I'm reading the comment section and crying... So many broken souls... People, stay strong, please! Sending you all my love!!!
Love the support
its hard to stay strong but trust me I'm trying everyday and failing everyday.
@@sophiealenaa I believe in you!it'll be better ❤️
@@Milky__Way_ thank you I just wish I could feel the same, but it does mean a lot to have someone believe in me.
Что ухудашет ситуацию, так это то, что многие из них пишут, что не заявили. Преступник остался ненаказанным.
И ладно, если это дети. Но взрослые блин. И тут же жалуются, что в этом обвиняют жертв.
Да обвиняют. Этим молчанием они помогают ублюдкам.
I was told that men can’t be raped or sexually assaulted, they told me to get over it and that I would be fine. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror after he did what he did to me. I hated myself for so long. I still have issues with it, but I’m slowly starting to love myself again.
I hope you are doing OK x
How are you feeling now? 💗
Glad to hear it stay strong we are here to stand together through are dark past and help eachother build love and acceptance for ourselves
Heyy. Its not your fault. Please dont hate yourself.. :( im sorry for what happend to you
You are amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Stay strong!
"You probably did something to deserve it."
I was a 7 year old watching cartoons in my bedroom.
I was 6 trying to not get late for school..
Wtf you can't deserve an abuse??? How can people even think that?
They're sick, no one deserve an abuse.
i was 3, just being curious in a dark room....
I was watching bee movie and 9
You are not at fault because of your abuse you never did anything to deserve that. That is negative thinking and it leads to nowhere good in your life! NO ONE DESERVES ABUSE!!!!
I'm a 22 year old man. It happened twice. When I was 7, my own father. When I was 15, my first boyfriend. I will never recover from it. I hate it when people tell me I'll be fine, that I'll get over it, or accuse me of lying because I'm a guy. This stuff ruins lives. People don't just "get over" being assaulted. This song hurts and heals at the same time. Thank you, for speaking about this. People do not want to believe us victims, they don't want to listen, so thank you for making them listen.
I'm a genderfluid 20yo female. My father, at 14, and my third and last boyfriend at 19. I felt my heart break reading this, not only because of the similiarities, but also the gender inequality that is in this. I really, really hate when people gaslightes men over abuse. Like, really, what the fuck are you talking about, get a grip.
Those are people who don't deserve a single glance from you, or anybody. Those are literally the worst. But hey, until it happens to them.
I would never wish someone to experience this, but my rage is building up.
I really hope that you at least escaped all of that.
I'm not here to tell you that you will "just be fine". I'm here to wish you all the best and a healthy path towards recovery, freedom and happiness. I'm with you man.
I haven’t gotten over the four months of sexual assault I had received from a classmate in school when I was 15. No one ever told me it wasn’t my fault and when I refused to talk about what had happened, they said that I was “fine” and misunderstood it was just a joke or something like that. And when I started to show signs of PTSD and using extreme avoidance techniques to make sure no one could ever touch me without my permission ever again, they said it was my fault and I was doing it for attention.
@@kenthuang436 it is not your fault, you did nothing wrong, stay strong , it takes time to heal, I’m sorry for what you’ve been through
@@sherimourThe worst part is that the school psychologist even blamed me. I still have a paper she wrote about me where she said that all of the bullying and also my fear of certain classmates were of my own doing. I mean what kind of woman whose job is to try to help kids would say such a thing to a kid she knows was sexually assaulted because the kid who did it was punished lightly the first and only time the school knew about it and was showing very obvious signs of trauma and hyper vigilance because they were afraid of being sexually assaulted again since it kept happening for months?
I escorted my son today to talk to detectives about being sexually assaulted 7 years ago. I'm proud of him. Please pray for him as well, he's hurting and processing everything all over again now, and I can't take away that hurt.
God bless you for believing him and trying to do something. I'm almost ashamed to say that because it should be an automatic response from a parent but so many times it isn't.
You did a good thing that most parents rarely do.
❤️
I am so proud of him too!!! From the bottom of my heart, I feel so much love for him. I am so sorry he's had to suffer this. And I'm sorry you're having to also. You're in my prayers.
I am so sorry for what happened to your son. You are being an amazing patent for being there for your son and taking his assault seriously
It's sort of funny how people say they want pop stars and singers to sing "real stuff" but when GaGa releases a song like this, it's talked about but it doesn't chart that high and gets no radio play.
+Martha Redfield and songs about meaningless love and cough netflix and chill- they get all the attention. so annoying.
+Martha Redfield this won an award
