I was raped when I was 14. I was left violated, bruised and bleeding with any naivety and innocence I had completely stolen from me. The fact that someone even thought that this bill would be a good idea makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. Rape is rape. It doesn’t matter if it’s a stranger on the street or your boyfriend who doesn’t listen when you say you don’t want to. NO MEANS NO. It is never a subliminal yes. It doesn’t need redefining. If anything, it needs harsher punishments for rapists.

Whether you’re a survivor, a woman, a man, it’s something that is important. Every two minutes, someone is sexually assaulted. You never know, you might know someone that was or is being assaulted. Sign this petition to keep them safe, yourself, and to honor your friends or family that have survived through it or been taken away because of it.

A video surrounding the emotional crisis that comes with being raped, using Naomi Clark from 90210.
If you’ve been sexually assaulted, or know someone who has, keeping your silence will do nothing but kill you in the end. They will do it again, possibly to you, so stand up and take back your strength, save someone else from the fate you’ve been forced into. Take it back from the bastard(s) that hurt you. Whether you’re male, female, transgender, anyone… rape and molestation are NEVER your fault, and there’s NOTHING to be ashamed of. Go to your local police station, find a female cop, and tell her what happened to you.
Or at least contact RAINN: Rape Abuse and Incest National Network. They have a sexual assault hotline that can help you. There’s both one for the phone, or if you’re scared of being overheard, there’s one online too. It’s free, confidential, and there for you 24/7. Do not be afraid to get yourself some help, even if it’s anonymous. Take it from me, that trying to deal with it on your own could lead you into a very dark and self-destructive place.

Posting this again because it’s that important. This time via YouTube for people that don’t like Tumblr’s video player.
A video surrounding the emotional crisis that comes with being raped, using Naomi Clark from 90210. I don’t watch this show, but I wanted to see how they were handling this storyline. Could be better (or worse, depending on how you want to view it from a realistic standpoint), but it’s not bad for a teen soap on the CW.
