My name is Maddy Merrill, and this story is about my experience of getting raped. I wrote this story to help others who are struggling as I am. Rape is such a taboo topic, and people do not talk about it enough. If you or someone you know, please get help. The National Sexual Assault Hotline number is 1-800-656-4673 or, I am always welcome to chat. Remember... IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THIS HAPPENED TO YOU.