because no one wants to face what's happening to our young women. we're a first world country we shouldn't be having these problems right? I was sitting in the library at my college campus and in a study room where groups have priority. these guys were in there at first they were watching porn on their laptops then it went to looking at female students online. they were describing her breasts but saying vulgar things and one was describing her vagina and what it was like. outraged I told them I was here for a education and reported it to the librarian. she actually asked me to leave and told me boys will be boys. Now I've been through worse I was also assaulted but my point is its so bad that rape culture its even apparent in the smallest form were you can even get introuble for reporting behavior that is a precursor to assault. I should be able to go to my library without hearing about how they dehumanized another human being. That unfortunately isn't what really going on. We all saw the cat call video of the woman walking down the street in New York city. People just don't want to face up to what has happened.
+Martha Redfield It doesn't get radio play because it's not a "Gaga" song. In order for it to play on the radio it has to be released from her album as a single, but this song is actually for a film called "The Hunting Ground" so there won't be radio play through her. (something like that, I don't know exactly how it works but I know when it comes to radio play there's specific criteria involved)
Andres wrong!!! Any song that is solicited to radio by a record company can get airplay. Album tracks can get unsolicited airplay..it happens all the time..it just debuted at #30 on adult contemporary radio this week..
This message is so important and I am glad there are big artists that aren't afraid to put it out front and make us listen.
♡
you're such an amazing person Chris! Im glad you appreciate the message as much as I do 💖💖
+SupDaily06 :D
+Iggy Izzys One in five women get sexually assaulted, they never said anything about 1 in 5 women getting raped or that women are the only victims. Still, most of the sexually assaulted victims are female, that's a fact. But yeah, I forgot: Feminists are making everyhing up, sexual assaults are no serious issues and men suffer a lot more in our terrible society that is trying to make white, heterosexual men not the alpha leaders of evertyhing. Horrible, right?
+Simba G I think you don't understand the basis of feminism
I was sexually assaulted 3 or 4 years ago, it’s a changing event that effects the person on a daily basis. People don’t realize the trauma of what it’s like to be in our shoes. Lady Gaga is truly amazing and inspiring to me. To the survivors out there; stay strong and don’t ever give up hope.
@@oliviagunda9914 it’s okay with me.
@@dunwoodie27Thank you, so how do I reach you? Any social media platform that you are comfortable with.
Don't listen to them it could be a dangerous trap
I was sexually assaulted the first time in front of others and no one told me my rights or that it wasn’t my fault. After that the assaults kept happening every time I turned around and when I became too afraid to be in that class and refused to move away from the wall because I knew no one could assault me if I never turned around, they blamed me for doing this for attention.
"Why didn't you tell someone"
It was my father. The same person who told me it was normal. I was twelve.
I feel bad omg
At 12 you still believed it was normal?
@@Blueboy1144 stop victim blaming. its 2021.
@@Blueboy1144 of course! you're a kid! you'll believe what your parents tell you, no matter what the rest of the world does. i believed things my parents said till i was 28. it's very hard to think differently when you've always heard one thing.
@@umchileanywaysso3780 This guy is a disgusting troll. He's been rude in other comment sections.
If every other 'artist' used their fame to inform or point something out the world would be so much brighter.
+Mehdii Laghzaoui I'm pretty sure people aren't going to stop raping others just because lady gaga made a song though.......
ZebraManYouSuck she didn't make the video so she can stop the rapers, she made it for those people who can be potential victims and aware them even more about rape that's all :)
Mehdii Laghzaoui Oh sorry then
+Mehdii Laghzaoui What point is she informing on? Is she informing on the fact that men and only men rape women and only women? Is she informing on the point that women are more likely to get raped at college than not? Is she informing on the point that women aren't responsible for their own safety? Because that's what this video is suggesting. And those are all lies. She is saying nothing new or insightful, she is playing on women's fear for attention. It is an extremely old trick, and very many people are falling for it. Imagine if she swapped the genders in this video? THAT might actually be new or insightful. Or informative.
Obvious pseudonym we are aaall aware that men rape boys small ones young old and women with all kind there r even some sickos who violate 'animals' and bestiality stuff, but when she focuses the lights on what happens in the educational system, what lays behind ever rooms door, if the women who are potential future director or managers or any successful job they could have is actually raped in the place she goes to learn and to practice what could define her lifes path forever THEN everything will fail, it is bad that people are raped, it is bad for everyone, but it is worse for someone who's building their future.
To all of the warriors out there:
I see you.

