normalizing creepsters

This like lowkey like a rant, but I'm turning 18 soon and I've got an entire plethora of pedo/creepster stories that span from when I was like 10 up till now. Like every single reaction to those stories have been unanimously concerned and horrified, even when it came to minor cases of unwelcomed touching, sexual comments or following me home.

But now that I'll be an adult soon, all those creepsters and weird interactions I have will just be boiled down into "people who's interested in me". No one's going to be as concerned when I share these stories cause there just might be a chance it's an innocent guy who wants to get with me.

Like why does growing up also entail accepting this shitty behavior??? LIke do I have to be a legal child to entice some sort of concern???

life sucks man
