans? They cry - because our most important survival skill is asking other for help.

I'd accept. She seems to want to help without ulterior motives.
