Did you know?

there are campaigns against rape.

 

did you know? 

That an outlandish amount of young women  (and men) are molested at some point in their lives.

It's usually by a close friend/family member.

that some people including women say that "they shouldn't have been in that situation to begin with?

 

did you know?

Facebook advertises things that are relevant to age groups/demographics.

 

did you know?

that this has affected the amount of "anti-rape" propaganda shown to young women such ads myself.

 

Did you know?

that this is  taking away those people's identities and labeling them instead.

 

did you know? 

I don't want to see this?

 

because you couldn't know, 

 

that it's happened to me.

when I was a child,

by a family member,

and that

I don't want to keep feeling like the poster child for my demographic,

like I am just one more messed up incident away from being the ultimate statistic.

like my identity is being taken from me.

 

I am Bree,

I am a sexual abuse victim,

But that is not all that I am.

 

Just so you know.
