WHAT IS RAPE? (WARNING - EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)
-Rape is sex that you don’t agree to.
-When 2 people have sex, it’s really important that they both give their consent. This means that they both want to have sex, and both agree to it. And they both have the right to change their mind at any time. You can say ‘no’ even if you’ve had sex with that person before.
-Sex when someone doesn’t agree to it is rape. Rape is illegal.
-If a man or boy forces their penis into your vagina, anus (bottom) or mouth, this is classed as rape. This can happen to both girls and boys.
-Rape can happen in a relationship. If you’re in a relationship, you both need to agree to have sex. Being forced to have sex is rape, whether it is with your partner, family, friend or somebody else.
Telling your parents ....
Not telling your parents
Its acceptable that you feel that you can not tell your parents.There may be many reasons why you don't want too tell your parents for example feeling anxious about what they may say.However if you think you have been assaulted or raped then you should defiantly tell your parent /career.In some cases telling your parent/career may not be an option and therefore the right support should be in place to help you .
Telling your parents
Telling your parents is the best way too help you receive the best support and by making sure the attacker gets arrested .There are many charity's and websites that are packed with information and advice of how too tell your parents that you were abused or raped.Underneath are some links to these websites.
