Long story short when I was 11 my family moved from Norway to Kenya due to my mom not wanting me to turn out westernised like my oldest sister. She originally told us it was a holiday but that was a lie. I started school there and I was the youngest person in my class by a year, I was in the same grade as another older sister who is older than me by two years and I just didn’t fit in with my class due to my age and the language barrier ( I didn’t speak Swahili or English very well). I instead became close to my religion teacher who taught Quran and Arabic at a Muslim private school. We were really close for months and he would touch me in places I didn’t know it was wrong for me to be touched like my boobs and my vagina. We did have sex education in school in Norway and I would say I was a great student but I didn’t pay a lot of attention due to my struggles with OCD ( I would count the tree leaves on the trees outside). My sister saw the teacher touch me inappropriately and she reported it to my mom who reported it to the headmaster. That same week that teacher was fired and everyone in my class started hating me because he was everyone’s favourite teacher. Other teachers became increasingly cruel to me and I didn’t know why. One would hit me with a dictionary on the head and would start every class of by insulting me and telling me to run off to my mom, he would always provoke me to cry before starting the class my one and only friend in the class would try to not make me cry but I still cried every time. I didn’t know why because I didn’t know I was molested no one told me anything. Most of my classmates would talk shit about me in Somali because they were all Somali and they thought I wouldn’t know it. I could understand it just not speak it. My sister and my mother refused to talk about it. My sister didn’t receive any of the consequences just me. The teacher who molested me went on to become leader of the Boy Scouts. I feel so sick.
