my friend was raped (cont’d)

This doesn’t happen to people I know. You watch all these movies in health class about people getting raped, but you never actually think that someone is going to confide in you.

This is so unreal. It’s like, you know it’s out there, but it’s at a distance. I always knew there were people I know that have been raped, but I never thought of this happening to a friend.

My life seems so easy, so good in comparison to hers. I feel guilty but thankful in a way, I guess, and cannot even begin to believe what petty things I complain about and shed tears about.

Thank you to all of you who responded in the last entry. I appreciate it!

Your friend will probably be uncomfortable around guys for awhile, introduce her to nice guys that can just be good friends. Also give her the numbers for rape hotlines in case she want’s to talk to a professional.

Encourage your friend to contact RAINN- rape, abuse, incest national network.Tell her to look it up in the phonebook and call. Not only do the provide compassion, but they can also help her get justice through law.
