I was browsing a few pages back and found this post. It really hit home with me as I had a similar incident when I was 16….so I shamelessly grabbed it and re-posted it here to make sure that all would get a chance to see this.

And thanks Debra, for sharing a painful memory (I know how it feels)

I was attacked
by Debra Brunner <mailto:[email protected]>

When I was thirteen and only 98 lbs. I was a sleep in my bed alone, alone in the house since my mother worked 3 jobs and I only saw her at 6:30 in the morning as she wakes me up for school. Well this being a Sat. I was still sleeping when all of a sudden there was a noise in my house that got me up and running toward the kitchen for a kitchen knife (my mother hated guns)I was tackled toward the ground and held by 2 guys who were much bigger then I (both on the football team). I managed to regain my footing with a lot of fighting, I went in to my karate stance to whopp some behind but the was no chance in hell that I was going to win and I didn’t. I was RAPED and BEATEN by both guys. When my mother and my boyfriend arrived home later that day they called the police and the police shrugged and said I instigated the rape. If I had owned a gun I really believe that 2 guys would have backed down or would not have raped 3 other girls 2 weeks later.
