How do I tell someone I was sexually abused?!

hello

My best friend was abused by her uncle at a very young age, when she started college with me she soon realised something was wrong and finally plucked up the currage to tell me. she was suicidal at one stage and was in a mental hospital for a while but i stuck by her and was possitive about concentrating on her future. now she has a boyfriend and is 6 months pregnant and working in social care.

you wil be so relieved to tell someone about it and real friends will be there for you always. You can tell a teacher as it is their job to remain confidential of your personal issues. The teacher will care as they want to see you through a good education.

when you are ready you can tell your best friend. but I just want you to know that you cannot delete the memory forever, but telling someone will provode comfort for your bad days when your down.

find an adult that you trust and tell them. be it your parents, a neighbour, a teacher, your doctor, your school nurse, your minister,etc. and tell them. i was sexual;ly abused for 4 years by a family member. it took me a long time to finally say something to somebody but once i did i felt better but even better than that i finally got the help that i needed to overcome it. i am now in therapy. i have learned not only to forgive the person who harmed me by the act but i learned to forgive myself. yes, i said myself. please seek the help that you so badly need. you will be the better off for it.

personal experience.

it seems like you are getting closer to arriving at a solution....now remember it may not be the best thing for you to do to tell anyone else that you were abused...it works for some and for others it doesn't....however if you need to talk about it you want to make sure that you are going to get a supporter and a helper and not someone that will make it harder for you to trust yourself because of what they say to you...be strong and stay strong....the past is behind you and now you must be strong enough to move forward......

its way too late to tell the authorities! but what you need to do is talk to a school counsler or a best friend about it. and relize that stupid a** that messed with you is a low life, and you probably have a lot to offer in this world and just have the corage to say no the next time, i will do something. you see im 18 and if you were my friend i woulda beat the crap out of him.. im sorry that happened

hope i helped
