On the night I read poetry read poetry and sang songs

'You're taking my creative writing class. I'd love to hear it'

I responded positively

I loved writing

Everyone complains about being a strict teacher Mr. Myers

Do you want her to take her self class I thought I was a great writer

I was excited but I said

'Documents specifying elective courses I already paid'

'In the teacher's class I don't know if I can be assigned'

'Creative arts class' I didn't apply'

Myers told my counselor by mail

with her self class requested to change

A few days later I met Myers' Department of Creative Writing

Who knows Myers' nature I thought there was no one

Everyone can't be Myers I said it was strict, but I thought differently.

'Or did you just kiss me? let me know!'

'I want to see you tomorrow'

'I want you to be happy I hope you had a good weekend'

"Alison Wood Author of "Lolita's Life"

I can't deny

in the world around you

to see this happening how do you see

Being a young, sexualized girl consider it a serious matter

So is the media many celebrities

all famous women

When I was 16 or 17 I need to start a career

A little girl in the media I see it getting sexualized too often

The moment I cease to be a teenager I felt like I was done

It's not that simple

about true consent let's think

for what happened to us For example

Did we say good? Yes Were you an adult? Yes

But was it a genuine agreement? no

Grooming is also very extensive

I didn't realize it at the time

Besides, it was a secret.