I was 4. Still just a child. He took my innocence from me. He still hasn't been found or prosecuted. I am now 21. To all the other survivors, you are STRONG! You are BRAVE! You are SEEN! I see you, and I share your pain
I feel your pain. I was 3 years old when it happened to me. My parents and sister believed me when I spoke at 7 years old. The rest of the family called me a liar. It's the last time I talked about something that was hurting me.

@@MyNameIsMissMe How am I attention seeking? Don't bother commenting if you can't say anything nice!
I only found this song because I was searching, I really DIDN'T hear this song anywhere
It has 22 million views, but I still don't think it reaches enough people. Why is her other music more popular than this? This is a song that I've listened to over and over, and it doesn't get old at all - I feel it everytime.
+NANCAY WANG this song is not an official single thats why the number of views is not really high
+NANCAY WANG Because people is so superficial. There is good music and strong social musical messages out there, but usually they don´t get to be heard by many people.
+EarthenImage That's rich! This is not a strategy for anything and falls along the lines of a GROWING concern and ACTION BY the U.S. Government to look into the issue of sexual assault on campuses. It wasn't meant to be released with anything else... it was a power ballad FOR THIS CAUSE! It's obvious to me you missed the point!
+NANCAY WANG me too i complitly agree with u
+NANCAY WANG its called lack of promotion
"Why didn't you tell anybody?"
He was my therapist, no one believed me. They said I was lying.
Mikayla Sings don’t give up. I know you’ve probs got no reason to listen to me but I’ve written a little something for you.
I really want you to know that your not just an object that can be used by other people. Your a living human being with a soul and a heart.
I had a friend who was raped many times, she committed suicide...you can’t give up, you can’t give in to the darkness in this world you have to be the light. You have to believe in yourself and believe that you can go on.
Learn to feel the strength within yourself. The hands and feet you control, your very sight and your mind, it is YOU. And you have complete control over your future, your destiny. You have power, you have strength. You have no limits to your strength.
Many troubles and hard times will beat against us, many failures, many times we will doubt ourselves...
In life we bend but we must never break
Your spirit may twist but you must never snap
And even though we may lose the battles in our lives
You will not lose the battle in your heart
God bless you, I bless you.
The time has come to become who you were always meant to be!
Not next year
Not tomorrow

@@asherpikesgoldenmoralcinem5770 thank you so much for this. It's taken me any months to realize that I can't let this control me. Thank you ❤❤

@PurpleLiza thank you. And that's awful and I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm here if you need someone to talk to ❤
same thing happened to me but i havent told anyone yet
This made made me cry. I don't understand why people constantly blame the girl for what she is wearing and that's why she got raped. Instead of having dress codes in school teachers should be having discussions with the children and explain to them that sexual abuse is not okay. Rape is not a joke, it's serious and will mentally and emotionally scar a person for life.
+LoveChezzabella clothes do not make her a target because they look like that, some clothes are easier to remove than others. its easier to rape, and don't say nuns don't get raped because they cover up. Long dresses can be ripped to tie them up and gag their mouths so they cannot scream for help.
+Stavol2Dual very true. I never thought about that.
+nosferotica char.txa.cornell.edu/lennon.htm
yup , its not about what we are wearing , muslims cover them selfs cause they dont want to get raped but we raped :((( .

