I'm scared, but I can't let anyone know; and I'm numb because it hurts so much to know this whole thing is happening. I think most of all I feel alone even though "everyone is there for me".

I appreciate your honesty here. When people on the web say we are there for you  youn know we cannot really hug you and that's what you really need right now. I wish we could do more.

What about the people in your world  where you are. I hate calling it the real world because this is just as real its just not physical and like it or not we do have to live mostly in the physical world.

The "real world" calls it an STD, and treat me like somonee who skept with every ansd now I'm etting little or no support trom some friends. Others are great.

That is so terrible.  Its amazing how self righteous  people who are just plain "lucky"can be

It's amazing and sad how people lack empathy. It seems like online people have a better time to express empathy.

What really bothers me about my friends is that I'm the one they all come to for advice, to go to Planned Parenthood, to go buy condoms, all that kind of stuff. I feel betrayed.

However, in the dorms I am getting so much support and encouragement from strangers. Go figure.
