While all the boys I'm friends with have always been kind and respectful, & so have many of my followers on here have been it really wasn't always like this for me.
I've had a male friend pursue me after I've told them I'm not interested& had a boyfriend. Said male friend ended up grabbing my arm and licking my face as a "joke". He spread rumors at school that I was cheating on my boyfriend too.
I've had an ex boyfriend fake an illness to keep me and then stalk, harass, and slander me online when I left him. I got used to calling the cops.He contacted all my friends to try to pressure them into hating me and making me take him back.
another friend pinned me down a lot as a "joke", or would punch me in my head and back "playfully" even when I asked him to stop.
I've had male friends constantly make comments about my breasts (I choose not to wear a bra) and when I told them to stop, they blamed me for not wearing a bra.
There are a lot of other instances, and I could go into detail, I could "expose" but I won't. I want to move forward with my life.
The reason I'm tweeting this is that I've seen a lot of girls talk about their experiences and I feel like I should talk about mine too and try to send a message out into the world, even though my voice is only 1 of many.
All I ask is for guys to respect women when they say no. Be kind to women. If a girl likes you back, I promise you'll know. And If you don't know, It doesn't hurt to ask. And if you don't get the answer you want? Simply move on.
Not every girl is the perfect "victim" either. But when a girl lashes out with cruel words back at someone that has abused her, please understand why she did it. It doesn't take away from what the guy did.
You also need to learn to respect yourself as well. If someone doesn't want you, and you continue to pursue them, you're not respecting yourself. It doesn't serve you to pine after someone who doesn't feel the same way.
Give yourself the love you give to others. Respect people and listen to them when they say "No." Lastly, respect yourself too.
That's all. Sorry for getting all serious on here.
