We'll be having lots more chats on all sorts of topics in the future. Just keep an eye on the homepage for announcements. Check out the upcoming chat schedule, and send us suggestions for chat topics. Please be sure to read the SmartGirl Chat rules and regulations. Yeah, I use the good old telephone.
Some people have organizers that can message each other.
What's even more scary is that some of you felt it was your fault, and many of you never told anyone except SmartGirl about the violence done against you. Rape is a serious crime and the boys and men who do it need to be caught and punished or they will continue to hurt other girls. It's also a really scary thing to live through a rape, and girls who have been raped need to talk to counselors or therapists if they want to stay confident about sex and their bodies for the future. Please, if you were raped, even if you were somewhere you weren't supposed to be when it happened, it's never your fault. Ask your parents for help and do what you can to punish the attacker so it doesn't happen again.
