My roommate was going to come with me to the party, but at the last minute she make other plans, I decided to go alone, which was my first mistake.

As you work through the healing process, keep these suggestions in mind:
” It is not your fault – you are not responsible for the unwanted sex.
” You are not the guilty party.
” Some people may try to make you feel responsible for what happened because of their own feelings of vulnerability or guilt.
” That you may have been intoxicated does not give anyone the right to assault you – nothing gives anyone that right.
” Acquaintance rape happens because the rapist fails to respect the victim’s individual will, not because of irresistible arousal.
” A rapist acts without regard for the victim, so saying no or even physically resisting cannot always be enough to prevent the assault.
How to Help a Friend Who Has Been Assaulted….
” Let her make decisions. Offer to make phone calls for information, but don’t take over for her. She has just had control taken away and needs to regain it.
” Don’t touch her without first asking permission. Say, for example, “Would you like a hug?” or “Would you like to hold my hand?” A caring touch can help the victim but unwanted touching can be very uncomfortable or even threatening.
” Don’t blame her. Questions like “Why did you go home with him?” What were you thinking of? Will only reinforce her sense of guilt or shame.
” Let her know she is safe, and that you won’t violate her trust.
” Try to deal with your own reactions to the circumstances later. You may feel angry, helpless, confused, or violated yourself. Keep in mind that your friend probably feels all that and more, so seeing your reactions may not help her. Try to focus on her feelings. Later, when her immediate necessities are taken care, is the best time for you to take care of yourself and seek out a counselor. A sexual assault can be distressing for friends, land family members, as well.
Drug testing drink coaster Singles bars have never been risk free, but so-called date-rape drugs give you one more reason to be cautious. After a friend was attacked by a man who may have spiked her drink, Francisco Guerra developed a cardboard drink coaster that can identify two of the most popular date-rape drugs: gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and ketamine. Just place a drop of liquid on the coaster, and rub it in with your finger. If the spot turns blue, toss that cocktail. Fifteen million of these coasters have already been distributed; look for them at 7-Elevens

Kurz nach Spring Break, ist eine Zeit, wenn wir sehen, ein Spitzenwert in der Schwangerschaft. Für viele dieser Frauen ein Datum Vergewaltigung Droge beteiligt war.
Die US Census, deuten darauf hin, dass es kann jährlich 32.101 Vergewaltigung im Zusammenhang mit Schwangerschaften unter den amerikanischen Frauen über 18 Jahren. Mit der erwachsenen Schwangerschaft Satz im Zusammenhang mit der Vergewaltigung Schätzungen zufolge 4,7%.
Mehrere College-jährigen Frauen haben berichtet, Aufwachen in frat Häuser oder Wohnungen ohne Kleidung auf, finden sich in fremden Umgebung mit unbekannten Menschen, oder tatsächlich sexuell missbraucht worden, während unter dem Einfluss eines Datums Vergewaltigung Droge.
Erst kürzlich unsere 18 yr alten gemeinsamen Tochter ihre Pläne zu feiern ihren Abschluss mit einigen Freunden Mädchen in Cancun. Die sich mit ihrer Sicherheit und dennoch wollen sie sich selbst zu genießen. Dies veranlasste mich zu fragen, HER-Sind Sie und Ihre Freunde wissen, was Vergewaltigung Drogen sind und wie sie verwendet werden? Überraschende sie gehört hatte, nur sehr wenig über das Thema, da die meisten der Frauen, rufen Sie uns wissen nicht, entweder und wünschen jemand hatte teilten sich die folgenden Informationen.
Rohypnol wird das Medikament der Wahl für Möchtegern-Vergewaltiger. Die meisten aller Raubtiere Ziel ahnungslose Opfer durch Ausrutschen diese illegalen Drogen in ihre Getränke auf Partys, Bars oder Nachtclubs und Tänze. Vergewaltigung Drogen haben die Macht, um ein Getränk Lust sechs oder mehr.
Laura ein sophomore von Florida wurde ein solcher Anruf. Laura, an einer privaten Party außerhalb des Campus, erinnert sie tanzte, wenn sie der Ansicht war, als er verließ sie ihr Bier, dass die Täter ihre geschnürt trinken. Sie weist darauf hin, sie hatte nur ein Getränk und begann Gefühl Art krank, dann bekam mein Gedächtnis Nebel, begann ich schläfrig Gefühl, wirklich Schwindel, verwirrt darüber, wo ich war. Meine Mitbewohner wollte sich mit mir auf die Partei, aber in letzter Minute machen sie andere Pläne, beschloss ich, allein zu gehen, das war mein erster Fehler. Sie hat keine Erinnerung an, was passiert ist für die nächsten 8 Stunden.
