While the rape was an awful and painful experience, the harassment and disbelief of my story was even worse.

When I was in 8th grade I was raped. The next day at school, everyone knew. My boyfriend was mad at me for 'cheating' on him and I was called awful names. One particular group of 'popular' girls got my phone number and would prank call me everyday that summer calling me a slut and saying things like, "Who does something like that?" I was labeled the school slut. While the rape was an awful and painful experience, the harassment and disbelief of my story was even worse. - Christy
