Help
I want my old self back before I was sexually assaulted and I'm mad at everyone who was involved including my school for forcing me to be around my offender and being builled everyday by his friends and now I have a hard time trying to make friends now cause I'm so quiet now and I don't know how to talk to people. I'm just so depressed and mad and I feel angry and lost and feel like I'm failing in life because of what happened to me so I don't know if I'll ever get my confident and determined self back

so sorry. i've heard that the way colleges handle these things is not fair, if not a joke altogether.. Have you considered moving to a different school and have a reset of your life?
Well this started when I was 16 in my junior yearof highschool hankfully I had advocates who deal with sexual assault and domestic violence. But I was in an ARMY JROTC and I was a leader and the second highest ranking than became the commander of the program however I got some of my stuff taken by my instructors because they were mad that I filed charges against my offender who also was in the program with me and my counselor in highschool ended up adopting him. I dealt with this for 2 and a half years of abuse, and bullying by everyone including my teachers and I also have a protective order that they never followed and forced me to be around him and then he was charged but nobody cared about it including my district saying he's never been in toruble before and didn't think the charges where serious untile I went against them and now as an 18 year old I'm currently about to start college here in the same town and although I have gotten help from so many people and continue to do so it doesn't help because I have this OFfIce of Civili Rights complaint against my school and the district and it takes time for that so it's like I can't fully move on if I have to keep waiting waiting to see what's going to happen
So sorry my friend...

So sorry this happened to you, and is continuing to happen. Angers me when people minimize the situation as if it wasn't assault. I get that feeling of wanting your old self back. Your old self is still there, just hurt at the moment. You are strong and if you've made it this long you can get through it!! I hope you find a way to get out of that school and away from this person! Sending best wishes your way!
