“I don't think girls should be ashamed or feel bad about masturbating. I am not ashamed of saying I masturbate, and I don't think anyone else should be either.”

What is date rape?
“Date rape” is when you’re raped by a friend, someone you’re dating or a romantic partner. It’s also called “acquaintance rape.” So, if you tell your friend or partner you don’t want to have sex and they force you, that’s date rape, even if you’ve had sex with that person before.
Date rape often happens at parties, raves, and other places where teens get together. Sometimes, rapists slip “date rate” drugs into people’s drinks. These drugs can knock you out or make you unable to move or resist, making it easier for someone to rape you. It’s illegal to give these drugs to someone.

I am so sorry to hear that you went through this. It is
never OK for anyone to force you into a sexual situation,
and what happened is not your fault. I hope that you have
looked through some of the information we have on our site,
including this FAQ: http://www.sexetc.org/faq/abuse/2733. I
also hope that you have told a parent, or a teacher or
counselor at school that you trust who can help you. Also,
if you need to talk to someone, check out this site:

One of my friends was knoked out with that drug and she was
raped. She now has a little girl because of the party she
went to that party. If you want to keep from date rape then
dont go to crazy parties!
