I was raped by my mom's ex and his best friend. People were calling me "slut," "whore," "nasty," "gross," "useless," so I started self-harming.

Hi my name is Caitlyn and this is my story: I am currently in the 8th grade and I am 13. A few years ago I was raped by my mom's ex and his best friend. My mom never found out until last summer. In 7th grade I told one of my "best friends" about it and then it spread around the whole school like a wildfire. People were calling me "slut," "whore," "nasty," "gross," "useless," so I started self-harming. Nobody liked me. Nobody talked to me or anything. During last summer someone started a hate page on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram about me and it got back to my mom. She immediately called the police and they got involved so I had to go in for questioning and that's when I had to tell my mom. She was disappointed that I didn't tell her but she understood. Well, during the summer we ended up moving to a different county, hoping that it would help, but it didn't. It caught up with me. I get bullied every day and I cry myself to sleep. I cut numerous times a day (which no one knows). I just don't wanna live but I don't wanna give my bullies the satisfaction of killing myself. I have to go to court next week and face my rapists which is scary, but I have to. If they are found guilty (which they are) they will be sentenced to 25 years in prison plus more if they raped anyone else. I know this is nothing like your story which I am currently reading, but it's similar. The hate page is still up and the police are currently trying to figure out who started it and take it down and that's my story.
