Answers:
Ok first, take a deep breath and think about what just happened, how it happened, and why it happened!.
Telling your parents is a must!. It is very important!. You could say something like, "Mom, Dad, we need to talk!. Promise you won't freak out!?" Or something like that!.
Then simply tell them you got raped!. You could have contracted a sexually transmitted disease!.
Think about this, the rapist has probably raped more people than just you!. And those people could have had many boyfriends/girlfriends!. Which means that he exposed you to everything!.
Everything can be hectic, I know!. I'm sorry you have to go through this!. I wish all the evil people in the world would disappear!.
You should have a medical exam!. Don't refuse it!.
The doctor, will do whatever he/she needs to do to make sure you are okay!. You need to trust the doctor, they have had many other patients in their time, and a few have probably been in your position!.
You probably are okay, just try to relax!.
Getting over it will take time!. Don't focus on it!. Try not to even think about it!. It was probably a really frightening experience, right!? I'm really sorry about that!. Why do people have to go and hurt other people!? Arrgh!. Don't they know the pain and trauma they cause!?!!
Okay sorry, I'm getting worked up!. I'm mad now!. Because Im thinking about it!.
But good luck to you!! :)
I hope you feel better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would tell you parents! sweetie cause its hard enough to deal with rape much less by yourself!. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG and by keeping that secret I know you must feel like you did which you DID NOT!. Tell them and they can help you cope and get though it and they go with you to the help classes or anything that you need!. They are there for you and this is a tough time!. The medical exam would be too late pro-bally but they might do a pap smear which is not painful at all but if you don not want that I;m sure you can deny it but it might be help full to test for any trauma or dieses but I wish you the best and will pray that things get better!. take care and God blessWww@Answer-Health@Com

I was also raped at your age!. I never told my parents and I never went to the police for fear of not being believed and because I was so embarrased!. It was a guy I knew who even though I was throwing up - continued with what he was doing!. He was a 20 year old rugby player!. It took me a long time to get over it as I stupidly blamed myself for being drunk and putting myself in a vulnerable position!.
I think it would have helped to tell my parents - or at least my mum!. I would want my girls to tell me if a thing like this had happened to them!. Do you know who he is!? Do you have witnesses!?
If so, go to the police!. It may be too late for a medical exam unless he hurt you and there are marks!. If you were a virgin - but aren't now on examination, that wouldn't be considered proof of rape!.
Poor, poor you!. Be strong, don't let his violence affect you more than it already has!. Hold your head up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should tell your parents immediately!.

If you have showered or bathed since the incident, there is no reason to do what they call a "rape kit" in hospitals, because the evidence is gone!. However, you do still need to be tested for pregnancy and STD's just to be safe!.

Please tell your parents!. They can help you with this difficult issue, or get outside help for you if it makes you more comfortable!. Don't wait any longer!.

EDIT: No one can make you submit to any medical procedure against your will, not even your parents!. But you do need to at least let them draw blood to test for pregnancy and diseases!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really need to share this awful burden with someone as soon as you can- remember you have done nothing wrong!. Your parents' would not want you to carry this alone so try to confide in them!. You can get the Police to tell them if you think it would be easier- they have specially trained female officers to help you and go through your options!.
It would be advisable to be checked for pregnancy and infections, as well as to talked to someone who is trained to help you work through the feelings and stress attached to your experience so that you can come to terms with it!.
Good luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com

As emotionally painful as it is, It would have been best if you had a medical exam so they can help stop it happening to other girls but for now just let your parents know, you shouldn't have to go through this alone!.

Make sure you get some professional help as they can help you though it!. I'm sorry you had to go through that and hope you can get past it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh that much be terrible for you!. I think you should take to an adult as they could help you alot make sure you make it clear to them that you dont want anybody interfering that could make the problem worse and let them know that you want to make all your own dissuasion on what to do about the matter!. Don't let anybody force you into something you dont want to do!.

My advice would to tell the police if you know the person then this could help as they will be able to catch him!.

There may or been cctv cameras around so this could help but obviously i dont know the in's and out's of it!. They may want you to have a medcial exam if they do you should def go ahead with it as you cant let people get away with things like that!.

Just take your time!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sorry Honey!. Rape is a horrible thing to go threw!. You just can't get over it!. Something bad happened to you!. I think you should really talk to someone!.Your parents are going to want to be there for you!. I know you want to forget about it & move on!. You can't without talking to someone!. Can you email this to your mom!? or write it in a letter!? You should have an exam to make sure you're ok!. It's your choice though!. http://www!.rainn!.org/ You can look in the phone book for a rape hotline!. I'm sure they'll help you!. Good luck love!. Remember you did NOTHING wrong!.

Rape is not your fault, love!. You will need a lot of time to feel better about it!. Look up the Rape Crisis Centre or the Samaritans (often a freephone number) in the Thomson directory or Yellow Pages!. The organisation below will help you find a counsellor in your area for longer term and very good support and help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

talk to someone (preferably an adult) you trust, even if its not your parents!. start a journal and get your feelings out on paper so you dont bottle them up!. i think you should go see a docter, whatever happens, they will help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really need to speak to your mum!. She is the best person to help you or seek professional help for you!. I don't think there is any point in a medical examination as it didn't happen to day so no traces of DNA will be found!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
