I was abused by a first grade teacher, sexually abused by a teacher assistant and mentally abused too.

When I moved to California from Michigan, I was enrolled in one of the elementary schools in Los Angeles.

I was bullied by students and the teacher for four months.

Nobody could believe me when I was bullied.

I was forced to show my private parts in the restroom by students.

One day the teacher assistant would check my butt for a bruise without my parents’ permission.

Also, I was taped to the chair by the first grade teacher when I was out of the chair repeatedly.

I didn’t even know what was right and wrong at that time.

I told my parents about the problems at school.

I thought they didn’t believe me at that time until I injured my forehead from being pushed by a student, so they decided to take me out of school.

It took about 20 years for me to tell the truth about my abuse experience to my parents.

If you’ve got kids please tell them it okay to say something right away.
