Well, for those that know my poetry and read it you all know that I recentaly came out of the closet about being raped. Although, I, still personally don't really see it as rape but it has had some major effect on me mentally. Go figure. For those who've experenced any of the above stated, I feel your pain. I've gone through all of those. It might help our healing process to come out and talk about it. For those that want to, please post about it here... Much love, yo lol.
well as for me... no i havent been raped or sexualy molested or anything like that. hmm... the thing that happened with me thats closest to harrasement is probably my dad beating me up sometimes. but that isnt even harrasement so whatever. next person.
That is abuse... --------------------------- I've been sexual harrased and abused. Abused by my dad (I was 3-7 years old.. yes it went on for that long) and sexual harrassed by my best friend's dad (i was 9 years old.) This affect me all through middle school and through all of grade 9. And now I'm in the 10th grade. I just let go of it. But because of these things I was depressed and suicidal. And when I say my dad abused me I don't mean just a spanking. I mean he threw me against walls and sh*t. He was a f*cking drank and to this day me and my dad have a horrible relationship. My parents are divorced (thank God).
your friends dad raped you, may? thats just f*cked. this place is f*cked. but your dad never sexually harassed you, did he... please say no. yeah my dad still beats me up. he isnt an alcoholic. you'd say hes a normal dad when you look at him. yeah so he throws me against tables, kicks me, punches me, slaps me. sh*t like that. and its not playful. its real. do you guys get these days when you feel like its not really happening... like its just too much and its not real... like its all something else, maybe reality is lying to you. "reality's a bore" - sum 41. hold on.
sexually harassed, that does not mean rape. i'm terribly sorry to hear about any instances of any of the above 4 mishaps thta have happened to anyone here.
im sorry for using raped... i dont want to be mean... im sorreys. so whats the difference between raped and s. harassed? im sorry im really slow.
wrongful touching and innuendos can be considered sexual harassment. forcing someone to have sex with you is rape.
if the other person is making you uncomfortable through sexual innuendoes or sexual advances, then yes. sometimes when you tell them to stop, they do, because they don't notice they were making you uncomfortable. but other times, they're evil and won't stop. that's when it gets serious.
Sexual harrassment can be as simple as making lewd comments that continue after the victim kindly asks the person to stop like "Wow you have a great ass, I'd like to put my hands on that" or "hey I got something down here *points to crotch* that I think you'd enjoy." or it can get to the point where the guy/girl is getting touched or molested in ways they do not enjoy and going through it even after the person knows the victim doesn't like it. Rape is only one thing and that is sex without your partner's consent, or forcing a man or woman to have sex with you against their will. That is very serious and in a lot of cases, when the victim is raped, they never had sex before in their lifetime and thus lost their virginity to the act of rape. I respect everyone in this thread for admitting what happened to them, its not easy to admit you were sexually harassed or raped and it's very honorable of the both of you to be honest about it.
My dad hit me. But that was only once.. I'm still mad at him for doing it in the first place. I hate him.
But what my dad did was only once so.. no one mistake me for if I sounded like my life is so draumatic 'cause I said that. Just saying lol, I don't want any of you all thinkin that, that's all.
My parents have both hit me at least once, for no reason, one time my mom picked me up by my wrist (this was when I was about 6-7) and threw me in my room right into the wall. That has haunted me since. I've never been raped but I've been sexually harassed by a friend of my cousin's...it was right in front of my friends he was touching me and I started freaking out...it was so horrible. Too bad Tim (my cousin) didn't know because if he found out he would be so mad. Like I said I've never actually been raped but my friend knows of a girl who's father raped her best friend and I'm sad for her.
Have you ever told your mother how wrong you thought the throwing you into a wall was, and how negatively it affected you?
I've had that before. Things thrown at me, tossed around by family, friends, and boyfriends. I've been forced to do a few things, it's horrible. Do tell someone because it'll haunt you forever. Don't make the same mistake I did.... please tell someone....
I have been abused by my dad on and off from when I was 6. It has stopped for a while now… but I don’t know for how long that will be. I will never forgive him for it or trust him again. He’s an alcoholic so that would have something to do with it. It has been affecting me in a bad ever since it started happening…
You shouldn't allow so many people to take control of you, while you may be young that doesn't mean you don't have the power to fight these mother f*ckers off. I know you probably dont want to hurt some of the people who force you to do things (boyfriends) but the fact of the matter is, if they force you to do something..they dont really love you because they could care less about how upset it makes you. So next time you get forced down, claw his eyes out...kick him in the crotch, kick him in the gut and while he's down on the floor crying, give him one good hard kick to show him who's boss. I'm not kidding, don't allow these s.o.b's to take control of you, you are Danielle and you are your own person, nobody else's. If someone tries to throw you around and force you to believe that you got to follow everything they say, or they'll hurt you....hurt them first. If the guy is dangerous, run for help to the nearest house and call the cops. You dont deserve to be beat up the way you do, if I was your boyfriend I'd go to the houses of these a**holes and show them a thing or two.
I've never been a victim of rape, but sexual harassment is a definite problem at my school. There's always the comments, the stares, and the occasional touch, I know, but I've been forced back against the wall by two guys while they tried to get their hands up my skirt. I didn't even know them, never saw them before in my life and never did again. It was the worst thing that's ever happened to me, and I'm here for anyone else who's been put through that.
