ok, so... apparently, I'm going to SeaWorld with my little cousins and baby brother to get Halloween candy, dress up, and ride rides... but the Selena Gomez costume I wanna wear and have to wear is nearly skin-tight and shows skin. As I have pointed out previously in my posts, I'm a target for perverts and pedophiles. I don't have a choice to change my costume, plus I'm in love with it, but it makes me scared that I will get sexually assaulted. I have to wear it 'cause my mum and gramma bought all...
