This week in health we watched a movie called "Freshman Fall." Its about a girl who starts her freshman year at college and gets raped on the first party of the year. She had no idea it was coming and was afraid of everything after it happened. The girl in the movie didn't tell anyone for awhile because she thought it would make people think less of her. But what she didn't realize until later was that it wasn't her fault. In this article about rape, it talks about how most rapes victims know the person that raped them. Most people aren't expecting it at all and thats the scary part. You never know when people have a hidden agenda to hurt you. Its really important that if you do get raped to tell someone about it and not face the situation alone. After you are raped don't take a shower because the physical specimen can provide evidence if you do press charges. The most important thing is don't blame yourself. It will give the rapist more power over you and won't help your healing.

it's really scary to think that that could just happen to you at any moment. People at parties are stupid but you would hope that most would have more common sense than that... I mean have more common sense than to be the rapist... But what I found scary was that Zack from Saved by the Bell raped DJ Tanner from Full House... I freaked out when I saw 2, loved ficticious characters in a derogatory way...
