They Think I’m a Slut

I’m 18 years old.
When I was 16,
I started to rebel against society.
I became defiant and started living freely.
I met a lot of people who helped me.
Other people I used to be close to,
Started drifting away,
Because they thought I was a bad person.
Just because I demanded my rights and was open about my feelings.
I’m open minded,
But I’m not what they think.
I am person who like to read,
A person who likes to learn about everything.
I face harassment on social media every day.
People comment on how I look,
How I dress,
My voice,
Everything imaginable.
Guys look at me and see a slut who wants to have sex,
And whenever I try to make new friends,
The conversations always turn to sex.
It’s like I only exist for that.
I’m proud of myself for defying society’s rules.
I’m proud of myself for knowing how to defend myself.