“Why didn’t you report it?” Because they didn’t believe that my dad would do that to his son
Professor Rob I don’t know if this means anything but I’ve written a little something for you. :)
Listen to me. Alright? Please just listen my friend.
YOUR NOT POINTLESS.
Let that sink in alright? Take those words in right now close your eyes and remember those words.
“Your not pointless.” Because it’s true and I know right now you don’t believe me cause your afraid.
I know you are, but that’s okay. It’s ok to be afraid.
Fear is a superpower, it can make you stronger, faster. You can truly do anything you set your mind to.
But even more than that you have powers you could never even dream of you can do things amazing things.
I have got your back.
Please don’t give up. Right now life is harsh, hard, difficult in so many ways and it is hard to see a clear answer to all this mess! It feels like sinking in a swamp. My friend committed suicide, she thought that no one loved her, thought everyone hated her and that she had no purpose. Please, don’t do this.
Even tho it’s difficult to see, if you allow your mind to settle, if you focus hard on a goal, it will become clear.
I know you’ve got no reason to trust me I’m just a stranger. Maybe don’t trust me, trust my words.
We may lose the battles in our lives but you must never lose the battle of your soul.
Your spirit may bend but never break, your soul may twist but you will never snap.
I believe in you.
God bless you truly, Godspeed.
A new time is dawning.
You can become who you really are! Find out your true potential to change the world! No surrender!
You can do this, not tomorrow
Not next year
NOW
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
And soon you
Will believe in YOU
God BLESS you
You know I got bullied every week for 3 years bashed up in the streets. I tried fighting back I never gave up. I was sent to hospital with an engraved face I was so ashamed of my defeat against those bullies.
But I won’t give up. I know I can make a difference, I know that everyone who suffers like I did, and have gone through more, can do anything.
Because anything is possible. Through the years I’ve tried to make a difference, help others like I’m trying to do now :) I even made a short film on my channel, 2 whole years of my life making it and now finally it’s out. I hope I can motivate people, and maybe you, with it. (The Kings World:Battle of the Soul) it’s called. And it’s about defeating your inner doubts and coming out on top. I know you can do just that if you believe in yourself.
Anything is possible.
I BELIEVE IN YOU! IN YOU!
Run fast, laugh hard, be kind :)
You are not alone
same happened to me when i was 19, just meeting and getting to know my biological dad. Went to visit him, he drugged me, and told me no one would believe me he would tell everyone i was lying. i tried to tell my mom but she didnt even want to hear it.
Omfg what kind of monsters are we living with I'm sorry
i believe you
This song got me to realize how strong I really am. Been through sexual abuse, rape, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. I used to beat myself up all the time for what I gone through, choices I made that got me in those predicaments; I chose drug abuse, and alcoholism to cope, only to follow the same cycle again. I have contemplated suicide, have asked people if I could "borrow" their guns, for "hunting" purposes or "practice" when in reality, pulling the trigger on myself sounded like a dream to the nightmare I was living. When Gaga came out with this song, it took me a year to even want to listen to it. When I finally did, I cried, because for once, I felt understood, I felt like I could open up, I felt like I could breathe again. Recovery from abuse, drug use, alcoholism, torment never gets any easier, but I realized I became stronger, mentally stronger. My husband knows I'm not easy to deal with, he knows my outbursts, knows, when I'm in that dark place, I'm not me. He understands why I'm not affectionate, but he still lets me know he loves me. Always will.
When I say Lady Gaga saved my life, I really mean it. This song alone saved my life. If I ever had a chance to meet you, the first words to her I would say is Thank you for giving me a second chance of life. To Stephanie G. Thank you.
You just made me cry. How fucking strong you are. I'm so glad you found your husband who accepts you as you are and that you made it through this time...
I have been through similar and just want you to know I hear, see and believe you. You deserve love and I hope you're healing well.
Your story gave hope to everyone we all with you😊😊😊😊😊
Beat the trauma cycle. Uproot and bloom

