First of all, I am thirteen. I was walking my dog around the block and a car filled with young men, possibly 16-22 whistled and shouted, “Damnnn” as I bent over fix my dog’s harness. I felt extremely violated and I still do. People comment on how I am so lucky to have larger hips, butt and thighs. But I am still a child and I am being sexualized. This needs to stop.
