Unwanted sex in the form of coercion and rape can harm mental and physical health and has been linked to depression, anxiety disorders, unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), according to background information in the article.

All these people that are saying people shouldn't whine so much, and that victims should get over it and hold nothing against the world- all I have to say is, no, no, no.
Obviously you are some of the lucky ones who have never experienced psychological challenges. I have been living with a mood disorder for as long as I can remember, that has been diagnosed only for 5 years. It's not that easy just to deal with these things. Even a completely healthy, strong person can have psychological backlash from a traumatic event. Have you ever been raped? Have you ever dealt with real depression? Probably not. It's not so easy for everyone. Like you said- other people have it a lot worse. Some people have worse consequences, with the strength of heart to deal with it. And others have a decent life, and difficulties inside themselves. And EACH is EQUALLY hard. Being the victim of a rape isn't something you just "get over"- not for everyone, that is. If people don't listen to their cries for help, things will only get worse. |
