This is one of the many cases that I am a hypocrite when it comes to myself. When I read or learn about others, I think of course they are to young to consent, but I don't feel the same for myself. I was about the same age, and I just always get back to the thought that surely I could have stopped it from happening.
As far as shame goes, I don't really have a grasp of what it is. The same comment about the shame not belonging to me was made by the head of the group I'm joining. It doesn't really help me know how to get rid of it though.
