    Imagine yourself in her shoes when it happened..

    Having no control over what's happening to you, getting tortured with the female body's most sensitive part.. I could say a lot more.

    People don't just forget that.. or let it go after the day it happened..It haunts you. Especially if they were molested by a close one.

    They often feel it's their own fault they got raped or that they have to be extra special to that person that raped them and suck up to them or they feel as though the rapist took something from them they'll never have back, among other things. It's tragic.

    Honestly, what doesn't make rape such a scarring experience..?

    rape is a terrifying adventure. my perfect chum became sexually abused and subsequently is pregnant. its replaced her existence. she has to bypass to a psychological insitution after she provides start because of the fact it has messed her up psychologically. she is terrified to bypass exterior or perhaps back to college because of the fact shes so scared tht it may take place back. shes afraid of all adult men, and cant cope with being in an enclosed area because of the fact if her adventure. rape isnt something u ever recover from. u in simple terms dont. it keeps to be in ur head each and every minute of on a daily basis. and all u bear in thoughts is the soreness, the adventure, and the psychological suffering tht this one individual led to u. i hoope this helps u understand in simple terms how plenty those women go through prevalent of their lives
