hey guys, I know this isn't like me but I feel like I need to say this.

I haven't been updating very recently and I feel like I owe and explanation.

Two months ago I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my best friend, someone that I could trust. I was so wrong. I didn't tell anyone. Three weeks ago I tried to kill myself. If it hadn't been for some amazing friends that alerted my school counselor who called my parents, I wouldn't be here.

Even after I was under observation for a week, I still hadn't told anyone what he did to me. Finally, two weeks ago, a month and a half after it happen, I told my therapist. We cried together. We told my parents. I haven't been the same since then.

I'm not telling you guys for pity, I don't want it. I'm telling you because I want all my readers to know that if they ever feel sad or depressed or
if someone hurt them in any way, I am here for you. I will cry with you, I will listen if you just need a shoulder to cry on, I am here for you.

My therapist told me yesterday "You can either be a victim or a fighter."

He may have taken a piece of me that I will never get back, but he awoke strength in me that I didn't know that I had. I will not sit back
and let him think that he got away with it and I'm sure as hell not going to let him do it to anyone else.

If someone has hurt you, please please please speak up, you might be saving someone else from being hurt. I know it's hard, it's the

hardest thing I've ever done but you can do
it. Don't be a victim, become an activist.

 Don't be a victim, become an activist
