One of my friends is going through a difficult time. She has experienced nothing but pain and misery throughout her life (she's only 20) including having an abusive dad, and being seriously sexually assaulted three seperate times in her life, and been physically assaulted several times. She now feels like she cannot cope with what she's been going through, and when I saw her this evening she had cut her arms and face with a razor. It was really horrible seeing her like that. What was worse was that the last time she was sexually assaulted, she suffered abuse from those she pressed charges against when the case came to court, and since she was depressed, she backed down and so nobody was found guilty. She sees these people often who taunt her as if it was some sort of sick game. They even told her ten year old sister that they wanted to kill her.
I went for a walk with her tonight after she had cut herself, and she told me everything that had happened to her during her life. I couldn't believe how sick and heartlessly cruel some people could be, and it angered me beyond belief. I'm an agnostic, but I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I just hope her feelings of hopelessness pass and she recovers. I also hope that those who abused her are brought to justice. After tonight, I am disgusted and saddened at at the actions of other people.
