On the morning of that sunny California day, life seemed wonderful and bright. I was one month away from turning 21, a junior in college with a great summer job at Disneyland, and I was preparing to go away the next day with friends on a four-day water-skiing trip.

Yes. Our God is an ever loving merciful Father. Your experience inspires other women who was also a victim of lustful soul. We must fixed our eyes to God for we are nothing without Him.

Im 14 and was just raped by my bf at a party. I kept trying to get him to leave, but he was drunk and he lead me out back and threw a rock at my head. The next thing I knew I was alone on a sidewalk with my vagina bleeding. I'm now pregnant, but I need help telling my mum. I will ask God.

This story is really interesting. It kinda helped me too. I was raped by an old man, it happened when I was 8 and now, that Im 14. I still dont know what to do, cause I have no feelings, and I dont have anyone to talk about it. Its horrible, I dont wish it no anyone.

Don't deceive yourself. If God loved you he would have prevented the rape. It was not your fault and you should not feel guilty. To hell with God & the rapist. I love you and you must love yourself. When I find the rapist I will destroy his soul. You just take care now.
