Things to Try When Confronted with Acquaintance Rape
REMEMBER THAT GIVING IN IS NOT CONSENT!!!!Giving in is not something to be ashamed of. The person may threaten you, and be physically violent. He or she may terrify you so that you cannot respond effectively. Going along with the attacker may be the only smart thing to do. Giving in may be a survival strategy. Do not berate yourself that you "let" the rape happen. A rape-threatening situation is also a life-threatening situation. Your only responsibility as a victim is to yourself. You do not need to sustain injury or death to "prove" you were raped. Stay alive. Help! Where to find it.
