Yes, and it's a good idea to talk with a trained counselor about it, and be on the lookout for signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder developing, such as nightmares, staring blankly, or unreasonable fears associated with similar situations!.

You never stated whether you knew the person, or reported this to the police, but it is always best to do this when it is fresh in your mind, and if you can get a friend, or family member to go with you, for moral support, that may help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it's very normal!. It is also normal to not be able to trust people, hear voices or people call you name (that was a big one for me) feeling dirty, (try not to you didn't do anything wrong) questioning your judgement, replaying the horrible situation in your mind to amke sense of it!. You should definately see a therapist to help guide you through the process of healing!. It's not easy!. To me I made it a wall!. I told myself to climb it and get past it!. I did and I'll never look back to grieve and give that person the satisfaction of getting to me!. Good luck
I just read that the school is involved and not in a good way either!. Get your parents to go to the school board and contact a lawyer! This person should have been exspelled! Youare supposed to feel safe in the educational enviornment! There are laws that protect you!. Try to file a restraining order!. I hope this helped you!

It's completely normal to be afraid and paranoid after a traumatizing experience!. Unfortunately, the only solution that I've found to this problem is to just wait it out!. Wait until your brain automatically puts the memory away in the "old and forgotten" category, which might take a while, but once it does, you'll be back to normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yeah thats very normal!. its also normal to feel guilt or dirty eventhough it wasnt your falt and most likely he will never show up again!. you should tell an adult you trust so that guy can get caught!. i felt the same way for about three years but then i got therapy and i felt a lot better!. try not to sweat it so much and look into getting counsiling!. im sorry that happened to you :(Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, it's normal!.

PS- I'd still call the rape crisis line, explain the situation, and see if they have a counselor that could talk to you!. You went thru something wrong!. You can't skip school!. You could use some help in figuring out how to not be scared!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
