I am 27, when I was 17 I was raped at a party. I blamed myself for getting to drunk. It wasn't until about a year or so ago that I came to grips with the fact that it wasn't my fault for being drunk it was his fault for raping me. I just watched shortland street (a popular new zealand soap) and a woman on it was raped for the first time ever it really effected me and made me want to cry my eyes out because I could relate. I have never told anyone that I was raped and how awful it was. But I needed to get it off my chest. So hi, my name is Sophie and 10 years ago I was raped and 10 years later it effects me.
