I'm glad you had good instincts and that you followed them and ultimately got out of there safe. You really are brave to share your story...but I know it will help someone, it will make someone remember to listen to that "voice" in their head/heart.

I'm afraid that there are a lot more young women out there going through things like this in silence. Whether out of fear or shame, they don't speak up. There really does need to be a class for young women while still in high school. I think so many of them are just way too trusting.TSuttles Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395893524532861566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-74662699271124886042011-08-07T19:47:28.705-05:002011-08-07T19:47:28.705-05:00Pretty scary stuff!!

That time, I didn't follow mine and I was raped plain and simple. It was an awful experience, as yours was, but I came out a lot smarter and a lot less trusting after it.
