A female reader, Sabulian United States +, writes (17 July 2009):

My BF of 2 years also date raped me and broke up with me 2 days later. I don't know whether it had to do with his parents or him, but I am feeling guilty. so much so, that I retracted the truth to protect him. My Mom and I both called our local Rape Crisis Hotline. Unfortunately, we were informed that because he is underage (16), he is not guilty of any inappropriate behavior. I am also 16. The difficulties began when his parents were going through a divorce. His father cheated on his mom and thought that this other woman would leave her husband, but she did not. The mom would not accept the dad back and the dad was angry. My BF and I were doing well, until the dad started talking badly about me behind my back. It seems like my BF's dad took out his anger and disappointment on me. He had been nice, but eventually started to complain about me taking his time away from his son.

I suspected and asked Julian about it, but he denied it. When Julian turned 16, his father asked him whether or not he had "done it to me." When Julian said no, his father replied that by 16 he had "dome it." Julian spent the next couple of months talking about having sex. I talked about it with him, but always said that I wasn't ready yet.

I went over his house, but there was no parental supervision and he took advantage of me. I thought that we loved each other, but he was lying to get what he wanted. He is able to get away with what he did to me, and I will have to suffer for the rest of my life.

I've already tried therapy and crisis hotlines, but no one can help me.

Can anyone offer any advice to me of how to get through this, stop feeling guilty, get over my stupid feelings of love and move on with my life?

I am afraid of my future!

GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. If you"boyfriend" raped you, you probably shouldn't give him that title anymore. Tell your parents and the police. If he threatens you or any of your family members play along with it. But as soon as he leaves for work or something leave. Don't do it while he's sleeping either. Then from there god should handle the rest and his deary air won't be going to heaven. I hope you're alright. And i'll pray that for you every night that you're okay.

you need to tell your parents and let them know everyting, if it comes to telling the police don't disagree, i think the police should be informed.

You should have also gone to the doctors to make sure you didn't catch anything.

Hey, im really to hear what happened! Thought i would reply to this as i guess im in a simular situation. I went to a party a month ago and ended up rather wrecked so i went to bed and i woke up to my friends friend raping me! I felt dirty too and really didn't know what to do. I decided to tell me friends two weeks after and the first thing they said was did you go to the first but i didnt as i didnt feel there was much point as i couldnt remember who this person was. Now a month after what happened, im pregnant! I really don't know what to do, ive asked my friends for help but they just dont understand where im coming so im hoping you can help me too. If i was you you should go to the police, you never know he might do it to somone else and they get off alot worse than you. I would suggest you tell your close friend or something, but i regret telling my two best friends because when there together thats all they talk about. Was going to get rid of my baby on tuesday but couldnt bring myself to go, my friends then kept ringing me and trying to see me yesterday just to find out what i done but i wouldnt tell them. i told one of them today and she was like well you need to decide whether your going to kill your baby or not, and she said that she wasnt going to help me anymore, as if she actually helped. Heres me going on about myself, i would suggest you go to the police to [prevent him from doing it again, you should take a test to see if your pregnant and maybe talk to your doctor about what happened. Hope your okay and to hear from you soobn. x

Emj85 agony auntAww babes, Im really sorry to hear that. I was raped by my stepdad when I was young and my birth mum laughed. I know its not your situation but I can relate to how you feel. Please, please, please tell someone. Have you got a best friend? Parents, fav teacher, best friends parents, sister ANYONE please babe. I found this on the internet, even if you only tell these people, they will listen and advise you what to do. Call them

You are NOT dirty, HE is dirty and he needs to be dealt with before it happens again. When I went to court over my stepdad at the age of 6 he was behind a screen so he couldnt see me and he got 3 years but even people in prison hate rapists and peodaphiles ect so let him be punished by reporting him.

I was listening to the radio a few months back and a girl went on there because she had been raped and couldnt tell anyone. Even if you go to your doctor, someone you can trust. I told my foster mum and she immediately got it sorted and even though I still feel the hurt and pain att 22 I am glad I reported it. Please sweetheart, you dont want to think about it ruining your life at your age, dont live your life feeling dirty, I bet your beautiful with loads of friends and you need to look in the mirror and say that.

Please email me and let me know how you are doing, even if you just need an ear fronm somebody who has been through the same thing.

He is not human enough to be called a boyfriend, he is an evil little boy and you are stronger than he is. May i just I am so proud of you for coming on here, now you need to tell somebody who can help you get through it who you trust.

Hugs and kisses and please email me if you need someone

You need to tell SOMEONE!

A parent, an adult family member, or even a teacher.

This boy is wrong for what he did to you and it is NOT your fault at all.

