Looking back, I still can’t believe I let my friend convince me to go to church camp three years ago. The trip was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I tried to make the most of it. The last night was supposed to be a fun, laid-back gathering, but things took a weird turn. I was just chillin’ with my boyfriend in the gym when this older guy comes up to me and starts asking me random questions. It was already pretty awkward, but then he says, “I’m not going to rape you or anything,” and just laughs it off. I was totally taken aback and felt a major red flag. He kept trying to talk to me and invade my personal space, even when I tried to create some distance. Luckily, he eventually walked away, but the whole encounter left me feeling uneasy and creeped out.
