Transcripts
it is really an eye-opener because when
it happens to me I realized that this
kind of things happens to boys as well
and it's not just those when I was 16 I
usually take the bus home
this guy actually friender with me
that's one time where I actually skipped
a bus and I have to go back home but
generally so he actually offered me a
ride on his bike it is because I think I
know him already then it would be a
great chance to get back home as fast as
I can
during that right I felt very very
uncomfortable he asked me would I watch
pornography before and then whether I'm
interested in watching him touch him and
about cars all those all
most of the men's actually try to keep
it down to themselves as men everyone
would think they have us wrong you know
you can fight them because of our Asians
we tend not to fight back so we just
give in when I first came to the city I
stay over at one of my friend's house
that's one night I felt something was
funneling on my private person I just
woke up and then I'm seeing him in that
position immediately triggered me to
just show him saying why are you doing
when I shot him he actually froze in the
position where his hands was held up
it's just like some kids who got caught
stealing the keys I was taught what I'll
touch is is a good touch and water after
his is not good if not I don't think I
would know how to react at part-time
pair kids away
two kids actually even when they are
very young itself tend to talk to them
you can touch you about the necessary
things that you have to do you need to
voice all those kind of things because
you're younger is you are not exposed to
a lot of things you do know what to do
next
for boys victims otherwise them if they
can please come up let people know that
actually these craft things happens let
with other people a way that we can
actually work together to stop this
