Teddy's message to the world:
You told me it was a secret, our secret, you told me you loved me, that this was what boys and girls did. I said "no" so many times but it didn't stop you forcing me, locking me in rooms until you got what you wanted. You got me so scared in the end I gave up and complied. Maybe you were hurt first but you were still responsible. No means No. Age isn't all about numbers, it's about knowledge. In that way you were older than me and you hurt me. Lets get rid of this taboo of child-on-child sexual abuse. It happens....

It happened to me. She was only 3 years older than me, but she was an adult and I was a child.
I've never heard of it happening to anyone else -thank you so much for writing about this. You have articulated aspects of the experience that I've struggled to discribe for years.
I'm sorry you were hurt thought glad you found my tag and found it helpful. For a long time before I joined Pandora's Aquarium I thought I was alone also.
I found there were many people hurt by children close to their age and by children younger than them.
