Sexual assault is a very sensitive subject for almost everyone. This problem leads to silence, shame, misconceptions, and sometimes even apathy.
My hope for this blog is to bring light to many of the resources that are out there for survivors and to provide factual information for everyone.
good job :) lol

I think it would be good for us to talk more personally, if you feel comfortable with it. I would love to share my story with you, and I am happy that you would like to share your story with me! If you're interested in talking further, please email me at savingstephanie@rocketmail.com (:
ReplyDeletewhen i was in 5th grade i was at the creekwalk, a boy (that you know) follwed me into the blow up slide maze thingy. as i was climbing up to the top to slide down the boy grabbed me by my hair and threw me onto the ground. He then had his friends pin me down and try to take my clothes off. Luckily my guy friend was with me and kicked them in the balls and i ran away and told a police officer. but he ran away. another day i was at m friends house and he lived by her ( i didnt know) me and my friend were at the park and he showed up and said he was going to kill me and he chased me around the neighborhood. luckily i got to her house and hid inside. but he waited outside. when me and your "piggy" became friends i told her the story... she obviously didnt care because she still invited him over one night. i sat in her room alone and scared. thats part the reason i cant stand her anymore.
ReplyDeletewhen i was in 7th grade i was staying the night at my friends house.At the night her cousin was also staying the night. Me and my friend were sharing a bed. In the way early morning her guy cousin came in and started tryin to lay with me. i told him to leave but he pulled out a knife and held it to me. he then started kissing me to the point where i couldnt breathe. he stated fingering me with his hand over my mouth so i couldnt scream. the whole time he had the knife out. I managed to kick my friend and she woke up. he left and acxted like nothing happened. i was devastated. he was 17 and i was 13. The next day at school my friends brother told everyone what happened and that i had been raped. everyone laughd and thought it was funny.
its nice to knonw that me and you have a special connection.
Puma, it is truly unfortunate that some people in our society can't understand what victims of sexual assault have been through, and the damage it can cause. On the bright side, you will ALWAYS have people like me, who do care, and who are willing to make a change in society, and in your personal life. I can reassure you that I will always be here for you, and I am open to do whatever may help you on the path of healing. I am so grateful that you have trusted me enough to share your story, and I will help you in whatever way I can. Stay strong <3

I love you so much and I will support you every step of the way <3
