Well done... you stood up for yourself, and most likely for other girls as well who would have remained silent. You could have said nothing, and taken the chance that this would have happened to someone else.

It takes a tremendously strong person to do what you have done. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise or make you feel that you did something wrong.

A mistake was made, you acknowledged that and have learned a valuable lesson from it. You did the right thing... you are showing courage, strength, and maturity in how you are handling a difficult situation.

Surround yourself with your family and trusted friends. They will support you through it.

I just read through this, and I am so proud of you for doing the right thing! I;m not so good with words, but I really hope you continue with your counseling. You will soon understand that this is not your fault at all. What he did was wrong. Very wrong. Your friend may never get over this, and that unfortunately is something you may never have control over.

She feels betrayed, and hurt, and ashamed. She may lash out at you, and unfortunately this happened to you while in high school. The hardest parts are yet to come. Just hold your head up high, and remember, you did the right thing. You have potentially saved another girl from being hurt by him.

I hope you keep us posted. You will be in my thoughts.

Good luck Bella,you're a brave young lady,and you will be fine,once the dust has settled and you've been able to work through what has happened to you.

Come back whenever you need to.
