    • About Me

      I'm Annie, i'm (nearly!) 17 and go to sixth form. I've just finished my AS year, and move onto studying Health and Social Care and English for the complete A Level. I hope to be a nurse one day, preferably a mental health nurse - i want to help people as much as people have helped me.

      I love listening to a wide range of music - and in some senses music has been my sanctuary. I also volunteer for shopmobility - providing Disabled people, and people with limited mobility with rented access to motorised scooters and wheelchairs.

      Basically my boyfriend (of the time) raped me two weeks after my 16h birthday. No - he didn't go to jail, though i tried my hardest!

      Rape Counseling Not Working
      Didn't work. I had a trainee counsellor that asked me really personal questions about the rape...questions like "why were you doing sexual things with him if you didn't want to have sexual intercourse?" It felt like they were abusing me...by asking these kind of things i fell deeper and deeper into depresssion, but decided to stop the counselling.
      Talking Working / Worked
      After the counselling, i decided to work my own way through my feelings, and this has helped more than anything, more importantly, talking to my family and a few good friends.
