I am very proud of you young lady; and yes I know it must have been difficult for you; but vow, you will be able to look back at this as an experience that you have learnt from; but you know what ...you have also help others in the same or similar situations to be strong and to do what is right; furthermore you have at least helped to see to it that this particular person cannot hurt any other girls.

I salute you, young lady!

And again I thank somebody like Diovan, for reaching out.

DiovanLestat agony auntThanks for the update babes,

There are a lot of people here that were very worried about you. It was very kind of you to come back and tell us how you are getting on. You have been very sensible and brave. Although you were scared you come to Dear Cupid and told us what happened to you. A lot of people are frightened to report Rape, but you went and you told. You have stopped this man from hurting someone else the way he hurt you. You have nothing to be ashamed off, you should be very proud of yourself. You have protected the world from this nasty beast, and for that I thank you very much. Take care of yourself, I am thinking about you and wishing you good luck, good health and happiness for the rest of your life. Blessings

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Thank you to everyone who gave me good advice to help me get over this terrifying and traumatic situation and it was fairly hard for me, but I was able to seek help and feel safer with it all being over with a lot of the aunts and uncles on here were right he had done this before and was only able to be locked away because he was caught in this act once more and he had been on trial before and was sentenced to 10 years minimum sentence and I feel much better and what really made me speak up was the fact that I am only 13 and i have my whole life ahead of me and i shouldn't have to live with that type of fear or guilt of thinking that it was all my fault so i just wanted to thank everyone who helped me i feel much better...

It is 100% rape. Its rape when one person wants to have sex and the other doesn't want it yet the other person forces them to do it. You should talk to someone about it, don't keep it in because its not your fault. Don't ever blame yourself.

A female reader, DiovanLestat United Kingdom + , writes (31 August 2008):

DiovanLestat agony auntYou said NO, he continued, you didn't want to do it.. That's rape... Even if he is your boyfriend, it is still classed as date rape. Sorry babes he hurt you, but you have done nothing wrong. You went to the pictures with your boyfriend, you did not expect him to force you to have sex. I don't know if he used a condom, so there is still a chance of sexual infections and pregnancy. You did nothing wrong. You are right to be scared of him. Don't worry babes....

PLEASE GO TELL YOUR MUM.. your mum will understand and she will tell you what to do....

You can also phone the rape crisis people, here is their website.. http://www.rainn.org/

A male reader, sparky +, writes (31 August 2008):

I'm very sad to agree that it was rape. Anytime it is non-consensual (not agreed), it is rape. This man sounds cruel, knowing it was your first time, and didn't stop. Generally, this may not have been the first time he's done that, and probably won't be the last. I know it will be difficult and take courage, but please go to the authorities to report him, or he may do this to another girl. Best of luck to you.

It is always rape if you are forced to have sex against your will. You can seek non-judgemental advice from rape crisis centres or women's organisations. I hope you can tell your family. You can of course report it to the police, but if this happened a while ago so there is no physical evidence you were forced, and no one saw it happen, it may be difficult to get the guy who assaulted you charged and convicted. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Do seek the help you need.
