You do need counseling, hon.
Please get some help, you can put it behind you and move on with your life, but it takes help.
You need to get it out so you can work on how it's affecting you. If you let it stay locked up inside it will find a way out that you may not be prepaired for.
Good luck to you!

The comment "time heals all wounds" is not correct. It takes processing and and counseling. It would greatly help to go see a trained professional that can help you go through what happened and take the steps to heal from it. You may not be 100% the same as before because this is an event that will not be easily forgotten. However, you can grow stronger and wiser from this, (believe it or not!) and come out a better person after going through something traumatic like this.

If it was something that made you feel unsafe and violated, then it most likely was sexual abuse. You don't have to go into detail. You can go to a women's clinic and see if they have any support groups you can join or any form of free counseling. Things like this do stick out in your memories because they scar your mental peace of mind. Your sense of personal safety has been devestated. It's a very difficult thing to recover from, especially when you have no one to talk to about it. I've been there. If you'd like you can contact me. I've been in your shoes. Even if you don't want to talk about what happened exactly. I can give you advice. Take care, sweetie.

The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect defines child sexual assault as: "Contacts or interactions between a child and an adult when the child is being used for sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or another person when the perpetrator or another person is in a position of power or control over the victim."10
Sexual abuse is any time that a child is engaged in a sexual situation with an older person. It can include actual physical contact, such as fondling or rape, but it also includes making a child watch sexual acts or pornography, using a child in any aspect of the production of pornography, or making a child look at an adult's genitals.
Examples of child sexual abuse:
Digital (finger) penetration; Exhibitionism; Fondling a child's genitals; Having intercourse with a child; Having oral sex with a child; Having sex in front of a child; Having a child touch an older person's genitals; Incest; Masturbation; Oral-genital contact; Prostitution; Rape; Showing an adult's genitalia to a child; Showing X-rated books or movies to a child; Sodomy; Using a child in pornographic production of any kind.

You must see a therapist. One will help you get over that. And remember, you will never get over it unless you don't talk to a therapist. You obviously need help, I can see this in what you've wrote. Don't worry! A therapist will help you, it's their job, and nobody will help you the way they can. You must try. You suffer many, many years from now on, unless you do this.
Good luck :) and take care.
LeeLee, about that pregancy question, I've just read it and decided to modify my message to you: What's going on?! And this time we want the truth!

Sexual abuse is any form of unwanted sexual touching or penetration. Yes you need to talk to a counselor or someone you trust to help you deal with your feelings. Its a hard thing for anyone to get over it's not gonna be easy but the more you talk to someone the easier it will be to deal with.

see what happened was not your fault and dont feel panic and bad about yourself. just leave the rest to God.Try to indulge yourself in some activities and dont think about it.Yes its true its easy to say rather than been done.But look at your outside world there is too much beauty around us.Beauty in nature.Do some creative work.just for one reason dont spoil your life.
there is no need for you to discuss it with people more and more.
its a phase you will get over it.But please dont think about it as much as possible and make yourself busy.Yuo are still young
good luck.

okay LeeLee, I will be glad to give you some places to contact if you have a legitimate problem. But I just looked back at your other questions and in one of them you were a 17 y/o that was pregnant. Which is it.

I think its when someone intimidates and takes advantage of another to fulfil his or her sexual desires. Its a crime, protect yourself and people you care about by reporting to the police. Such people deserves to be jailed and caned.
Whatever you do honey please dont do anything stupid. life is precious. im sure u can find kind people who can help. Be strong and have faith. bad memories will stick im sure but dont allow it to prevent you from enjoying life.

Well, I'm sure it was tramatic, but time heals all wounds. It may take several years, but you will eventually learn to live with it. Things like that should never happen to anyone. Give it some time, then find someone you can trust to talk to. Good luck.
