A Young Man Harassed me in Sweden when I was 13.

Story for an Adult

· Story for an Adult

I was summoned to the senior high school office because a young man/artist from southern Europe wanted to paint the school's blondest girl.

I was chosen and we were assigned a separate room during the school's weekly activity evening. It quickly became unpleasant, both what he said and what he wanted, and when he stood by the door and leaned over me to kiss me.

I managed to escape, but in the future I took my friend as company/protection. In the painting he made of me, my body had shorter shapes than in reality, and it was also very unpleasant, because it made it so clear what he thought about me.

I do not understand why I had such a feeling of obligation so I continued to participate in the activity only because I had promised to participate.

I do not understand how a school could respond in this way to a request from a complete stranger. And I do not think they should let a young guy be alone with a 13 year old girl. So naive!
