i was raped last december when i was 17 by a man 10 years older. it was a confusing experience that i didn’t know was rape until a while later. after it happened i acted like a slut for several months to try and numb myself and regain control. when i realised what had happened to me i started to heal a tiny bit by going out less and spending quality time with the people around me to avoid getting into unsafe situations. now my friends say im not fun to go out with anymore and ask what happened to me even though they’re fully aware of what happened to me.
