literallyĀ ok so not a funny story but kind of funny?Ā when I was nine I encountered rape in a book and I was like hey mom whatās this meanĀ and she explained it and I was like oh. gross.Ā and then like two weeks later a girl on the bus abruptly disclosed her csa and we were all like ????? what ????Ā but I was like wait hang on thereās a word for that āļøš¤Ā and explained what it meant and that it was illegal and that you could talk to a teacher or my mom if it had happened to youĀ and everyone was like ohhhhh I see I see and very somberly comforted the girlĀ (she was safe she was removed from her home and living with my neighbor at the time so it wasnāt Urgent)
And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers donāt want them to.
