Thanks to angeliccacophony for the submission.
I’ve been through a lot. I have been raped a total of 3 times in my life. At 11, by a “family friend” who got me drunk. At 16, I was repeated raped by a boyfriend who beat me and told me he’d kill me if I left him. And then, the same year, this happened. I’d buried this memory for a long time, buried it so far away I thought it would never surface again…
((TRIGGERING.)) I was drunk, being...

I'm numb.
When I was younger, I don’t quite recall my earlier years so I apologize for the fuzzyness in this, but my mom told me that everyone she introduced me to loved me and such so I thought I was basically a very loved person by my surroundings so I tried to make as many friends as possible, I remember meeting two kids brother and sister who where the kids of my moms co-worker and their father...

Anonymous asked: My friends are constantly making jokes about rape, and it's driving me insane. They make fun of it so much and it makes me want to cry. They don't take me seriously when I tell them to stop. The most terrifying thing is that I can't figure out why it bothers me as much as it does.
Thanks to perfect-light for sharing.

I was fifteen when it happened. Or guess, when it happened again. He was my ex boyfriend, and we still had feelings for one another. He was physically attached and I was attached emotonally, though I hate to admit that I was. he was older than me, by a little more than three years. I trusted him. I realize now how he manipulated me. He controlled me, our relationship, who I talked to....

Anonymous asked: Perhaps this is presumptuous of me to suggest this, but given the number of stories which seem to get eaten by Tumblr... perhaps you should try to set up a remote submission system? I know the blog microagressions has something like that, and while I don't know how it works, it might be a good way to prevent so many things from never even making it to the ask box.

Anonymous asked: I think the idea of your blog is really great but I have tried to submit my story to you twice and sent a follow-up ask and you have never posted it. It's been several months. If you want to let people share their stories then start posting more submissions. I don't mean to sound rude, it's just frustrating because after constantly feeling helpless and robbed of a voice I thought...

youarebeautiful117 asked: When I was 5 I was raped repeatedly. It was by a 16 year old named Kevin and someone who helped him, he was 5 as well. They punched me, and told me to start taking off my clothes. If I didn't, he'd kill me. Then he started raping me. I know what it's like to feel pain and hurt. Because of that, I feel I'm not pretty or good enough. There are times when I often hate myself. I do...
Thanks to Anonymous for sharing the experience.
This is something I have not been able to talk about easily, because I have an opinion about my rape that not many other victims seem to share.I did know my rapist. Not well, but I knew him. We met through my cousin. After my rape, I wasn’t bogged down by depression, anxiety, PTSD; I didn’t stop trusting people. I did go through feelings of hurt, betrayall I felt fear, sadness, rage....

Anonymous asked: Not every victim is destroyed by their rape, I am living proof. I just wanted to get that out there because there aren't many people I can say that to without getting some sort of negative feedback. I didn't pull away from everyone I love, I didn't stop loving, trusting, or being an open person. And as far as I know, I'm not going to. And if this gets posted, I hope I'm...

My oldest sister sexually abused me when I was little, I never really remembered until two years ago. I have a middle sister who my older one never treated like the way she treated me, I never understood that. I was just a little kid who wanted a big sister. The only time she touched me is when, well she TOUCHED me. I didn’t understand until I was older that what she did was wrong. I never told my...
Anonymous asked: To the anon that's questioning their triggers, you shouldn't question whether or not your triggers are valid, you are the one who has the emotion tied to what happened to you. You know what happened to you, no one else should be able to demean anything that effects you. You are a beautiful human being no matter what has happened in your past.

Save a life, Save yourself.
This Valentine’s Day will mark the 4 year anniversary of the first time I tried to kill myself.
I feel like I should write some long post about how things of changed or I’m glad I didn’t go through with it any of the five times or how my life’s better now. And I could. I honestly might. But in the end it comes down to this:
Suicide is not the answer.

Hi!
I’ve been working up the strength to fully let this out of my system. In the process of analyzing whether to publish this here or forget about it, I remembered all the powerful stories that our wonderful followers have shared with us and published here in an act of courage and bravery. Thinking about all those survivors inspired me to finally let it out to someone more than my...
Thanks to Anonymous for sharing the experience.
I’m 17, and I was raped in front of a group of “friends” by a (then) 21 year old back in May of 2011. I didn’t know how to process it, and ended up continuing to hang out with them (including my rapist) because I denied that it happened to me because I was drunk and nobody who witnessed it cared or thought he raped me. It wasn’t until July that it hit me and I blocked...

Thank you to bstunglips for your opinion.
The amount of times I have heard people imply that girls who “dress like whores should expect to be treated like whores” actually makes me SICK. If a girl is confident with her body and sexuality, and dresses in a way that you call inappropriate, or even sexually attractive, this does NOT give you the right to do with her what you like. Mini skirts and cleavage are NOT an invitation....
Anonymous asked: To the anon that said that what you're doing here is bad, I too am a rape victim and just the realization that there is a place where you can anonymously vent about what happened is helpful beyond measure. I didn't submit my story for advice, I submitted it to get it out there and off of my chest. That in itself was helpful for me. Keep up what you're doing!<3
Anonymous asked: I just wanted to say movements like the slut walk really inspire me and make me feel like there is hope for the future. I've never been physically abused, raped or anything, but it makes me so angry and a honestly cry when I hear stories. How a person can physically push themselves on another and violate them is such an issue to me.

Thank you to Anon for your story.
When I was 5 I remember a boy the same age introducing me to sex and touching me. I also remember in 1st grade kids touching me. At age 7, this girl 4/5 years older than me would molest me and say lets play mom and dad, I thought it was nothing and played back with her. From age 5 to 10, i would visit my family in London by myself every summer, and me and my cousin who’s the same age would...

Thank you to uneventfullife for your story.
I was 17 and still a virgin. He was my best friend. He forced himself on top of me. He made me feel like I wanted it, when I kept on telling him to stop as I was crying. He didn’t stop until he was finished. He bragged to all of his friends. It’s been almost 13 years. After years of therapy, I still can’t give myself to anyone, friends, family and boyfriends. I’ve become an...

Thank you to Anon for sharing your story.
I was 10 years old.
I was at my grandparent’s when my grandfather said we needed to take a walk. When we returned from our walk my biological father was at the house.
I hadn’t seen him in over three years.
He picked me up and hugged me and kissed me. He told me he loved me and he had missed me.
We spent that day together and later that night he came in my room to tuck me in. He told me to lay...

Anonymous asked: I need an opinion. Last year my friend and I were hooking up. But then on New Years, he and I were hooking up like normal and then he laid me down and gave me this look, and with that he took my virginity. It was like I wasn't even there/he didn't even ask. Only when he was inside me he asked if he should get a condom. I said yes, only because I was scared/trying to make it ok. It was...
Anonymous asked: What do you suggest someone say to someone who completely denies that there is more expectations on women to avoid violent crimes than on men? I got into a debate about rape culture, and he insists women aren't expected to do anything more to avoid crime than men.
