as a toung girl at the age of 5 years old my grandfather molested me. nothing was done about that one. the at the age of 6 it happend again by a man that lived down the street from us. then a year later it happend again still nothing was done about it.
then a few years ago it happend to me again by my brorher in law.
and nothing was still done.
it took me 40 years to get past this all and move on with my life and i really thought that i was doing good with it all. untill 3 days ago i found out that a sex offender moved in right next door to me and my family. the man that i live with knows that it happend to me but never had to deal with what girls and boys go though to try to get past all the feelings. i know that there are people that live all over the place that do these bad thing to kids and grownups.
all the feelings that i put away for most of my life came russing back 3 days ago.
how can i make the man that i live with and love so very much understand that i need time to deal with all these feelings

Dear Tyra,
I was molested/raped at the
age of 6-10 by my uncle. This is the first time that
I have ever spoken out about my situation. It happened repeatedly. I can still feel the pain after all of those years. I've never been counseled so therefore it's even worse on me. As the days go by, I've been thinking more and more about seeing a counselor. I feel so uncomfortable around him. I had my first child in 2006. I prayed to God that it will not be a girl and that's just what I had. I'm so overprotected of her. He's not allowed to touch, kiss or hold her. My family does not understand why but I think they kind of expect the reason but they are not ready for the answer. I've finally decided, that one day realy soon, I'm going to let them know exactly what he did, where did it occur and how. I feel so disgusting at times. I cry almost everyday and I get depressed about this all the time. This situation has really changed my attitude. It's taking a toll on my relationship with my fiancee and he does not know the real reason why I dislike my uncle so much, why I cry a lot and why I really don't like sex. Please girls, if you are being raped or have been raped by someone please open out to anyone you can trust. It hurt even more to hold it in.

Dear Tyra,
I'm 24 years old,I was molested/raped from the age of 6 to 11 by my uncle.
What makes the situation hard for me, is that no one
know about it. I mentioned part of it to my aunt, which know that I dont trust him in any way. I feel so uncomfortable when I be near him. Now, I have a daughter. I prayed to God
for a son because I didn't
want him to touch her in any way. He's not allowed to touch or hold my daughter. He's now incarcerated on molestation
/aggrevated rape charges. These charges are not related to what happened to me repeatedly. I fear all the time. Sometimes it bothers me to have sex with my fiancee but he does not know the reason why. It's causing problems within our relationship. Day by day the feeling of being raped is getting worse and worse. It has been over 15 years and I'm still suffering from the fact of my body being taken at such an early age. I never opened up to my family because I'm afraid that they will not believe anything I say. I made a promise to myself that if he perhaps beat the charges thats pending against him, I'm going to tell my family about the rape and the year's that it occurred. I think I need counseling to try and overcome the feeling of being raped. I cant even explain how it makes your body feel and how uncomfortable I get around men I dont know or even a group of men. I dont even go into a store where there's groups of men. I cry about the situation almost everyday. I ask the lord to help me overcome this battle. I'm in total fear. I've never spoken out about this situation. This is the first time but I still feel violated. Keep in mind that my situation happened years ago and I'm still suffering. Thanks for listening to my story.

Reading these posts is heart breaking. There are so many variations on these stories, family members, babysitters, uncles, friends - there needs to be an entire week
of shows dedicated to this.
When the general media reports about a case like this, somehow the victim ends up being scrutinized and painted as a bad person. This needs a spotlight like the Tyra show to really put it out there. I have been to every abuse website and the hotlines, they all talk about it but nothing further happens. The law enforcement community needs to wake up. They are enablers in all of this. Why would a girl want to report this when a male officer sits and snickers when she has to describe what happened. Especially
in the date rape cases. Somewhere in the male psych
there is this belief that it is inherently a right of
theirs to be assertive.
It is not a right of passage for guys to take advantage of a girl i/e date rape and get away with it. Everytime they get
away with it we endorse that idea in a big way.
Serial rapists started somewhere. Maybe if they had been dealt with the first or second time and treated, they wouldn't keep going down that path.
Someone needs to address this and make it a part of everyones awareness. I am sure these shows would draw
the audience because it is so prevalant. Maybe a few
authorities have to sit through the shows as well and see the pain these things are causing.
I would love to see these shows come to fruition.

