What do I do?...I was raped a few weeks ago...?!
Question: What do I do!?!.!.!.I was raped a few weeks ago!.!.!.!?
Please take this question seriously!. I've already posted it once, but i didn't get that many answers, and I really need some opinions!. I was raped a few weeks ago buy a couple guys from my highschool, I'm 17!. It's probably my fault, I shouldn't have been walking home in the dark it was stupid!. I am pretty sure that I'm not pregnant i'm on birth control (not because i'm sexually active but because of my period)!. I haven't told anyone because it's embarassing, I do not want everyone i know to know what has happened to me or treat me differently because of it!. I have nightmares all the time, wake up screaming, i want to tell someone but can't get up the courage, how can i move on, stop the nightmares, what do i do now, i feel so alone and scared!. And worse i'll have to see these boys everyday when school starts again, I don't know if i can handle that!. Anyone who has been in this situation or just knows something about rape!.!.!.please help me!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

its not your fault!.
don't say that!.
the best thing is to go to a consuler!.
my friend was raped repetitively and i helped her through it!.
i was the first and only to find out!.
she told her step mom and she took her to talk to someone!.
then to the doctors to check for STD's and such!. she said it was scary there because they took a lot of tests and shoved fake pen1s up her to figure out who it was!.
best help, see someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first off no one deserves to be raped!. its not your fault so try and get rid of that thought!. what i suggest you do is try to find a counselor or a friend who you can confide in!. if that doesn't work don't be afraid to tell your mom!. no one its going to put the blame on you!. dont be afraid to stand up and be a voice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
How could it possibly be your fault!? You should have gone to the police immediately!. It is not too late to report it!. It is not embarrassing!. You are a victim!. You need to report and get therapy!. Don't let rapists get away with this crime!. you are a victim, not a guilty person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll never be completely the same!. But I think the best thing to do is find an adult you really trust and tell them the entire story!. Maybe just saying it outloud will help you!. If not ask that person what to do!. This may mean therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to tell someone!. You might want to start out with you most trusted friend or better yet your mom!. Your mom can further handle the situation without word getting out!. You might even want to tell the authorities!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i suggest you tell an adult because then you wont feel as scared or alone on this and they can be the ones to fix the situation!. also never blame something like this on yourself it was completly not your faultWww@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly, you will never get over this until you DEAL with the issue!. This will involve pressing legal charges and finding a good therapist!. I know that's not what you want to hear, as I understand that you want to deal with it privately, but you need help!.
Believe me, I understand!.
Remember that someone who has raped once will more than likely rape again!. Don't let these boys do this to other victims!. Stand up and have a voice!. Let them know that it was NOT okay to take advantage of you, that there IS consequences to their actions!. Believe me, doing this will empower you more than anything ever could!.
Best wishes sweetie!. If you want to talk, feel free to e-mail me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

o my goodness!! why didn't u call the cops right wen it happened!?! they woulda went 2 jail and got what they deserved! u definitely need 2 tell some1 and get help immediately!. u should press charges against them; the sooner the better!. rape is very psychologically damaging and needs 2 be cared 4!. u can't be scared 2 tell some1 or it'll get worse!. don't tell any1 that may get it around the school!. if ppl find out, who cares!? that's life!. don't worry about them!. if they treat u differently, tell them to shut up and they need 2 understand!. tell some1 and get help and press charges and pray!! God bless dear!! and it's most definitely NOT your fault!! stop thinking that!Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok so here's the thing!. you need to tell someone! a bff or a adult or a councler [ik! akward!!] but seriously those guys were jerks and messed up and sick!. now, it was NOT YOUR FAULT!. [its like it wouldnt be ur fault if someone broke into your car just because you left ur wallet and 'made it look tempting'] but i have heard so many things and read so many things saying that if you got raped the first thought is that it was your fault because you did something wrong!. but its not!!!! you didnt force them to do that!.
when you tell someone, your nightmares will go away!!! sleep!!! yay!!
plus these idiots that did this to you are going to probally be put in jail or forever marked on their ID as a sex offender!. [haha to them] so you might not have to see them when you go to school!. [yay] and you can focus on class instead of your safety!!! for pete's sake!. but you need to get into the hospital PRONTO to make absoutly sure you aren't pregnant! those pills only work sometimes!!
hope that helped!! and good luck getting those suckers

Go to the hospital, get examined and if you went to school with them and know who they are, report it to the police!. Dont be embarrassed, its a huge thing for women and most dont know how to react to it!. Please, dont let it go unnoticed, the only way to get through it, is to talk to someone about it!. Contact the police and have the offenders get what they deserve!.
Im sorry you had to go through that, no one deserves to!. It doesnt make you less of a person or weak, it makes the people who did it to you less of a person and weak!. Again, I'm sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Contact 1-800-656-HOPE, or www!.rainn!.org/!. It is the network for rape and incest survivors!. They should be able to give you help and support, even anonymously if you choose!. I suggest that you tell your mom!. You shouldn't be embarrassed!. You need help and support to get through this!.

It is too late for a rape kit, but writing down what you remember now, may help you when you choose to get help!. Also, if the boys are going to harass you and cause problems for you when you start school, document that as well and see a school counselor!. Rape is a very serious crime, don't let these boys think that they got away with it!. Please talk to someone!.
