At
least once a week I think that I should have LOCKED my door before going to
sleep. Now I do.
Only
a few close friends know; my family doesn't.
I think it would hurt them to know.
I never told anyone at [my old school] because it just wouldn't have made sense
socially--it was too small a community, and the guy was too well-liked, and I
wasn't SURE enough about everything that happened to risk his reputation along
with mine.
If you're
having a serious discussion where you first inform someone that you had sex
with her, then reassure her it wasn't rape--someone is confused.