Sie erwachte in einem Raum zurück, in der Club mit Prellungen zu ihrem Oberschenkel, halbnackt und vermutet, dass vielleicht jemand hatte Sex mit ihr, konnte aber nicht mehr daran erinnern, wurde die Person oder andere Details. . Sie war hing über mehrere Tage danach.
Laurie blockiert den gesamten Vorfall von ihrem Geist und erlaubt ein Taubheitsgefühl zu übernehmen, seine Gefühle auszudrücken. Ihre Qualitäten fiel und fand sie ihren Geist wandert in der Klasse.
Dies ist nicht ungewöhnlich, dass Frauen, die vergewaltigt wurden. Dies kann als Abwehrmechanismus gegen ihre, mit Gefühlen überwältigt und verlieren die Kontrolle und gehören zu den Reaktionen auf die Geschehnisse zu ihnen. Andere werden depressiv oder ängstlich.
In Laura’s Fall entdeckte sie 6 Wochen später war sie schwanger, sie sank von Hochschule zu haben, das Baby und wählte ihn zu haben, die von einem kinderlosen Paar wenn unsere Annahme Zentrum. “Es war die einzige Möglichkeit, ich könnte etwas Gutes aus etwas so schlecht, ich brauchte etwas zu tun positiv, und es war nicht das Kind schuld”
Laura weist darauf hin, wenn sie erst herausgefunden, wie sie wütend war und Angst: “Ich würde nicht über Sex mit einem Mann habe ich nicht gewusst. Ich habe mich schon immer so vorsichtig, was ich tue, und ich Tag. Ich war so verrückt auf mich selbst für nicht mehr vorsichtig, ich wusste nicht, ob ich unter Vertrag hatte eine Krankheit oder HIV, es war sehr beängstigend und peinlich ”
Toni war 19 Jahr alt Opfer einer Vergewaltigung Datum Droge in ihrem Freshman Year in San Diego, während der Spring Break. Griffen auf einer Party von einem Freund traf sie in einer Klasse und hatte bekannt für fast ein Jahr. Sie halten den Worten “Ich prüfte ihn zu einem meiner besten Freunde. Fungierte er, wie er mich schützen würde. Ich konnte es nicht glauben. Ich konnte nicht glauben, es tatsächlich passiert ist für mich, auch jetzt.
Mein Körper wurde verletzt, mein Vertrauen in ihn als Freund aufs Spiel gesetzt wurde, und ich fühle verraten … Ich sage immer zu mir: “Ich kenne ihn, und er ist nicht eine schreckliche Person -, so muß er etwas, was ich zu ihm sagte oder tat, habe mich in diesem Schlamassel.” Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, und ich weiter versuchen sich zu erinnern, was ich tat oder sagte – was passiert ist, dass die Nacht-mein eigenes Urteil wurde betäubt!
“Ich konnte nicht gehen Sie durch mit einer Abtreibung nach dem, was passiert ist-hart wie die Schwangerschaft war für mich, ich habe immer geglaubt, es gibt keine Fehler, und das Baby nicht dazu führen, dass diese und sollte nicht ein, dass die gelitten, ich getan hatten das Leiden, die Abtreibung war nicht die Antwort auf mein Problem “Es dauerte einige Zeit, aber ich wählte eine Familie wusste, dass ich würde gerne dieses Kind, egal was. Auch durch die Vergewaltigung etwas kam gut aus ihm heraus. Nicht, was ich hatte immer davon geträumt, als ich begann College. “Ich habe nie bereut der Geburt und ihr Leben geben” Ich habe immer noch Probleme beim Menschen zu vertrauen, aber ich arbeite daran.
Nach Angaben der US Department of Justice, “Date Rape”, ist einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Drogenkonsum erleichtert, sexueller Nötigung Verbrechen in Amerika heute. Zwei Drittel von GHB ist Einnahme von Menschen im Alter von 18-25 Jahre alt. Und Ecstasy Missbrauch zugenommen hat 500 Prozent über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren.
