"If someone is hurting you, or has hurt you, I urge you to tell someone. Do not be afraid to come forward, tell your friends, tell your family. "It may be very frightening to speak up and say aloud what has happened... but do not be ashamed of what someone else has done to you."

"If you or someone you know is frightened about a relationship, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline @ 1 800 799 SAFE (7233)."
