I was 9 or 10. He was my dentist.

I “loved” him and brought him pictures of “Mr. Tooth.”

Enchanted by my innocent smile, he reached out to take it, and he broke it.

I am a survivor, but unfortunately I still feel like a victim.

I was 7.

I needed my parents to understand that I was old enough to know truth. I sat them down and declared there was no Santa Clause. I promised I’d keep their secret safe; I would not tell my younger siblings.

Then I told them about the secrets my uncle was making me keep.

I never saw him again.

They never spoke of it again.

I guess we were just good at keeping secrets

This could save someone. Just by you reblogging it.

Not at all. The meetings are just for those interested in helping out with fundraising, promoting, and all of the other pre-event organizing. You can absolutely still just come to the event on April 28th without having to attend any of these.

We would completely encourage you to come if you are interested in helping out, we sure could use the support, but its not required.

If you are interested in receiving some fliers in the mail to help spread the message where you’re at we would love to send you some. Just email us your address via private message or at slutwalknorfolk@hotmail.com

My fault? No.

I was 18 and a senior in high school when it happened. It was the weekend of Halloween and I was at a party with my three best friends…wasted. I knew the guy, we had gone on a date once , he seemed nice.

Two of my friends had left , the other one was fooling around with a guy and I stumbled into a room to pass out. I didn’t realize he had followed me until he pushed me onto the floor. By then it was too late and I blacked out. I woke up to a light from the hallway and a voice saying “How the hell am I going to get this slut out of here?”So I pulled myself together and drove to my friends. The next morning I tried telling my girls…they didn’t believe me. I went to the cops and they asked if I had been drinking I said yes and they dismissed it. Since I was dressed as a “slutty” schoolgirl and was drunk I wasn’t worth anyone’s time, I was asking for it.
