Yeah I don't think it was because our lunchline is very hectic. But there's no way to know for sure. What's "exposure therapy"?

I am not the best to describe it. If you ask Nicolette or Anthony they can give you an idea or do a search on this site. I can look and see what I can find and get back to you.
The basic idea though is (in a safe environment being exposed to your trigger and "get through it" the exposure is supposed to kind of weaken the effect with each exposure) Hope that helps.

Oh okay yeah I kinda understand

If you do a search under posts for" Anthony, Cherryblossom or Nicolette" for "Exposure therapy" you will get a lot of information. I just did the search.

I think it's just awful that you have to see that creep at school. If he actually served time in juvenile detention for raping you, I can't believe they released him back into the same school where you are. I would look into your rights as a rape victim. Was he actually convicted of rape, or did he go to juvie for other offenses? I don't know how old he was when it happened, but I'm guessing he couldn't be tried as an adult, and therefore, maybe the same laws don't apply. I can't imagine any adult convicted of rape would be allowed anywhere near the woman he raped. It's just wrong.

He's the same age as me. He made a deal that he would do time in juvie, there would be no trial, and he's not marked as a sexual offender...I hate seeing him at school bcuz there's always that thought in the back of my head tht he'll terrorize me in the halls again...

I am not certain where you live, but I would certainly talk to a victims rights group or something similar. It just seems so blatantly wrong!

I live in a really small town where most things are kept hush-hush...so I don't know if I can find one of those...I can handle seeing him in the halls and stuff but when he looks at me...he doesn't look, he glares.

Start therapy and get your power back. If you learn to confront him and stand up for yourself he won't be able to do squat!

I stood up to him a few times and was really proud of myself! But it didn't change how he looks at me or how he acts toward me.
