Hello, my name is Siena Wagner. I am 18 years old and I have red hair with a bit of natural curl. My body is petite but toned from swimming every day. I have a frown on my face because today has been a difficult one for me.

I grew up in an Italian family, so we always spent our summers at the pool. We would play games like Marco Polo and race each other across the water. My parents were strict about us never going too far away from the pool area though.

One day when I was 15 years old, a group of older boys invited me to go swimming in the lake that was behind our house. They promised it would be an adventure and we could have fun together. I didn't want to disappoint them, so I went along with them.

We were only out there for a few minutes when one of the boys started teasing me about my curly hair. He said that it looked like a pile of snakes on top of my head and made fun of me for having "hairy pussy".

I was so embarrassed and humiliated that I didn't want to go back home, so I stayed out in the lake with them. They started playing a game where they would try to scare me by jumping up behind me while I was swimming. But when one of them actually did scare me, he ended up pulling me underwater and holding me there until I almost drowned.

I managed to fight my way back up to the surface, but it was too late. The boys had already left me there to fend for myself. It took me hours to swim back to shore and by the time I got home, I was completely exhausted and traumatized.

From that day forward, I didn't feel comfortable going in the water without someone else around. I still love to swim but it takes a lot of effort for me to get over my fear.
