Boys who I had known forever were Facebook chatting just to let me know how slutty they thought I was.

Although I was always more advanced than my girlfriends, I was never sexually active until I was 16. In middle school I was a "slut" for kissing a hand full of guys. In high school I lost my virginity to my high school sweetheart. After two years with him we ended things. Despite everything I knew, I went off the deep end. By 18 I had at least 8 sexual partners. Many of which told every explicit detail to anyone who would listen. I was hearing sexual details that I knew were untrue but felt like no one would believe me. Boys who I had known forever were Facebook chatting just to let me know how slutty they thought I was. Guys would text me just to be mean. My closest girlfriends were my back bone for many months and without them I would not be here today. I would lie in bed at night thinking what is the point in life? I had let myself and boys take any ounce of self respect I had. I had no value and many days thought about death. I'm now 20 and can say that for nearly 3 years just breathing was miserable. After exiting Woodland High School I found that life after high school was so much better than the alternative, suicide. - Savannah
