It is rape. A lot of people tend to think that only vaginal sex is considered rape, but forced oral or anal sex is also rape. You're a minor, so you can't consent, and "consenting" by giving in when you feel pressured to do so isn't true consent, either.
Thank you. It's been a strange relief to finally say all of what happened, not just the bit I chose to remember instead of blocking out (what was for me) the worst part.

Thanks for the clarification. He was also a minor (13-14) and I was 13 at the time it happened - because he was a minor as well and because there was no age gap, does this change anything?

Take care