That's so disgusting i'm so sorry justice will come one day
He's my cousin and it was long time ago and I never realised it was wrong until 1 year ago.I always thought only rape is sexual assult but its not.touching is sexual assult too

Today is the day I told my mom what happened to me, it happened the day before my birthday on October 3rd of last year
To the people reading this who are also s/a survivors:
What that person did to you has *nothing* to do with your smile, your friendships, the way you look, the clothes you wear, how you do your makeup, your current relationship if you have one, and most of all it is *not your fault*
I am sorry for what happened... you are so strong and brave. Sharing your story it takes a lot of courage. You did well telling your mother, I hope you are doing ok, sending you my love 💜.
a day before my birthday too, since then I have never had the courage to celebrate my birthday because it reminds me of my trauma 😭
Thank you
I am sorry 😞 you where attached stay strong 😊
I had to repeat that to myself every day after my first day of group therapy..."it's not your fault" 🫂. Thank you. Words can't express how hurt I am that this also happened to you 😔
This song deserved proper and better recognition. Sadly, people don't appreciate this masterpiece. ☹️
Tell me about it.
Hmm, well to understand this song you need to be a victim of sexual abuse. So maybe it's best that not many people can relate to it.
Chris DMF I mean 1 in 5 girls are sexually assaulted I’m 14 and I already know the reality that comes with being a girl when it’s rape culture. It probably wasn’t given enough attention so people could hear it.
I do and for over 30 years of my life I could of sang this to myself 💔
theres many reason firstly it depicts a side of our societies that most people just wanna sweep under a rug and pretend doesn't exist ... secondly if you haven't been there you can't really understand simple but mainly most topics of this nature get's thrown to the sides as most societies seem to still see it as a social taboo to of hear let alone speak of.. the sad harsh reality :|
“Why didn’t you report it?”
I. Was. Five. Years. Old.
Same, when your 5 you don’t know what’s going on
that is at least the seventh time i read that, and it grosses me out. People are seriously sick, hope you are doing well now.
I was 6 years old, nou i am 50 years old and the dond beleve me
Fr, like when ur 5 u dunno whats going on
I hate it when they say that ! Like we were kids !!! What do you expect me to do ... I was told I was making stuff up... I felt so lost
This is so sad :( what's even worse is that some people blame the victim
Okemilyv never blame but find where you may have put yourself in danger. Control what you can, accept what you can't.
I was abused as a child. Did I put myself in danger?
I said "find where you may have", and for a child rape victim I would say that you can not learn how to better protect yourself from that. My comment was meant for adults obviously. I just don't like the mentality that rape victims tend to have of " nothing I do matters, I'll be raped anyway", because everything you do matters, including who you trust, or who you trust with your kids, or your friend's kids, or your young nieces and nephews, etc. I'm not simply victim blaming here, I'm trying to be constructive and encourage a preventative mindset, rather than a fatalist one.
But you wouldn't need to watch your back with if people didn't rape. So therefore all blame is on the rapist. It's like saying a person is at fault for dying from cancer. They shouldn't have got it. Lol
I get blamed every day. I was 15 at the time it happened. I'm 18 now and i can still feel him on top of me. I felt so helpless, especially when his friends called me a "stupid whore" for trying to turn him in. I was accused for putting in a "false" rape charge by his friends. My tiny 15 year old virgin self had no idea what was going on. All i knew was I didn't want it. He's still out there today.
Wow, this brought me to tears. I was SA’d by my boyfriend last year and I’m still working through it. I can remember just feeling worthless after everytime he touched me, and I would get in the shower and scrape at my skin until I felt like every trace of him was gone. He told me I needed him and that even if I said no, if it felt good I should let him do it, and that I was just weak and scared if I didn’t. Sorry to anyone who knows how this feels, I hear you and I believe you, I stand with you, you’re never alone.
You are so brave to talk about what happened to you. I know all too well it is not easy to talk about. You have to believe you are a strong and beautiful Woman. Any one who survives SA are heroes because it is not easy to come to terms with.

It took me 2 years after to realize it wasn't all my fault. Sje was the one person I did trust and thats where it got me.. My whole community makes me feel like second level trash. Less than.

