A 14 year old came into the clinic today with stomach cramps and bleeding.
She's pregnant.
Her parents came in with her and when they found out, her mother started screaming at her and her father was cursing her out. Both of them going at this child. And neither one of them, not once, asked who did this to her.
Not once.
My consultant asked them to leave the consultation room and they did.
I just need to sit with that for a second because I am struggling. She is 14. She is a child who came in with stomach cramps and is scared and bleeding and instead of anyone wrapping their arms around her the adults in her life are screaming at her like she is the one who did something wrong.
Someone did this to her. A grown man did this to her. And the entire energy in that room was directed at a 14 year old girl.
My consultant removed them and I wanted to stand up and........
“I hope you understand when a girl says NO it means NO and you can overcome the pedophilia blood you inherited from you your grandfather, father and uncle”
OH MY GOODNESS
when i used to to work at starbucks i would have shifts that start at 3pm and my friends would be like "well we can get lunch before then?" and i would be like "no you don't understand i can't"
