I'm going to tell you a personal story, one I hold close to my heart. I was only nine years old and I had my first taste of real terror. I was petrified, cut off from help or even a phone. An unknown man searched my home for me, my sister and my two cousins. We were hidden in the bathroom and armed with only a plunger. Not even the neighbors would be able to hear us scream.

I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.
