I’m very young not even 13 yet and I’m already sexually assaulted. I was 4 or 5, and me and my parents and my brother lived in a 2bedroom apartment. My Daddy’s other children would visit. They are my cousins. Not by blood. They was visiting and we always had that one Train Tent that we would play or sleep in. Well my cousins: Let’s call them Aker And Takes. Aker was in the tent and told me to come here. I came and he pulled down his pants and draws. I saw his penis and he told me to suck it. I did. “It tastes like salt” I say. Thakes comes and makes me do the same thing. My brother wasn’t in the room and was with my dad at the time. I look back at that day and ask where was my Mom? I wasn’t blaming her for it, as I didn’t want her to feel like it was her fault. I later figured out that my mommy was getting abused by my dad to keep me protected. When I told her about this rape she got mad. I told her and thought she wouldn’t believe me but she does. Now I feel good and stronger. Don’t judge me but I plan being a bodybuilder to avoid rape.

What ever happened with u was wrong. I’m really sorry about it. U r brave girl. A salute from me to you. I’m notgonna jude u because am to a 14 yrs old girl who is also working on building body for some reason and trying to loss weight taking preparation for the future. I hate criminals dangerously. There is more story that occurred in our country which is really more dangerous i want to fight for them but i can’t because i’m too week to stand . but never give up. One day i raised my voice against some crime but next day i could stand up cuz i was bitten and i was pushed from 3rd floor to the ground. My knee was displaced. All the ligaments of my leg was torn my hand was broken they warned me even but still i never gave up. I lied to my mom that while i was playing i fell down and all these happened. But now i can walk but not that properly. I promised myself that i will again rise. I won’t give up now am week but i’ll soon be strong.
I’m the same age as you and I say YOU GO GIRL! After what you went through you still went to your mum and then your mum was brave enough to save you from your dad, and don’t worry, I’m pretty sure no-one will judge you for being a body builder, but self defence and stuff like tai kwondo usually works better as it is all core strength, so you still have the gorgeous toned ( but not super duper muscley) arms, but can flaw a person in 5 seconds flat 😀
Thanks and I feel good that you’re my age. Thanks for supporting me.☺☺☺

Dear survivor,
You are so brave and so strong. I can’t tell you how proud I am of you for sharing what happened to you. The fact that you told you mom says so much about how strong you are and I hope you never forget that. I think being a body builder is super cool. I think as long as you follow your heart and your dreams, you are unstoppable. You deserve love and happiness. Lots of love to you, Alissa
Haha Thanks for not judging me and for the words of encouragement
