When I was in grade 8 and 9, I was a perverted person. A generally well-meaning guy, but still perverted. In grade 9, I made a TON of sexual comments about this one girl, and I didn't even think I was doing anything wrong. It wasn't explicit stuff. It was more like "here let me get that for you" and in the process of bending down to get something, taking a peek at a girl's private parts.
In grade 8, I did some of that stuff, but it was more physical than sexual. I used to pat this one girl REALLY hard on the back, so that she'd say "ow", and when she told me to stop, I just kept on hitting her. I still didn't think that was THAT wrong, because nobody said to me "You're a bad person". Actually, I'm going to be honest. I think I knew that it was wrong to some degree, but I didn't think the EFFECTS would be very severe. So I kept on doing stuff like this.
But now I know so much about abuse (although not everything)...I know what the effects are. I'm so worried that I ruined both of those girls' lives. I've done a lot of stupid stuff in my life, but NEVER have I thought I ruined somebody's life!
Nowadays, I try my best to atone for the things I've done, and I try my best to be an honourable person, like my grandfather, who died when I was in grade 7. This means no more of those perverted stuff. I have to make my grandpa proud, and I have to make everything alright again.
