YOU ARE NOT ALONE (rape awareness, naomi clark)

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.

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 your 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.

This was fantastic. Thank you, it must have been hard to make.

@luckythrteen It really was, hah. About halfway through I shut myself down from the emotions in brought forth and kinda went through the motions. I was worried the video would suffer 'cause of it, and I didn't want that with how important this is and is to me. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@ZaChKiLlSiNhAlO Keep living in your little fantasy world of video games where you think you're a big man, and stay out of reality where no one wants to see your existence.

If I am never alone then why do I always feel like I am?

This is chillingly perfect, and it made me cry a little. :( It's such an important issue and like I said on twitter, you're amazing for bringing the spotlight on the subject. Thank you for sharing this with us!

@gaby0189 *huuuuuuuuuugs* Well, you know how important rape awareness and justice is to me. So when I heard about this storyline, I needed to check it out and vid it to try and get to their younger audience, the importance of speaking up and not being a victim, but being a survivor.

I love you sweetie. Thank you for watching.
