Painful Rejection Experience

I was in 8th grade, I rejected a guy and he decided to take his anger out on me by sexually harassing me the rest of the school year. I never spoke about it to my mom until a few years back (10th grade). I wish I had the comfort she gave me that day on the days I was actually suffering but I was scared she would have said it was my fault because by that time I would see a lot of girl get harassed in some kind of way and the parents blamed them.
