Anonymous Story: It Was So Terrible

Someone I met on here was raped by a fellow student, her hostel neighbor, on the campus of a university whose name I won’t mention for the sake of her graduating. It was so terrible an occurrence that she was carried, drenched in her blood, into the school clinic. That night, her parents got involved and notified the school authorities.

While she was still hospitalized, a disciplinary committee heard the matter in her absence. The boy claimed the sex was consensual. The university acquitted him. Her parents didn’t help matters too; they began asking that she should be discharged against the doctor’s approval. While hospitalized, a male nurse molested her. Eventually, the parents had their way and got her discharged prematurely from the hospital and they also got her to stop therapy.

The university had promised that she’d not lose a semester from the time she lost from being hospitalized, but they reneged on their promise. Today, that brilliant girl that was raped that fateful April night is depressed, exhibits symptoms of PTSD, can’t get enough of sex, is about to have an extra year, and is more confused than ever.
