    What is it?
    A week ago today I had a party at my house got a little tipsy and ended up being raped by three guys a couple of days later I was relieved to find out I was on my period but I have noticed itching near the vaginal opening my throat has been irritated as well could this be an std? And if it is which does it seem like?

    I am sorry this has happened to you. How awful. I don't think I would handle being raped by three guys as calmly as you seem to be. Did you go to the police? Did you go to a doctor? I would be running to my doctor and have him test me for every STD possible. What is happening to you could be anything. It could also just be an allergy and/or heat rash. Please don't allow someone to diagnose you over the internet. Please, make an appointment with a doctor.

    You need to go to the dr. tell them what happened and go from there. They will help you. No one on here can give you that kind of medical advice

    Have you gone to the police?
    That is the next step. So many rape cases go unreported.
    And the scary thing is that if they did it to you, chances are they are going to do it to someone else.
    Please report it so that someone else does not go through the pain that you are going through right now.

    If this really happened then your parents finding out would be the last of your worries.
    RAPE is an incredibly serious matter and should NEVER be ignored or joked about!!

    I was just writing my response when everyone else has been answering. We are all thinking the same thing. Melissa, do you think your parents will get upset because you were drinking? Usually, that takes a back seat when they find out their daughter has been raped by three men.

    I want to tell you about A young girl that is the daughter of a friend of mine. She had the same thing happen to her when she was 16. Except that this guy was older and she had been warned by her parents to stay from him. She came up with a I'm at my girlfriends house kind of story. But she was really with him. Anyhow he got her tipsy and raped her and called it love, she was just being overly sensitive. She did not tell anyone for many years. However she did began to drink heavily later down the road she began to do drugs she did manage to finish high school and started college after her first semester. Her life caught up to her and she crashed. Dropped out of school still nobody knew what was wrong with her and she finally confessed to her mom. Her mom's least concern was over the drinking or the lying of course they were disappointed. But as her mom said that was a teenage response , sometimes teenagers drink and go place's they should not go but that doesn't mean they should be raped for lack of judgement. This child became unable to cope with anything she had buried this blame and guilt deep inside her mind. Disobeying, drinking, being raped, and trying to hide her feelings. I would see her and I wondered how her parents could stand seeing her in that kind of mental anguish. Damn gina you will have to deal with all of your feelings sooner or later, please do not compound the problems by keeping it inside for years. Which ever parent you are most comfortable with, please tell them or another relative, you can not deal with this alone.

    Have to spread it bushg, but wanted you to know that you have made a good point. I was a bit concerned about that happening to damngina/melissa too.

    If it is because you had a party at your house and you did it without your parents permission, yeah, they will be upset about that, but I can guarantee they won't be anywhere near as upset about that as about you being raped.

    I can completely understand what you are going through. About two years ago I went to a party, didn't drink much, but got really sick and sort of passed out. (something in my drink possibly). Well, two guys raped me and I was horrified the next day. I had a police friend that I talked to and you can make a report and your parents will never find out and the guys won't know who made the report. However, you might have to testify in court if it comes down to that. I never filed a report and I very much regreted this decision. Still today if I see a guy that resembles these other two guys I freak out and have to replay the whole event again. One of the guys came in to where I worked one night just to be funny and I had to go home. I never conquered my fears so I am encouraging you to. Don't let it happen to someone else. As for STD's... where I live there is a clinic for raped and abused women. I am sure you have one in your area also. The clinic is free. They will talk to you, give you tests, check you for injuries, and give you meds for any STD's that might come up later. Plus it is a great opportunity to get your story written down. Even if you decide to not report to police (which you should), go to the clinic. Like I said, it is FREE and completely confidential. Then you won't have to worry about STD's and pregnancy. Good Luck! I know this is a hard time. I remember all I went through. There will be good days and bad days. Be strong, don't give your power away to those guys they are not worth it nor good enough.