There is also a 1 800 number you can call, you can find it in your yellow pages or try and google it. Sorry I dont know it. Please find someone to help you.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (25 February 2007):

I am really sorry to hear that someone would do this to you. I can understand where you are coming from when you say that you feel dirty. I am 21 and was raped a couple months ago and it made me disgusted with myself It makes me angry to know that someone put you through that. At first I also did not report it to anyone and I found that this made the feeling get worse and worse. Finally I talked to my parents and they reported it to the police. Please take my advise and tell someone you don't need to live feeling dirty and worthless. The fact that he did this to you has nothing to do with you, he has some problems and it needs to be dealt with. Trust me it did not happen because of anything you did. You did not deserve it. You need to know that you are an amazing woman and one day you will find someone who truly loves you, Don't let what happened to you determine who you are or set the pattern for the rest of you life. I hope you take my advise and get someone to help you.

A reader, anonymous, writes (24 February 2007):

I am so sorry this happened to you. Please report this to the police if you cannot bring yourself to tell your parents....This 15 year old is in serious trouble himself to have done this thing to you.

Don't feel dirty, it isn't about sex, it is about power and control, he got his jollies by forcing you, this is not the act of a normal person, but a sociopathic criminal and he is on the path to become a permanent resident of a jail cell unless he gets some help. You will be doing everyone a favor by reporting this to the police.

If you don't do this he will do this to another girl at a later date, how would you feel if you knew that and you did not do anything to stop him?

Please get some counseling as soon as you can from a therapist, ask your doctor for a referral. You have been traumatized and you need some help and support from a professional to get you through this and get you back to feeling like you again, if you avoid this step and refuse to admit to people that this happened to you, you will carry the shame for YEARS punishing yourself for something that happened to you that was really out of your control. Avoiding dealing with this will hurt you more than you could possibly know, so please head this advice if you do nothing else, get help!

What an awful excuse for a human being this guy is, I am so sorry that you were taken in by him in the first place.

A female reader, vina_101 United Kingdom +, writes (24 February 2007):

vina_101 agony auntNO it is NOT your fault. You cannot be blamed for his wrong actions. DO NOT blame yourself for this. You can still prove him guilty. Forensic testing will prove what he did to you. Do you still have the clothes that you wore on the day? Especially your underwear? Maybe they could use that for testing. The sooner you report it to the police the eviedence will be fresher.

I know you don't want to go over it again or even think about it, but if you don't face these things now you will have unresolved issues when you get older. Please tell your parents or someone you confide in. Don't be scared. It will help you if you tell someone. Your parents will shower you with love and they will be very understanding and you will be a lot easier for you if you have people who love you to help you along the way. Don't do this on your own. You are not alone. You are in need of help now and you should reach out to those who love you to give you that help. Your parents will not get angry at you. Please do not be afraid to tell them. I'm sure sooner or later they will notice a change in your behaviour and wonder what has happened. They will start asking questions. They care about you and want to see you happy. They will notice your change in character and wonder where their little girl has gone. 'Where's the daughter I used to know?' Isn't it better to tell them now than to have them force it out of you when you're trying to forget about it later?

You CAN tell someone. Please don't do this on your own.

TasteofIndia agony auntSweetness,

NO ONE will get angry at you for not being strong enough. I know you're plenty strong for having written this out and posting it on this website. If you tell your parents, they know you and they know you're strong. They'll know what to do. You aren't dirty, you're very strong, this guy deserves to go to court. Even if he's found not guilty (which he very, VERY much is and probably will be in the eyes of the court), the experience itself should give him something to think about.

Even though you'll have to talk about the details, and I know it'll hurt... it will help you feel better in the long run. Imagine what would happen if you didn't do anything and this boy went out and did this to another girl!! I think you're strong enough to help all the other girls he might hurt in the future. Do it for them and do it for yourself. Show yourself how very strong you REALLY are (and I know you are) by telling your parents or the police.

No one will be angry at you, sweetness. No one.

My biggest hugs, deepest prayers and all my strength go out to you.

xxIndia

vina_101 agony auntTell the police and tell your parents. This is a serious crime and a complete violation of you. He should be punished for what he did. I cannot believe he laughed afterwards. He really needs help.

I was nearly raped once but luckilly I managed to run away...I never reported the man to the police. And I sort of regret it knowing that he was on the loose and could've done the same to someone else. I did tell my parents and they gave me all the support I needed. I kept having horrible flashbacks and my family really helped me through it. If you tell your parents about what has happened to you they can be there for you to provide you with the emotional support you need. You cannot do this on your own. Get the police involved and press charges.

All the best. xxx

This boy is a complete animal and needs to be stopped right now. If he did this to you he will most certainly do it again to another unsuspecting individual.

Tell the police, your parents, tell someone, you don't have to be alone through this.

The fact that he laughed after is a sign of madness, i mean how can you laugh after something like that. The crime he has committed at the age of 15, just think what he will be capable of when he get's to 20, 25.

Oh dear, I am SO sorry to hear he raped you! What an awful thing to happen.

You need to tell your parents and report him to the police, to start. Talk to your teacher at school. YOU are NOT "dirty" - what happened is not your fault. But you do need to be able to talk this horrible experience out with someone, maybe your school counsellor. HE could well go to prison for raping you, especially as you are a minor. He deserves to be punished and WILL be, I hope.
