"Evi, are you ready?" I take a deep breath, nodding at my mom. Now or never. I hefty my bag onto my shoulder and step into the tunnel. The tunnel that will take me to the plane. The plane that will take me to Germany. Away from my friends. My family. The only little life I've ever known. Evian Ciardi. Me. A 10 year old girl known for my blunt personality and reality checks, also known for my strength and kindness. Join my journey as I try to stay strong and hold my own. You never know how strong you are... until being strong is the only choice you have. *Every event in this story has happened to me and everything is true. The only changes are names and locations for safety. **TRIGGER WARNING: Includes thoughts of self-harm, death, maybe more. Please read at your own risk.

These are Wattpad members' experiences regarding "slut" shaming and sexual bullying. You can now submit your experience to be a chapter in this collection in the form of a VIDEO - or as a drawing, poster, collage, or any other type of visual art. Just message me a link (send it to @emilylindin). If you've already submitted a chapter and want to add a multimedia element, let me know and we can make that happen, too. I started The UnSlut Project in 2013 by sharing my own middle school diary entries, from when I was targeted as the school "slut", here on Wattpad. This collection expands the project to include the shared experiences of the Wattpad community, whether the writer has been the victim or witness of sexual bullying or "slut" shaming, or whether they just want to share their thoughts. As these essays demonstrate, these issues have affected and continue to affect many of our lives in deep, often dangerous ways. If you're currently being sexually bullied, you're not alone. It gets better. Please use these stories to expand your understanding of this widespread problem, and comment respectfully.
