Rape nd depression!....i cannot deal witht he pain!

I cannot deal with the pain of being raped.....it first happened when i was 7.it was no ordinary rape, i was raped by 5 men during two weeks at camp...

i vowed never to let a guy touch me again untill last year i got raped again..i stil hv not told n e one about my rape wheni was 7 and not even last years rape.....i cnnot bear the pain of putting my family through it all....i feel so dirty and ashamed like i should hv stopped it....

how does someone cope with something as brutal and deppressing as that?..plz i need help

You're letting the guys get away with it if you don't tell anyone . What if they do/or already have done it to someone else too ?

You couldn't stop it . It's not your fault . How about all the other girls that have gotten raped ? If they couldn't stop it, what makes you think you could've ?

Your family deserves to know . They love you . It hurts more knowing that you couldn't tell them about it , dear . You have a voice .

Use it .

Most important thing.. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT! never doubt that.

i also agree about telling your parents. hunn if you have the time read the book 'Speak' by Laurie Halse Anderson.

it deals with the issue of rape and the girl didn't talk to anyone about it..and the book ends with her finding her voice.
you have to tell your family. i don't think they'de think less of you one bit.

good luck and all the best! =]

I want to thankyou all for posting all ur thougths...i know it wil b hard but i will be on my way to telling my parents soon....scared but determined!

You're not hurting anyone but yourself. You can't sleep at night and he's smiling...probably hurting someone else. Don't be stupid! If what you say is TRUTH open up your damn mouth and tell someone. Imagine how your family would feel if they found out through a third party! Your family would wonder why you weren't able to go to them and tell them. They would wonder what they did wrong...OPEN YOUR MOUTH! The future consequences would not be worth it!

That makees me sick how could any one do that to any one it makes me so pissed off my girl friend was raped by her dad she told me i told a counciler i felt bad because she had to move but me and her talk every day now try telling some one you trust

I was raped when i was 8! look, it took me a really long time to get over it! actually i never did! but i dealt withit by realizing that it wasn't my fault! and its not yours either! the people who raped you are low lifes and they don't deserve having someone like you thinking about them! just remember that its not ur fault!and if u ever need 2 talk im here!=)

Well, you need to tell someone about it. if you got raped, it's not your fault, it's not like you did anything wrong. don't be afraid to tell people the truth about what happened, including your family. you need someone to be there for you when your feeling like this who knows what's going on. not to tell someone might only make you feel worse.