Dear Tyra,

The other day while i was with a friend some guys came up to us and said they were going to smoke in their backyard, yes i smoke an im trying to quit. They said that if we wanted we could come with them. So we followed them into their house when one of hem asked me to come upstairs with him. I have no idea why i did but i did. At first i thought we were just going to kiss but then he tried going further. Im not a virgin but i still didnt want it because i didnt no him. I tried to say no and get up but he wouldnt let me. I didnt know what to do. Then when he started i tried to get up an leave but he got mad an refused. Finally he left the room and another guy came in. But as soon as the next guy came in i pulled up my pants and yelled at him and ran out of the house. I was and still am terrified but i feel as if its my fault because i should have resisted more. I dont know if its rape or not... Please message me back i need advice and your the first person i thought of to come looking for it.

Hey Tyra I know this is weird but I wanted to know if dogs can get blue balls. I didn't know how else to say this but I get worried that my dog might get them because he has a dog friend who is a girl and he always humps her. They've never had actual intercourse but he cries when she leaves. So I think that it is because he didnt finish his business. Please help me Tyra!!!!!

Hi,Tyra,I just wanted to say,that my pastor and his wife has been giving me,hints,about me,getting raped,by my father.I don't remember it,so,I guess it was ,when,I was younger.I don't know,what to do,I'm still living with my family,I'm old enough to leave,but,I don't know where to start.My mom,knows,I know about it ,but,she doesn't care,and they even jokes about.I'm in myy twenties,my father always,seemed strange,to me,but,I always thought I was still a virgin.This is embarassing,but,I'm a strong,woman.I just want some,advice from you,thanks.p.s.I really like your show.

Hi Ms.Banks its Marquita again i wrote you like five times already telling you about the same story. But now that I have time I can tell yuo what happen to me all together. First I've been a fan of you for ever and I'm not writing to be on tv or to lie because what I tell you is the truth. Ok this is hard for me to say but I have to. When I was five years old I had wet the bed and I guess my brother was sick of me doin it so he got me out of bed washed me down and told me to go on the sofa. So i did. He pulled my pants down really quick but before he did anyhting he put my big sister in the closet were she was sleep. So he layed me down and stuck his thing in me as fast as he can i started to squill so he put his hand over my mouth. It felt so disgusted the pain was imbearable to even think about an he went so face not even giving me the chance to breathe. He was telling me say his name but I could barely speak and i was scared i goes when he had finishe dhe let out a relief then washed me agin then put me to sleep. That hole day i cried legs where so sore. Everytime I did something bad he would do it again and again and again. I let this happen to me for four years straight. I think that the days that I had hated the most is when he made me perform oral sex on him it made me want to through up. When iI told my teacher it just made things worst I was nine at the time he did it that day so i was in alot of pain and on top of that him and his friend use to do it but niether of them knew that they were both doing it to me making me cry at night. When my mom found out she didnt even want to believe it and when they kicked him out he came right back in. My mom took me to conciling for only three days and said that I didnt even need it anymore which really hurt because i was in pain because iknew that it was my fault because if i bad i would of never got rape so many times. me and my mom dont get along she makes alot of jokes about it i am really sensitive so i would cut my arm and till this da i still do becaus e i know that there is notheing else that i can turn to no one els because its a family serect. Im 14 now and im not over it its like it happen yesturday. what real;y sucks is that i have to talk to him like nothing happen it thats the part i hate well i do know you have other people to cfor but it woulfd mean alot if i could talk to you and you can help me but thats for listening to me Ms.Banks love always Marquita N.

