TW for mentions of violence, abuse, s*x*al ab*se and a*s*ult and bullying, whumpers are female and the whumpee is female.
Hi I think your a really talented writer and I love your blog! I was wondering if you could help me with my oc in my story I apologize if the question is a bit uncomfortable I can delete this if you would like I added censors as well since it talks about some sensitive topics
My question is if the things listed below that were done to the whumpee do those count as s*x*al ass*ult , physical ass*ult, battery, bullying, or s*xual abuse/physical ab*se and does she have the right to label it as those things or have trauma from it?
My whumpee was badly bullied for most of her adolescent years in school and in the story she is unsure whether she has valid trauma
Basically she was daily thrown around, dragged around, tied down using jump rope, scratched, and the aggressors/whumpers would dig their nails into her skin, they’d also step on her and use her as a prop or treat her like an animal, they’d shove her up against walls, grab her by her shirt collar, push her, knock her down etc, she never was left with severe injuries at most scrapes, scratches, minor rope burn, and bruises, nobody sees it as bullying or ass*ult because the whumpers pretended it was friends playing around/rough play She was also teased pretty badly and called a lot of hurtful names and insults, publicly humiliated daily by the whumpers teachers and students, teachers at the school encouraged the bullying and would join in with the teasing and humiliation and would allow mass rumors made by the whumpers spread around
and treat her unfairly.
The whumpers also would make death threats and tried pressuring her into c*tting herself with a razor blade telling her she deserved to d*e and insulting her in the process they also would up make rumors that the whumpee was su*cidal
And c*t herself and the whumpers would tell her to go to a mental institution and then have teachers, staff, and other kids join in and whumpers would force her to watch things she was grossed out/uncomfortable with including P*rn
My oc/whumpee is unsure whether that could classify as valid for having trauma
As for my next question is a bit on a more uncomfortable topic but she could have been possibly s*xually ass*ulted but is unsure if she has the right to label it as that.
The aggressor for the groping part
was female also and whumpee is also female, most of them are female
there’s only one male but he doesn’t do anything besides insults and teasing, there all young as well adolescents, the a whumpers also covered it up as friend playing
She was touched, slapped, poked, pinched, grabbed around her chest/breasts, and abdomen
Bit on her shoulders, arms breasts and stomach, would lift up her clothes, or pull down her clothes some . Privately and publicly And touch her
She wouldn’t always say get off or stop out of fear and manipulation that it was ok cuz she was just playing and was young so had not much ah idea of what was happening and it never left anything more than red marks, small indentations, minor scratches and bruises
She would also try to force herself into the room if whumpee was changing.
This was a daily thing for years as well and eventually whumpee got uncomfortable with it but the whumper continued and would get more aggressive and violating as years went on
Everyone in whumpee’s life says it doesn’t classify as s*x*al ass*ult/ab*se so Whumpee is unsure of how to label it. Mostly because everyone says they were all minors, and saw it as friends playing and because the whumpers are female
Hope this wasn’t too uncomfortable of an ask so sorry if it was and I can delete it if you need
To start, while I do have quite a bit of education in psychology and criminal justice, I'm not an expert, and I don't claim that any of what Im saying is technically a fact. Im just using my knowledge, experience and research about these kind of topics to give my answer (so basically this is just an educated opinion). Also Im going to try to address everything and be as clear as possible, but I tend to get kind of rambly with stuff like this. Either way I hope at least something in this helps you.
Alright, yes she can label it as trauma. Trauma is not a black and white thing-- nobody can say that what someone else has experienced was not traumatic, and trauma is not something that can be controlled. To pull from the dictionary, trauma is "A very difficult or unpleasant experience that causes someone to have mental or emotional problems usually for a long time." What im trying to get at here is that it doesn't really matter the extent of what happened to her or who did it, what matters is how it affected her; which in this case, I would say fits the bill. The events you list are definitely traumatic experiences.
As for the legal terms (asking if it can be called assault or battery and such) I would say the answer again is pretty much yes for everything, though im not going to delve into the definitions.
Going into the specifics of the sexual assault question, the first thing I wanna say is that it does not matter that her aggressors are female; women can sexually assault people too (and be abusers as well) Their gender does not change the wrongness of what they are doing.
The fact that they are minors also doesn't matter. Minors can commit (and even be charged with) sexual assault and other kinds of assault. I don't know how old your ocs are in these situations but it seems like they'd be old enough to know that its not okay to do what they are doing. [I found a .gov resource that basically says minors can be offenders; it talks about juvenile offenders against minors and its really long but pretty much lets us know that minors can be offenders against other minors]
Also you say that she doesn't always say no-- lack of response or lack of injury does not equal consent.
Anyways, I hope this helps, I tried to be less opinionated and do some research for most of this, and I can link sources if you'd like.
(Also this is a very serious topic to discuss, I tried to tag everything to keep this as safe as possible, but please let me know if I missed anything)
