Almost 30 Years ago when she was still an innocent virgin my now wife was pack raped by no less than 4 men who'm I knew at a party where they stood around and laughed at her responses and in experience. It haunts her terribly to this day and any time she feels aroused it brings back horrid memories of that night.

NEVER stay silent PLEASE talk to someone it WILL help.

This is the most powerful rape awareness ad I have ever seen.... it made me sad, yet feel like it's more of a problem than people know...

I was. I was just a boy. Now I'm a stronger man and a better person. but still, I was.

I was raped by my older brother and by another family member. I was too afraid to say anything for years. It kept happening for years, until one day I got up enough courage and told my family. I wanted to die. I was so ashamed. I know it wasn't my fault, I know I didn't cause it but I still carry it. I'm 22 now. When I told my family I was still a little girl of 9. Sometimes I cry about it but I hope that I can help people that have gone through the same. Stay strong you guys. We made it. =)

@love2Spark - I completely understand; that's a big part of why I never reported mine, and unfortunately, it is a shared feeling for many of us. There's a real fear of not being believed or being blamed for what happened.

I was by a guy I was dating at the time, during my senior year of college, on May 28, 2005. I was (and still am) too scared and ashamed to report it. I was a virgin prior to that.  What's really scary is that he was attending my same university, studying to become a social worker.

I was sexually assaulted. but I am afraid to speak out about, that some how someone someone will say it was my fault. It happened so long ago, but it still affects me every day.
