You should talk to someone, a support group or a therapist. I hope this helps alot!
Well most people would definitely be stoked. If your two best friends don't believe, I suggest you should consult this to your principle. It'll warn all the students to be careful more often.
Anyway, you're not alone. Most people get kidnapped, and you're lucky that you didn't.
did it hurt
it changes u emotionally and mentally. i guess it mkaes u feel used and worthless- wen ur not, trust me. rape is a crude thing that can happen to someone. u should reoprt this to the police- tell them wat happened. put this guy behind bars. ur friends arent that great if they dont believe you.
You should have told your parents, or a teacher. That 19 year old should be put in prison--he shouldn't be given the freedom to run around hurting more girls.
I don't know the first hand affects of rape, but I bet you could find lots of information online. You could probably find a website where you could talk to other women in your situation. They'd be able to help you better than I ever could :(
Sorry I couldn't be more of a help
it can affect you mentally more than physically..so better check up with a psych artist and then life will be smooth as you go along..

rape can be very damaging emotionally and psychiologically, it can make someone feel very issolated and feel like no one understands them, it can also make you hate your bodt, it can do a lot of damage and you dont wnat that, you need to get help, get a therapist and talk it out. I am very sorry that you had to go through something like this. But just know its nevers the victims fault.
You already know the effects. And they're made worse when the people you love and trust don't believe you.
You would do well to see a counselor who specializes in treating victims of sexual assault. You can probably get a referral from your state or county medical board.
You should also consider filing a police report, even at this late date, but be well prepared for the police demanding to know why you waited. Not that they won't act on your complaint, but the prosector will certainly want to know before taking any action.
Good luck, honey.

tell a family mBeing raped can have a huge effect on your life. You may be upset, and you may feel disbelief, fear, anxiety and guilt. You may have an upset stomach or feel nervous. About half of all people who are raped say they are depressed the first year after the attack. It's important that you keep appointments with your doctor. Be sure to tell him or her about any physical, emotional or sexual problems you have during this time, even if you don't think they're related to the rapeem.
here's a site to got to.http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/...
Sweetheart, it will affect you in many ways, it is all dependant on how you deal with it. Tell a guidence counseler and they will help you contact the people that can help you. Also tell your parents.
I just answered a question very similar to your this morning with a very long detailed answer so I'm posting the link to my answer in here in hope that it will help you. Just go down to my entry and see what I said, I hope it helps you.
it will affect becuase like you will have a different vision on the people your around becuase most of the people in the world u cant trust because they have thier own way of living like pyhco tehy rape and killand that the way they will llive forever
i have no idea how it feel like and dont know much about it because i m a male
i assume its a very painful and depressing experience for you.
i m sorry for what you been through, life can be a beautiful innocent place but can also be a hell.
I know it must have haunted you for a while now. the feeling of insecureness, and loneliness where no one you can share or understand you. hang in there , try to low down on your anxiety and depression.
the only thing i can recommend now is go to counseling or seek help from someone who knew all about those things(call 911 if you have to ask for help) i hope everything turn out well for you and wish you luck and happines in life.
First let me say that I'm so sorry you were the victim of this particularly henious crime.
How a woman is affected by rape is an individual matter. Some woman recover fairly quickly while others have long term emotional affects. You really should see if there are any rape crisis or rape recovery centers in your area; they have professionals who can help you deal with any emotional factors and help you nip in the bud the chances of this criminal having any long term affects on your life.
You should not feel bad that you didn't fight back; unless you're well trained it is stupid to fight as it puts your life at risk, and that criminal wasn't worth your life. If you feel bad that you didn't press charges remember that it is not too late to do so. Rape is a felony of the first degree and considered to be a very serious crime; since you were only 14 at the time some states may tag on additional charges. If you decide you want to persue that route the professionals at a rape crisis or a rape recovery center can help you find someone who can respectfully advise you on what would be involved in pressing charges and bringing this criminal to trial.
If nothing else remember always that you are the victim, you did nothing wrong, you did nothing to deserve what happened to you and that rape is related to sex in no way whatsoever; it is a violent crime.
I've included a link in the source list to the Rape Recovery Center, a non profit organization that you may find helpful.
Best of luck to you, sweetheart, in your recovery.
You need to get help and talk to someone. A counselor or shrink.