Studien bestätigen, dass Bekanntschaft Vergewaltigung tritt häufiger bei College-Studenten, überwiegend Studenten ersten Jahr, als bei jeder anderen Altersgruppe. Eine kürzlich durchgeführte große Studie, fand ein College in vier Frauen berichtet, dass die Opfer von Vergewaltigung oder versuchte Vergewaltigung und 84% ihrer Angreifer waren Freunde oder Bekannte. Die meisten Opfer merken nichts von dem Vorfall sei denn, dass das Gefühl, verletzt werden. In derselben Studie wird festgestellt, dass ein College in vier Männer an, die verwendet sexuelle Aggression mit Frauen, und eines von zwölf zu verpflichten sexueller Nötigung einer Art. Diese Männer werden slip das Medikament in eine Frau trinken, ohne ihr Wissen, meist in Kombination mit Bier, und warten Sie, bis das Medikament zur incapacitate die Frau vor dem Geschlechtsverkehr assaulting ihr. Die Angreifer würden gehen an Parteien zu suchen leichte Ziele und Möglichkeiten und warten Sie, bis das Opfer auch aus ihm heraus zu sagen “nein” und dann haben Sex mit ihnen. Viele Männer tun es nur, um die Vorteile der Frauen sexuell. !
Das Medikament wird oft ergänzt Punsch oder andere offene Container Getränke in Brüderlichkeit Parteien, Kollegium Funktionen sowie gesellschaftliche Zusammenkünfte, bei denen es sich Berichten zufolge die weibliche Publikum Partei, in der Hoffnung, senkte ihre Hemmungen und Erleichterung in einem Potential der sexuellen Eroberung für die Angreifer. Hohes Risiko Situationen sind Clubs, Partys, Bars, und Raves. Frauen sind mit uns in Verbindung setzen aller Herkunft und Altersstufen. Viele sind nach wie vor in einigen Schock über Schwangerschaft und sich nicht sicher sind, von der Rasse des Mannes, als sie vergewaltigt, und haben wenig gemeinsam über den “Vater” des Kindes.
Das Datum Vergewaltigung Drogen werden oft als das “Alphabet Drogen” namens “E” oder Ecstasy, “G”, kann es sich entweder um GHB oder GBL und “K” oder “Special K” ist der Ketamin. Für eine Weile Rohypnol oder “Roofies” war einer der beliebtesten Datum Vergewaltigung Drogen, aber es wurde ersetzt durch GHB als Datum Vergewaltigung Medikament der Wahl.

Ketamin Auch bekannt als “K”, “Special K” oder “Vitamin K”. Häufig gibt es in flüssiger Form, sondern findet sich auch in Pulver oder Pille Formen.
Rohypnol ist nicht legal in den USA, ist noch nicht hergestellt oder verkauft legal in den Vereinigten Staaten. Es dient als eine kurzfristige Behandlung von Schlaflosigkeit in anderen Ländern. Es wird produziert und verkauft rechtlich durch die Verschreibung in Europa und Lateinamerika, dann Schmuggelware in den Vereinigten Staaten per Mail oder Reisende geschmuggelt es in. Das Medikament ist oft verteilt auf der Straße in ihrer ursprünglichen “Blase Verpackung” der schafft einen falschen Anschein von Legitimität und macht es zu sein scheint harmlos und legal. Rohypnol-Tabletten sind weiße, punktete auf der einen Seite mit dem Wort “ROCHE” und ein umgeben eins oder zwei unter Angabe der Dosierung auf der anderen Seite. Rohypnol ist ein Low-Cost-Droge, die oft weniger als $ 5,00 pro Tablette. Sie werden in verschlossenen Packung Blase ein oder zwei mg Dosen.

Die Frau kann sehr betrunkener, mit undeutliches Sprechen oder Schwierigkeiten gesprochen, Magen-Darm-Störungen und Harnverhaltung, schlechte Koordination, wogenden, Blut-shot Augen, verminderter Blutdruck, und dann geht sie aus …. aber ohne den Geruch von Alkohol .
Vicky war 19, als sie kam schwanger – sie hatte keine körperlichen Signale von Vergewaltigung, erwachte sie in ihrem eigenen Bett und hatte deshalb keinen Grund, besorgt zu sein. Sie geht davon aus, dass sie zu viel zu trinken, obwohl sie erinnert sich nicht an die vorangegangenen Nacht Veranstaltungen, dachte sie einem Freund muss geholfen haben, bekommen sie sicher nach Hause. Sie war schockiert zu entdecken 2 Monate später, dass sie schwanger war. Ich hatte nicht stattgefunden hat Sex für mehr als ein Jahr, und kaufte drei Schwangerschaftstests, bevor Sie zu einer Klinik für eine Blutanalyse. Sie wählten zu halten und erhöhen ihr Kind mit der Hilfe ihrer Familie. In der hier Worte “, das Baby gekauft Frieden und Heilung zu meinem Leben”

Über den AutorEach month more than ten women of all ages and backgrounds contact our Adoption Center with the same experience- they have been victims of a date rape drug, and are now pregnant … most of the time not knowing who got them pregnant. Just after Spring break, is a time when we see a peak in pregnancy. For many of these women a date rape drug was involved.
