sweetaslemons Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 hey everyone, i'm really glad i found this site. im 16 years old and i was raped 4 years ago. i still haven't told anyone about it yet. i guess its because im scared they're not going to believe me or they're gonna blame me, and i just dont really have the courage to tell anyone. these past few years have been hell and i've been through it all. first denial, then guilt, then depression and so on. i came here because i want to find some answers and understanding and more than anything support. i cant wait to get talking to you lovely ladies and i hope i can make some friends on here as well Link to post