When I was a child and disclosed to my mother, I was told that it happens to everyone and the conversation was over. It has happened so many different times over so many years. It does not have to happen to everyone. It will NEVER happen to my two boys.
To be fair, my mother only was doing what her mother had done. That generational curse is BROKEN.
I'm sorry for what you went through... you are so strong. I wish you the best. Hope you are ok 💜.
Same. I waited for a while for my mom to understand and take my side. She never did. But as a mom with two girls, over my dead body!!!!!!
they never "had it coming". Nor was anyone ever "asking for it". If you have sex or engage in sexual activity with someone and they don't consent, it's sexual assault/rape. End of story.

What baffles me the most is how it's so difficult for people to even understand that in the first place.

"Why didn't you report it?" Because he was my boyfriend and I didn't think anyone would believe me.
I believe you ❤️
My ex husband used to moleste me while we were dating and I never did anything "because it's what couples do" he would practically rape me when we were married "because we're married it's not a problem" I felt completely trapped. But my current husband has helped me see I was in a toxic relationship. That's why he's my ex husband. I just hope he doesn't treat his current wife like he did me.
I do. ❤️
I understand cause my boyfriend did too but at the time I didn't understand it
Same, he tried many times and succeeded once. He would verbally abuse me, manipulate me, and gaslight me. He convinced me everything was my fault and I had to apologize with sex or a blow job. Then we broke up and my own best friend did the same to me even though he knew what I went through. He would get me drunk and have sex with me. I don't think anyone believes me anymore because it's happened so many times. I'm worried people will think I am trying to get attention but I'm not. I can't sleep. I can't even live without reliving everything.
please don’t allow the abuse to destroy your life, if you are reading this and have been a victim of rape or sexual assault and are destroying yourself please stop and think about what you are doing, you have not done anything wrong and you need to let go of those negative beliefs, you have every right to be happy and to lead a fulfilling and happy life.
I didn't let that happen; fellow survivors in my family let me down (of course, under the spell of our abusers), which forced me to accept my destruction from everyone surrounding me.
@kittyonmydesk5532 don't ever let them gas light you or make you feel unworthy of love, happiness and self-worth. You deserve love. You deserve happiness. You deserve to get back your self-worth.
@@kallandracampbell2105 That's the thing: you're groomed to let them twist you anyway they want, so they do, and it's the worst when the only people surrounding you have done exactly that, and when organizations and others out of the circle do little to even console you
@kittyonmydesk5532 I know. I have very little support myself but I found the strength not just to get back up, but to build from it and become who I am today. I am working in mental health. I believe in you, I have faith in you. Try to seek people that are not toxic towards your healing. Find the helpline #'s
I was sexually harassed online by one of my classmates last year. I tried to publish him online so that other girls took care of themselves. I was a victim of jokes and bullying, telling me I was exaggerating and that I shouldn´t post it and I should´ve talked to him. My school knows and still hasn´t done anything about it. Now, I have to go to class everyday and see his face, feel pain every time, not secure. This video and song means a lot to me now. Please spread this, sexual assault in college is more frequent than we think, it´s just that sometimes, people tend to make the victims feel bad about it. Thanks a lot Gaga, I love you.
+Ana Fernanda de Regil Uribe find the police, try something
+Ana Fernanda de Regil Uribe Online. Assault. Did he stick his dick through the computer screen. I mean are you kidding right now -.-
+Andrew L hey! play nice. bullying is still bullying no matter the type. people hurt over these things! be more sensitive
wait what? how did you get sexually assaulted online? if you dont mind me asking
Andrew L Are YOU kidding me? Having Gaga as your icon and bullying someone like this, she would be ashamed. SEXUAL ASSAULT can come in different ways. It still HURTS. You CLEARLY didn´t get this song and the message AT ALL. You don´t know, till it happens to you.
My son was 5 at the time. Thankfully, he told me. Of course I believed him, that's my baby. We're suppose to protect them no matter what!
The guy is in jail, and my son will never have to see him again
You're an awesome parent. I'm reading comments and in most cases parents reject their children. It is really sad.
Same for my sister
I wish my mom would believe me
I'm happy for you and your son :)
Omg, hope your son mental health recovery well
This is so powerful. Thank you for making this song.
Love your videos!!
+Ann Le {Anneorshine} Gaga didn't make it. A team of highly specialized writers, musicians, psychologists, producers, and marketing agents made this video. Truth.

