I used to live far from my middle school, and my parents would work long hours so they never picked us up after school. Walking back home, a group of guys in their white truck whistled and screamed at me saying i "looked better from the back". I never felt pretty, but i damn sure felt disgusted with myself for so long after this. I was 13.
This was when I was in 6th grade. It was the day after our vacation when I was walking to school as usual, there was a police camp set there which was on the way. I was quite familiar with a few of the officers there especially the one on guard as I'd pass by him everyday and he seemed quite genuine. But that day as I was returning from school he smiled at me a weird one and said that I looked beautiful. He stared at me weirdly until I reached home and realised that the top two buttons of my uniform was undone and the skirt was shorter than what I wore all year long. I could never believe that a person in such a profession would turn out this way.
