Let Them Know about Rape
Rape education should be brought into middle schools and high schools. We need to teach kids how to prevent being raped and how to deal with it. 13% of victims commit suicide. Don't let a loved one become one of them.
Dear president,
Rape is a big problem
This problem is bigger than our eye can see
This problem isn’t between just you and me
But it’s between everybody
Because rape is a mistake from humanity
We made this mistake together
Me and you didn’t rape anyone
But we have done nothing to stop it
So this is my attempt to stop it
Now take your part and put rape education into schools
Doing nothing is just as wrong
Doing nothing makes America look like a fool
If your daughter was raped you would be furious
But you did nothing to stop it
So you are to blame too
Rape education can save a life
Rape means nothing to you now
But what if you found out it happened
to your daughter or wife
So this problem is bigger than you might think
1,871 women are raped every day
According to an article called “listen”
You should listen to these facts
1.3 women are raped every minute
That means any minute a loved one of yours
Could be raped
Only 16% of rapes are reported to the police
I’m not done yet, just listen to me
33% of rape victims have suicidal thoughts
Please,
Take the 13% of victims into consideration
The 13% of victims who commit suicide after being raped
This 13% will be on YOU
Because you didn’t want to help
You could’ve saved their lives with rape education
Rape education could’ve helped them not be a victim
Or just cope with it
What if your daughter killed herself because she felt
Like she wasn’t loved
These victims feel like it’s their fault and they aren’t
Loved
You love your daughter and so many others do too
She didn’t know because she didn’t learn
How to cope with being a victim
What if you were raped
Would you want to know how to cope with it
Because people do love these victims
They are worth something
They do mean the world to someone
Save them before it’s too late
If you don’t want to help all these people
Do it for your daughter
Mother
Aunt
Son
Or just yourself
But you’re not in school anymore?
Maybe someone who took rape education
Could save your life
You could’ve saved my sister from being a victim
Because she was raped
She has to live every day remembering
What happened to her
She is also one of those 84% of victims who didn’t
Report it
We are taught about gun violence
Safe sex
Drugs and alcohol
And we aren’t being taught about raped
You can’t ignore this problem
This is real
You must not care about these victims or the
Future victims
Because if you truly cared you would do
Something
So many people hate themselves because of being raped
They shouldn’t but they do
They need help and no is trying to help them
You have so much power you can change this
You have so much money
I would give everything I have because the victims
Have less than nothing when they become a victim
If you care for this country and truly love it because
These victims are part of it
They are humans just like everyone else so why
Should they be treated like this and have no help
You tell someone’s child they are alive because their mom
Was raped
RAPE
Because rape should stand out and everyone should
Be aware of the signs of a rapist and how to cope
With being a victim if it does happen
My sister asked to have food
My sister asked to have a phone
My sister asked to go to school
My sister asked to hang out with her friends
My sister did not ask to be raped and violated by anyone
We need to put
RAPE EDUCATION
Into middle schools and high schools
Help now,
Stephen