The U.S. Census, suggest that there may be 32,101 annual rape-related pregnancies among American women over the age of 18. With the adult pregnancy rate associated with rape estimated to be 4.7%.
Several college aged women have reported waking up in frat houses or apartments with no clothing on, finding themselves in strange surroundings with unknown people, or having actually been sexually assaulted while under the influence of a date rape drug.
Just recently our 18 yr old daughter shared her plans to celebrate her graduation with some girl friends in Cancun. Concerned with their safety and still wanting them to enjoy themselves. This prompted me to ask her- Do you and your friends know what rape drugs are and how they are used? Surprising she had heard very little on the topic, as most of the women that call us don’t know either and wish someone had shared the following information.
Rohypnol is becoming the drug of choice for would-be rapist’s .Most all predators target unsuspecting victims by slipping these illicit drugs into their beverages at parties, bars or nightclubs and dances. Rape drugs have the power to make one drink feel like six or more.
Laura a sophomore from Florida was one such call. Laura who attended a private party off campus recalls she was dancing when she feels it was when she left her beer that the perpetrator laced her drink. She recalls she only had one drink and started feeling kind of sick, then my memory got foggy, I started feeling drowsy, really dizziness, confused about where I was. My roommate was going to come with me to the party , but at the last minute she make other plans, I decided to go alone, which was my first mistake. She has no memory of what happened for the next 8 hours.
She woke up in a back room, in the club with bruises on her thighs, half naked and suspected that someone may have had sex with her, but couldn’t remember who the person was or any other details. . She was hung over for days afterward.
Laurie blocked the whole incident from her mind and allowed a numbness to take over her feelings. Her grades fell and she found her mind wandering in class.
This is not uncommon for women that have been raped. This can be used as a defense mechanism against being overwhelmed with feelings or losing control and are common reactions to what has happened to them. Others become anxious or depressed.
In Laura’s case she discovered 6 weeks later she was pregnant, she dropped out of college to have the baby and chose to have him adopted by a childless couple though our adoption center. “It was the only way I could make something good out of something so bad, I needed to do something positive and it wasn’t the child’s fault”
Laura recalls when she first found out how angry she was and scared, “I wouldn’t have sex with a guy I didn’t know. I have always been so careful of what I do and who I date. I was just so mad at myself for not being more careful, I didn’t know if I had contracted a disease or HIV, it was very scary and embarrassing”
Toni was 19 yr old victim of a date rape drug in her freshman year in San Diego, during spring break. Assaulted at a party by a friend she met in a class and had known for almost a year. She kept saying “I considered him one of my best friends. He acted like he would protect me. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it actually happened to me, even now.
My body has been violated, my trust in him as a friend has been shaken and I feel betrayed… I keep saying to myself, “I know him, and he’s not a terrible person – so it must have been something I said to him or did that got me into this mess.” I don’t remember and I keep trying to remember what I did, or said – what happened that night- my own judgment has been stunned!
“I just couldn’t go through with an abortion after what happened- as hard as the pregnancy was for me, I have always believed there are no mistakes and this baby didn’t cause this and should not be the one that suffered, I had done the suffering, abortion wasn’t the answer to my problem” It took some time, but I chose a family that I knew would love this child no matter what. Even through the rape something came good out of it. Not what I had ever dreamt of when I started college. “I have never regretted giving birth and giving her life” I still have trouble trusting people, but am working on it.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “Date Rape”, is one of the fastest growing drug-facilitated, sexual assault crimes in America today. Two thirds of GHB is ingested by people aged 18-25 years old. And Ecstasy abuse has increased 500 percent over a five-year period.
Studies confirm that acquaintance rape occurs more commonly among college students, predominantly first year students, than among any other age group. A recent large study, found one in four college women reported being the victim of rape or attempted rape and 84% of their assailants were boyfriends or acquaintances. Most victims remember nothing of the incident except that the feeling of being violated. The same study found that one in four college men disclosed to having used sexual aggression with women, and one in twelve to committing sexual assault of some kind. These men will slip the drug into a woman’s drink without their knowledge, most often in combination with beer, and wait for the drug to incapacitate the woman before sexual assaulting her. The assailants would go to parties to look for easy targets and opportunities and wait until the victim is too out of it to say “no” and then will have sex with them. Many men do it just to take advantage of women sexually. !
