Im 14 and I was raped one day ago and while being raped I started to bleed heavily and the boy who did it didn't wear a condom. So I would like to what I should do? And what are the risk factors of me contracting an std and of getting pregnant? What could the bleeding mean? (link)

Firstly, you need to tell your parents what happened. I know you're scared but you are not alone. Don't be afraid to tell them what happened, this was not your fault. Secondly, Do you personally know your attacker? Whether you do or not and I'm sure once you tell your parents they will take you to do this anyways but just for information I'm telling you the next step would be going to the Hospital/Doctors. It is VERY important that you go get the medical attention you need, you need to know that no one is going to judge you, yet again this is not your fault. At the hosptial they will give you a physical exam. Initially the best thing you could have done is gone straight to the hospital, not taken a shower, etc... I say this because the exam they give includes retrieveing physical evidence of your attacker from your body, and being that he didn't wear a condom they could or could have retrieved the semen and therefore have his DNA. Another thing, when you go in bring with you what you were wearing when it happened(ALL of what you wore!!!) All these things would help in the process of taking legal action against your attacker. You asked the risk factor of an STD or Pregnancy, and well there is always a risk of both of those when a condom is not involved. This is another very important reason that I urge you to go seek immediate medical attention. In some places they do have a pill women can take called, "Plan B" that if taken within a certain time frame can prevent pregnancy. Make sure you tell the doctors there was no condom, you can ask them about Plan B and see what they say. Also, I would assume they would do STD testing regardless, if that's not an routine thing they do you yourself can ask and recieve STD testing and go from there. Now as for your bleeding, bleeding heavily.. Well, If you were a virgin it could have been your "cherry" being popped, which is normal and happens. BUT.. It is also very possible that the bleeding you experienced may have been from Vaginal tearing due to the rape. Another reason to consult a doctor. I think it is very important that you recieve medical attention asap, also that you talk to somebody you trust about all of this and not keep it all inside. I hope my advice will help you. In the long run you should of course do whatever you're comfortable with I understand how scary this is, how you can feel embarassed by it all, etc.. All the above on what you should do was just my opinion on the matter what you wanna do is up to you (although regardless I believe it is very important to make a hospital visit&and talk to someone you trust preferably an adult about what has happened!). But more important than anything I want you to remember that what happened to you is NOT your fault in any way shape or form. Nobody is going to judge you in a negative light for what has happened, and I'll bet you'll have people there to help you through this. I'm so sorry this happened to you sweetie. Good luck, and know that there are people praying for you...
