Is it normal that i am constantly being sexually taken advantage of?
I am an 18 year old girl, and I have lead a strange, difficult life so far. When I was under the age of 8, men were always trying to hold me, squeeze me, and touch me in ways I felt uncomfortable with. I remember trying to fight my way off their laps, out of their arms, and so on on numerous occasions. When I was nine, a teenager cornered me and pinched my private parts numerous times. Scarred me for life. When I was 11, a guy used to follow me home every day, and grab at me from behind, chase me down and such. From the ages of 12-15 I had two different married men kiss me, and fondle me. When I was 16, my male cousin, who was then 32, was taking care of me while I had a broken leg. He came into my room at night and made me give him blow jobs, and pushed his finger and part of his cock inside me on several occasions. When I was 17, I was in boarding school, and this 25 year old guy took me outside and tried to rape me. He never fully penetrated though before I got away. A few months ago, I was with a trusted friend, and he had a couple drinks, and then he pulled out his cock, and tried to have sex with me. Again, I escaped. Now, at the present, I still have various older men pining after me sexually, and I have decided to just avoid such men completely. Looking back on my life, I am very puzzled why all this has happened to me. I mean, I am pretty, but not like the most stunning girl around. Is there some sick, slutty quality that attracts strange men to me? I have always believed that sex before marriage should be avoided, and tried to conduct myself like a good girl. Also, I dress quite modestly. So I am mystified. A few of these instances I have told family and friends about, but I am afraid they are starting to think I am a slut, or else that I am making things up, so I have stopped talking about such things. But please, be honest, and help me figure out what's wrong with me, so the cycle can stop. Thanks!
