Hi all. It's been absolute ages since I've posted in this group. Hope you've all been well!
I'm plotting a new story in which a girl basically gets coerced into doing a lot more sexually with a boy than she wants to. They're hooking up, and she keeps telling him no, but he keeps going. It doesn't finish in actual sex, but afterwards, the girl is full of guilt for somehow not being forceful enough to stop him (though of course we all know that's not the real problem here).
I'm struggling with what an appropriate resolution would be -- which is kind of disturbing, to be honest. If I, as a grown woman, am not sure what to do with a situation like this, what does that mean for teenage girls? It's not exactly something you could go to the police with, and telling a teacher or counselor also seems weird if it happened outside of school. I'd love your ideas for how my character could address this and move forward while also providing some sort of retribution to the offending boy.