    Hi Damgina, Every thing that they have said is exactly what you need to do! You need to tell your parents first off! And report it! And then get some help see a dr. Get checked out and start the healing process! I have a very similar story to yours! At 14 I met an older guy at a party and we hit it off a few week later he invited me to the Desert with him! I lied to my parents said I was at a friends house and I went with him. I thought he was a good guy and he brought me to the middle of no where! He raped and beat me! I never told my parents! It ate at my soul! I would have the worst nightmares! I would have panic attacks! After that I was never comfortable with a guy! I was always scared! I started to drink and do drugs to excape the pain! It wasent until I met my now husband that I finally faced it and delt with the pain. I still have problems to this day! I cut myself because it makes me feel in control I panic sometimes. But it takes time to heal from something like that! Coming from someone who dident tell anyone You need to tell someone! One thing I regret most is that I dident report him to the police! He probably has done this to other girls and its my fault because I wasent able to stop him! Be strong! It's a long painful road your headed down but I promise you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

    I totally understand what you guys are saying
    But the thing is that my dad knew I was drinking and knew about the party he was there! So I don't care about that I don't want to tell them for other reasons long story but the other messed up thing that they did which has made me more angry and aggressive is that they raped me and robbed me and my dad they stole so much I was kicked out of my house because my dad thinks I was the one who brought them to the party all of my friends are guys and are willing to literally die for me they are going to talk to my dad for me at least about us not knowing them at all my friends will take care of them I'm sure

    I am telling you, your parents will be more concerned over your wellbeing than over the fact that you were drinking. You need to tell them, get yourself checked out by a dr. and press charges. If they get away with this, then they will do it again... Please for the safety of other women, tell someone.

    My heart aches for children like this who do they have to turn to for help, this happens in every social and economic level. How sad... she thinks her father was being her friend and look what he let happen to her.

    Were you really raped Melissa? To say that you "don't care about that" is very strange and not the reaction of someone who has been physically violated. I am sorry if this offends you, but I just don't get this story. It doesn't make sense to me. And when something doesn't make sense, I have to question it. You are saying that your father was there and knew that you were drinking? If your father knew you had the party and knew you were drinking and became drunk, why it would be so hard for him to believe you were raped? No father wants his daughter to be touched by a man. Not even a regular boyfriend, much less someone taking advantage and forcing themselves onto her. He would be furious at that. That would be something that I would tell my father before he even realized anything was missing. The money would be a secondary issue to him, and he certainly wouldn't kick you out of the house if you were raped. Something is not adding up here. I think you need to reread some of these other women's posts about how rape screwed up their lives. It would be very cruel to state something like that happened when these other women actually experienced it and shared their stories with you. What exactly is going on? Why would your father be more upset over money being stolen than the welfare of his daughter? Why would your father, knowing it is illegal for underage teens to drink, allow you to do so in his home? Are you saying your father is more concerned about himself than doing the right thing for his daughter? I think you need to tell us the full story of what exactly is going on with you. Maybe we can help. But, until you give us the truth, we aren't going to be of any help to you in resolving your problem. If you don't want to tell us, that is fine. If you just want to know if you have an std, you need to make an appointment with a doctor. It is the only way to know for sure.

    Yes I was really raped, when I said I don't care I meant about him being mad that I was drinking that's not even an issue my dad cares more about what was stolen and kicked me out because HE DOESN'T KNOW and I am NOT telling my mother, that's probably the main reason I'm not telling my father is because she will find out and that's a long story

    Your father put you in a wrong situation by allowing you to drink and now you are raped and possibly pregnant, or have a disease. And now he kicked u out. Stop protecing him and open up your mouth and tell your mom.. you are old enough to help yourself out a little now do it!

    Absolutely! You need to see a dr. If in fact you were raped! You can go to any free clinic. That is all I have to say to you!

    I am not going to try to force you to tell me what is going on. This is still very confusing to me. Melissa, I am worried about your health. Do a little legwork and find out if there is a free clinic or a low cost clinic in your area if you don't have a regular doctor you can call. You need an examination and to be tested for STDs.

    P.S. Sorry Mrs. J. I posted at the same time you did. We were both thinking about the free clinic at the same time.

    I hope you listen to all this advice Melissa.

    I know you are only 16, which is fairly young. I know you are probably terrified about what happened and still confused about what to do. But you need to learn to stand up for yourself. Stop playing the blame game. You won't tell your mom because of this, you won't tell you dad because of this, etc... Absolutely nothing will get accomplished unless you step up to the plate and take control of your life. Remember it is your life! Stop giving your power away to everyone else. What happened to you was not your fault, but doing nothing about it IS YOUR FAULT. I want to encourage you and challenge you to be bold, be strong tell your dad and mom. Nobody will be mad at you, they will want to protect you. Stop crying over the spilt milk, get a paper towel and wipe it up. I hope this doesn't sound harsh. I just want you to realize that nothing will change unless you make it change.
