I understand what you mean when you wrote, Who molested Lady GaGa? I never told anyone about what had happened to me when I was younger, but I was just like GaGa in that I was always trying to prove how sexy I was. I dressed really wild and was always seeking everyone’s attention. I did a lot of drugs for one year, trying hard to forget what I felt like inside,  which was pretty much awful all the time. I had sex with a bunch of guys too that year, I think just to prove that I could be in control. I know that sounds kinda weird, but as long as I picked the guy and made the advance towards him, then I didn’t have to feel that horrible feeling of a guy trying to get me to sleep with him. So GaGa’s lyrics “let me take a ride on your disco stick” sure make sense to me as someone who was molested.

If you have never been molested, it’s really hard to understand how a girl feels. I had friends tell me I was crazy, weird, or I just needed way too much attention. No one bothered to look deeper to see that I was in a lot of pain and I was so scared all the time. I acted sorta “big” but I felt so small.

If any girl has been molested, she needs to get help right away. Keeping it a secret only keeps the healing from starting to happen. It took me years to be able to talk about what happened, but I am so glad I did.

I know that being molested made me act in some ways that made guys assume I was just a slut. I wasn’t really. I was just trying to heal. Maybe a lot of girls who are sexually aggressive or sleep around a lot are just trying to heal old wounds. It doesn’t help heal you though. At least not for me. I just felt worse about myself.

Please tell your readers to get help if the have had any type of sexual abuse.

Thank you,