'Till it happens to you, you don't know how it feels' That really spoke to me when everyone was saying that they understand and that I should calm down. This happened to me when I was 11. It stills shakes me and I am so happy that she is laying in bed so guilty because of what she did.
I am sorry for what you went through... you are so strong and brave. I hope you are ok 💜.
I’m reading Y’all comments and want to say I believe you. I believe all of you and I am so sorry. I prayed for you even if you don’t believe (that’s okay). I love you and I wish you all healing, happiness, support and love. 🖤
Thank you so much. I don’t know you but you seem so lovely. And this really brought a tear to my eye, even though I hardly ever cry. No one else would believe me, so thank you. I wish happiness for you too, I hope you have a great day. You deserve the world

Tnx for believing, I lied. Haha got em!
I'm a survivor and my mom is also a survivor. I would prefer to not share my story because I was only 13 when it happened. I sadly did not get justice. The nightmares and the memories still have not gone away. I'm still upset, frightened and angry that no one believed me. Instead every thought I was promiscuous and wanted it to happen. But it scares me that 19k people even disliked this video. It makes me question are they okay with this happening? It makes me lose hope in trusting people/ dating anyone. I applaud everyone in the comment section who has opened up about their story. I hear you. I believe you. I care about you.
Try to understand that this video can give a extremely visceral reaction. Possibly, the guilt of some people who've crossed the line & the guilt that fills them. Same with someone who's never experienced harassment or assault, but, possibly knew something about someone else & stayed silent. Then, there are those that were victimized & still cannot deal with it at all. This video is a painful reminder that brings their pain to the surface & they believe they just cannot deal... Period! So, they find this video abhorrent. I do appreciate it, but, I now feel sick to my stomach in this moment. It brings my demons to the surface. I'm old now, 55, it's been 40 yrs since I was continually assaulted from a young child to teen. I can imagine that if it's affected me this way, there are those that haven't had yrs to deal & find peace in their lives. Try to understand & sympathize that not everyone is ready to face this...
Society as a whole doesn't understand the impact the whole thing causes. While everyone's experiences are different, it is never okay, or justified. I'm sorry you weren't believed, sometimes that is a really harsh reality. I believe you, I hope you are somewhat on the road to recovery, whatever that maybe.
We care about you too!❤
I 100% understand you dont want to be public but if you need someone I'm here, I'm 13 and was 12 when it happened to me
I have nightmares about what happened to me and they are literally the worst. Im still here, ive faced the challenges and i will continue to face them
'are you sure you said no?'
'boys will be boys'
'why didn't you fight back'
Cherries MSP have you experienced this? If so...I am so...so sorry
Cherries MSP God bless you Godspeed
I hate it when people say stuff like that. LIKE HELLO I TRIED TO FIGHT BACK I TRIED TO SPEAK. BUT I HAD NO VOICE AND I HAD NO POWER. HE TOOK THAT. HE TOOK ALL I HAD AT THE MOMENT. I TRIED BUT WORDS WOULDN'T COME OUT. I TRIED TO FIGHT BUT IT WAS INEFFECTIVE, HE KEPT DOING IT TO ME.
JUST F""KING LISTEN TO ME AND BELIEVE ME.
As I type this, I'm in a mental health facility dedicated to helping people recover from PTSD. This song is so incredibly validating. There is no "You're ok," just "it's ok that you don't feel okay" I'm kinda sick of people telling me I'll get over it, or be stronger for it. It's really nice to have a song that just says "This sucks and that's normal"
2019 and I still believe this song deserved the oscar for best original song
Shallow win
roma trend definitely. When she performed it I lost it and couldn’t stop crying for an hour.
A little girl in my school committed a suicide because she couldn't take anymore the harassment she was victim of in her previous school.
She was 11.
Tsu Zu a friend of mine 14 years old. A girl called chloe committed suicide, she was very close to me to. I feel u
That is soulbreaking :'(

