Hi, welcome

If I look back on my life, all 65 years of it, there has been many instances when someone has done an act that I didnt concent to.

• A girl put alcohol in my drink for a laugh as she knew I didnt drink alcohol
• A friend stole money from my wallet and I caught him
• Kids threw rocks on my roof of my new house

And so on.

So in your situation the damage is already done, he cant take back that kiss even if he wanted to. But, when you see him again you can tell him to "never do anything to me ever without my consent or I'll report you to the police"

As part of growing up try to not allow instances to eat you up, that will cause you anxiety and that isnt a nice thing to have.

Thankyou for posting, I'm sure other young people will read this and learn from it.
