Don’t Suffer in Silence
Someone who is molested at a young age is marked for life. But there is help out there. Talk to a responsible adult who will listen, a guidance councilor or your parents.

Arriving home from work today, I decided to turn on my computer. I was about to write another article when I chose instead to read one.
The article was about a young girl who tells her story. For the first time ever I felt sad for her and the pain she must be going through. On the other hand I’m glad she was able to write about it. This is her way of coping with her situation.
This girl was molested at the age of fourteen. She was hurt from her step father who threatened her not to tell anyone. He told her that if she told anyone, especially her mom, that she (her mother)would commit suicide.
This man is an unspeakable lowlife! One day he accidentally told her mom and everything came out in the open. Her mom was devastated but she contacted the police.
Anyhow, the young teen is just beginning to get over her misfortune, but not without guilt. She feels its her fault that he molested her.
All I can say is, its not her fault! By talking about it or writing about it she will realize that what happened to her is not her fault.
Since he lived in the same house as her, she trusted him. He was the one taking advantage of her. Time will heal her wounds. She must talk to a guidance councellor or her mother so they will offer her support and guidance. Its sad that this young girl was traumatized this way at such a young age. I also believe that women should be very careful who they get involved with especially if they have children at home.
I hope this girl will get the help she needs. There is help out there. I beg you, please don’t suffer in silence, speak to a responsible adult such as a teacher or a family member, please don’t be afraid. Don’t let this person win.
If this article can help but one person or child I will be able to sleep better tonight.
