Hello
I thought I'll just explain my story to you all...
For the past few years I have been sexually exploited by gang members. It involved been sexually, physically and emotionally abused by a group of older men. Living through this and still going through it now is the worse thing I've ever witnessed. I'm suffering from symptoms of PTSD so even when stuff aren't happening I feel as if it is due to flashbacks. Even with everything going on I try to hope and create dreams that keep me going.
I'm here for anybody that's gone through any form of abuse and don't mind answering any questions that anybody might have.
Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your story with the community. It sounds like a really physically and emotionally challenging situation. Given your situation we would suggest looking into Victim Support (https://www.victimsupport.org.uk/help-and-support/get-help). It has several services, including online support,that could helpful to you. Another website is Rape Crisis (http://rapecrisis.org.uk/sexualassaultreferralcentres.php). Their services tend to be more in-person, such as finding your nearest sexual assault referral center.
It's quite commendable that you remain so positive and driven with everything that you are going through, and are willing to be a resource for others in the community as well.
Please feel free to keep posting if it helps. How are you feeling today?
hugs.

Just to add to this, we'll be in touch with you privately to talk through these potential options with you.
Thanks Mica and Mike I will check this out and I'm feeling fine.
Well on the streets. Mostly on my way to school. They know where I live so they wait for me next to my house
Well the police is aware of the situation but as I don't want to give a statement or take it to court they are instead putting the gang under surveillance and are trying to catch them out that way. I have provided the police with the information they need and they are keeping me anonymous.
Like I said I wanted to be kept anonymous and I've had a meeting with all the professionals involved and they seem to think it's a good idea too
Hope you're having a better day today. Really good that you've reported to the police and completely respect that you've decided to stay anonymous! As long as you feel as comfortable as possible, that's all that matters. If you need anyone to talk to or any guidance, we are all here for you.
Have a wonderful day,
Drea
Hope things are on the up, I went through a similar thing so I know how much courage it takes to report it to the police.
Are you family/ police/ therapist etc giving you enough support?
I'm sorry to hear teachers are treating you weird. I understand that annoyed feeling of being asked are you ok repetitively. Because for me it just reminds me that maybe I'm not ok almost like it reinforces it.
I hope things get easier soon. Keep safe.
I'm glad that police and other professionals are involved to help keep you safe.
Is there anyone you can walk to and from school with as like a safety buddy?
Hope things are looking up