The drug is often added to punch or other open container drinks at fraternity parties, college functions and social gatherings, where it is reportedly given to female party goers in hopes of lowered their inhibitions and facilitating in a potential sexual conquest for the assailant. High risk situations are clubs, parties, bars, and raves. Women contacting us are of all backgrounds and ages. Many are still in some shock over being pregnant and are not sure of the race of the man than raped them, and have little to share about the “father” of their child.
The date rape drugs are often referred to as the “alphabet drugs” called “E” or Ecstasy, “G” which can be either GHB or GBL and “K” or “Special K” which is Ketamine. For a while Rohypnol or “Roofies” was one of the most popular date rape drugs, but it has been replaced by GHB as the date rape drug of choice. The most popular date-rape drugs are (GHB) gamma hydroxybutyrate and ketamine.

Vicky was 19 when she came up pregnant – she had no physical signals of rape, she woke up in her own bed and therefore had no reason to be concerned. She assumes that she had too much to drink although she doesn’t remember the previous night’s events; she thought a friend must have helped get her safely home. She was shocked to discover 2 months later that she was pregnant. I hadn’t had sex for over a year, and bought three pregnancy tests before going to a clinic for a blood test. She chose to keep and raise her child with the help of her family. In here words “having the baby bought peace and healing to my life”

All women are potential victims of sexual assault: regardless of there age, race, sexual preference, occupation or education. A woman can be assaulted by a stranger, by a friend, by an acquaintance, co-worker or relative.
Q. How will I feel after an assault?
There is no “correct” way to feel after an assault. Be aware that different people need to heal in their own ways. Some women may need to talk about the assault a number of times to heal; in working through a difficult experience- reliving the violation. Seeking a professional familiar with date rape can make a big difference in recovery.
Some women find their faith in God may be strained but find strength in keeping their faith and attending church or synagogue helpful. Other women find the answer may be involvement in activities to help forget. Then when they are better able to handle the facts and face them can they find peace to work through the pain.
Finding a qualified rape counselor or participating in a closed group counseling with other women, who understand what you are going through can be healing in itself. Many women who have been victims of the date rape drug have some or all of the following reactions:
” Anger and frustration
” Disbelief and Denial
” Guilt/ Self Blame
” Helplessness/ Confused
” Avoidance of Friends
” Feeling Paranoid
” Difficulty in Concentrating
” Change in Sleep Patterns
” Sexual Disinterest Or Change in Sexual Behavior
” Can’t Stop Crying Or Can’t Cry
” Inability To Cope With Ordinary Situations
” Problems With Trust
” Depression
” Frenzied involved in their Work
” Low Self-Esteem
” Reoccurring Nightmares
” Changed Alcohol Or Drug use
” Wanting To Forget, Escape OR never get out Of Bed
” Eating Everything Or Nothing At All
As you work through the healing process, keep these suggestions in mind:
” It is not your fault – you are not responsible for the unwanted sex.
” You are not the guilty party.
” Some people may try to make you feel responsible for what happened because of their own feelings of vulnerability or guilt.
” That you may have been intoxicated does not give anyone the right to assault you – nothing gives anyone that right.
” Acquaintance rape happens because the rapist fails to respect the victim’s individual will, not because of irresistible arousal.
” A rapist acts without regard for the victim, so saying no or even physically resisting cannot always be enough to prevent the assault.
How to Help a Friend Who Has Been Assaulted….
” Let her make decisions. Offer to make phone calls for information, but don’t take over for her. She has just had control taken away and needs to regain it.
” Don’t touch her without first asking permission. Say, for example, “Would you like a hug?” or “Would you like to hold my hand?” A caring touch can help the victim but unwanted touching can be very uncomfortable or even threatening.
” Don’t blame her. Questions like “Why did you go home with him?” What were you thinking of? Will only reinforce her sense of guilt or shame.
” Let her know she is safe, and that you won’t violate her trust.
” Try to deal with your own reactions to the circumstances later. You may feel angry, helpless, confused, or violated yourself. Keep in mind that your friend probably feels all that and more, so seeing your reactions may not help her. Try to focus on her feelings. Later, when her immediate necessities are taken care, is the best time for you to take care of yourself and seek out a counselor. A sexual assault can be distressing for friends, land family members, as well.
Drug testing drink coaster Singles bars have never been risk free, but so-called date-rape drugs give you one more reason to be cautious. After a friend was attacked by a man who may have spiked her drink, Francisco Guerra developed a cardboard drink coaster that can identify two of the most popular date-rape drugs: gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and ketamine. Just place a drop of liquid on the coaster, and rub it in with your finger. If the spot turns blue, toss that cocktail. Fifteen million of these coasters have already been distributed; look for them at 7-Elevens.
