Is today really happening?

[Helix666]

Today seems to be spiraling downhill so rapidly that I don't believe it's happening.

I thought I was having a bad day (I'm manic depressive), and I've been ill.
Then I read about TheGreatSatan not exactly having a good day.
And now, I've just found out that my sister's 13 year old best friend has been raped.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

I swear, if something else goes to ****, I am going to go absolutely f*cking postal...

[.Maleficus.]

Oh my God... That's terrible... absolutely terrible... I can't believe there are sick bastards out in the world like that. People who would take advantage of a little girl are disgusting and despicable and ugh... I can't even think how horrible that is right now.

Dude, I wish you, your sister, her best friend, and her family the best of luck, a speedy recovery (though that's one of those things that takes time, and time, and trust, and more time) and a better day. Let her know that there are still people watching out for her, and that she can't let this consume her life. Things like this will slowly make you go crazy if you don't have people there for you. She needs to be taken care of, and she needs a good company.

Again, best of luck to all of you. It's things like this that make me sick to my stomach.

I had typed something in here earlier, but accidentally hit the back button, lol, so I'll just summarize what I had:

You and everyone else involved have my sympathy. I hope that justice is served to the bastard that did this and maybe he learns something from the situation and possibly improves his person in general. Best of luck to all of you.

Helix, im not going to talk about it publicly but i know EXACTLY how you feel. Rape completely ****s up people, that guy deserves to be killed.
And feel free to pm me if you wanna talk.

i had a 16 yr old friend that happened to....she was 15 at the time.... and its been a downward spiral of problems since then... its gone as far as her getting kicked out of her house..

me and my friends are tryin to get her back on her feet and have a positive life.... we gave her a place to live and are having her go back to school...away from all her problems...

i hope everything gets better with all this...

Rape completely ****s up people

I probably shouldn'tve, but I laughed at this part.

Also, don't go postal. Unless, of course, you have one of those mail-jeep thingies. Then you can go postal all you want.

/attempt to lighten up the thread

omega, i know you are trying to lighten it up a bit but i would have hit you if you said that to me in person. dont take it as a threat but i just dont think its anything to be laughed at.
im guessing that you dont know anyone that has been raped but it can ruin peoples lives and ruin their relationships with people amongst a multitude of other things. This girl now has that hanging over her for the rest of her life, i really dont think its anything to be laughed at.
Im sorry if i sound preachy but you would understand if it ever happened to someone close to you.

My mother was raped. By her father, of all people.

It just so happens that I find most any play on words funny. If you knew me personally, you would know that I tend to bend the English language on a daily basis.

Now, I am going to drop this. Please don't start it up again or bother me in PM/email (not saying that you would, but I'm sure somebody here would). We can just disregard the past few posts.

...'kay?

Rape is nothing to be laughed at. I can only imagine how it is to have been raped. My one bit of advice is try to get over it, talk with somebody about it, it's not an attack on you because of who you are, but because someone cannot contain their urges, it's not your fault, it's the other asshole's, try to move on and live your life and be happy! I hate seeing people being depressed, it makes me feel like crap too, I try to help them to feel better and as a side effect, if I'm successful at it, I feel better too. It would piss me off to where my logic left me and I could not think the same as I do at this time, it takes help from someone else too to feel better.

Hopefully this helps someone to get over old pains, I have some to get over too. Try to be happy even when your life is hell, it's one thing that I find vital to not giving up or just scraping along, find the positive in your life and help force it to grow, if necessary. Dwelling on the negative aspects of the world don't help anyone, especially yourself.

I don't know who my target audience is here, but I'm saying this as a friend (I may not be considered by whomever to be their friend, but I'm trying to help), I care, but I have my own crap to deal with and I'll get back to that.

Damn it's hard to be neutral and/or the "good guy"... I'ma stop for now and maybe I'll have made someone think a bit more about things and maybe made them feel better or helped them in some way.
