Message to a Survivor
speak up don't be afraid people are there to support you no matter what your going through and no matter what you've been through
Message of Healing
to me healing would mean i wouldn't think about it everyday i wouldn't wish i were dead i would know that i spoke up and i survived sexual assault in school and here's my message to others speak up don't be afraid there our tons of people who will support you no matter what
in school i had a teacher reach down my bra and up my skirt to grab my behind I've had this happen with the same teacher 3 times so my parents removed me from the school and i started a new one where i have lots of mental health support but not towards being a victim of sexual assault. this is my first time telling anyone other than my parents but my message to people is speak up don't be afraid.