You know.... reading through these stories has made me inexplicably sad. They all have something in common with me. I was a child of incest. We have all suffered through the loss of our innocence. At the hands of people who were supposed to love and protect us. I am 29 yrs old and I have lived with this my entire life. Only in the last few months have I been able to comprehend and reasonably accept what has happened to me. But, unlike most of these girls, I can't remember most of my abuse. I remember my brother raping me when I was about 11. Before that, I remember being locked in some cellar with another girl when I was 8 or 9. But for most of my childhood, there is nothing. Like it didn't even happen. I don't know what's worse. Being robbed of my childhood, or having my adulthood ruined because of something that I can't even remember. I don't even feel like I belong to the human race half the time. I am an outsider and probably will always be one. I'm writing this because I don't think that people realize the amount of suffering that long term abuse can have. I think people need to be made aware. For example, I get pretty horrific flashbacks. I'll be lying in bed, trying to sleep, and the next thing I know, some invisible hand is molesting me. The worse ones are the ones where I can hear myself screaming. Those are really hard to live with. I know what those girls have been through. And I know what they will have to deal with later on. I wish the media would bring more attention to incest and the entire spectrum of pain that it causes. It RUINS lives. Those who don't commit suicide(I tried once) are the strong ones. But alot of them are still broken and only living half lives. I think the public NEEDS to be made aware. Look for the signs. Because if someone steps in soon enough, that child can grow into who they were meant to be, instead of who they were made to be. I still wonder who I was meant to be. I still wonder what my life would be like if whatever happened to me, never did. My abusers took away my self-esteem, my ability to trust, my sense of safety, my sense of self. I want them to pay for that crime, but I know they never will. And that may be the hardest truth of all,to accept. My advice to those who have suffered major abuse, is to find a good therapist. They can help you learn how to cope. And a good one can help you learn how to be a real person. Not a shadow of who you were supposed to be. Thank you for the time.

well i write you alot about my life so one of them is me being raped when iwas 5 years old my brother raped me for peeing on myself he raped me for about 4 years and i cried everytime he made me perform oral sex on him all the time at 5 i was scared of him and tyhe pain hurt soooooo bad and outof all things my brother then his best friend did it and niether of them knew i cut my self everyday because of it cuz i still thik of it and i didnt even get and sorry i always blame myself cuz i let it hapen for so long and didnt do anything about it i feel so dirty in 14 now and i want to die all the time tya i would like for you to help me since my mo dont belive me and she thinks that im over it and im not it hurts s bad to have a loved one do it he talks to me like nothing happen and he took my virginity at 5 i feel so so dirty because of him im hurt as hell two people that i was close to did the worst thing to me my brothers friend is dead so he cant say sorry and muy brother is selfish im hurt tyra badly i hope you can help love always Marquita Nicole.

Dear Tyra,

I think that you are doing a great job spreading this information to people everywhere, male and female. One person I would love to see on your show, discussing this topic, is Mariska Hargitay. Mariska is on Law and Order: SVU, a show all about these kinds of crimes. She's an amazing actress and role model, and she is very active in helping to prevent sexual assault everywhere with her foundation, The Joyful Heart Foundation. She inspires me both as an actress and as a person, and as a fan of you both, I would love to see her voice her opinion and experiences on your show.

Love,
Laura (15)

Hi Tyra, my name is kiaria and Im 13. About a couple of months ago i was sexually abused by my stepfather and he raped me.For the longest time I felt so dirty and disgusted with myself because I hate to admit it but there was a part of me that liked it and the other side hated it,but i still cant get over that part that I liked am i a sick person to like it when a grown man touches me in private places.I go this struggle everyday because my mom refuses to believe that this happened to me everytime some lifetime movie comes on about some teenage girl being raped shes like do you see kiaria some girls really have to go that and dont lie like you do I just wish that she could understand what Im going thru.i love your show tyra it helps me with my day to day teenage trials. love you Tyra one of your biggest fans Kiaria.