OMG that is really hurt when you think about it,hope she is in a better place now

I read several comments and many people don't understand. Let me try and explain. This video is for the song Til It Happens To You, which was written for the documentary The Hunting Ground, about sexual assault on college campuses. In the film, both women and men talk about being assaulted and how colleges are failing to address the issue. Contrary to what many comments here say, the video and the film (which apparently some haven't watched before criticizing) aren't anti-male in any way; the fact is that the vast majority of rape is committed by men, against women and other men. The video clearly depicts this. FYI, feminists aren't anti-male, they speak out against rape period, no exceptions. I identify as a feminist myself and it just so happens that I'm a male; so people don't make this about slandering feminism. This song was co-written and is performed by Lady Gaga and just in case you aren't aware, she is a survivor of sexual assault herself. Please watch The Hunting Ground and get involved.
FINALLY SOMEONE, WHO EXPLAINS THIS!! You are right!
thank you!!! Omg people need to read this.
+HausofJon It's so sad that most ppl are too biased.
True, well said
thank you
Even though I'm a boy. This happened to me when i was 5-10 years old. When my mother comes to work, my uncle looks after me. I didn't know what he was doing.. i was too innocent back when i was a kid. He said that wants to have fun with me. He made me do things to him. And he did things to me. It aches my heart when i remember what have he done to me. I only knew it was wrong when i was 8... I did everything i could, to stop him from doing that to me... He threatened me that if i told someone about this, he would kill me. I've never been this scared in my life. And remembering it will always fume myself with anger. I regret that i never told anyone about this. He should be in jail right now. I'm now 24 years old. I hope other victims are okay aswell
You still can Tell you storx
Anybody can be a victim or survivor of this type of abuse. Don’t let anybody tell you that your experience isn’t as bad or wrong because you’re not a girl like me. Boys and men deserve all the support in this as we do.
Im sorry what you went through,
You deserve justice, None of this was your fault, You were a kid,
I wish you the best in life and i wish you may heal and hope you are doing fine.
“Why didn’t you report?”
Because i was a young kid, in a society which says that males have no feelings and this doesn’t happen to males.
I feel terrible for what happened to you but yes it does happen to men
Literally people this generation say all the time it happens to men. It was past generations that had this bs ideology.
That is pretty much how I was treated. No one told me or made me feel like it wasn’t my fault. The school blamed me for it and even wrote it down in a psych evaluation that everything bad that happened to me was of my “own doing.” The school didn’t separate me from my attacker or take any actions to protect me from more assaults until I was extremely terrified to go to the class where I was constantly being assaulted. It traumatized me so much that I started to self harm just to repress the memories. I lived like this for seventeen years because no one made me feel safe and that it wasn’t my fault. They all made me feel ashamed. Honestly the only person who would have supported me would have been my sister but she was away at college when it was happening and I was embarrassed, traumatized, and ashamed for it all because that’s how the school made me feel.
Jin, no, you can't blanket people like that. I'm Gen-X and am very aware that men are raped. One of the most common places for a man to be raped is in the military. 1 in 7 men have experienced sexual assault. It's a real issue, and the stigma of being victimized needs to go away for everyone...
Sexual assault is not limited to ONE type of person. Anyone can be a survivor sadly. We need to change this is society but also teach everyone that’s it’s k to show emotions. If emotions are not processed it can be very harmful.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Because all he did was touch me and himself, and nothing can be done because it "wasn't bad enough."
That sucks really bad, did you tell the police everything? Because I'm pretty positive that if there was any penatration at all (fingers, foreign objects, body parts) then its 1st degree Sexual Assault. And if the police dont do anything you could send a letter to the state you live in
Whatsername not to be rude but they most likely won’t do anything. That’s what they are suppose to do but unfortunately there is so many sexual assault cases that they just tell you something will get solved but nothing will.
If you didn’t consent to it it’s still assault and you can press charges. Don’t listen to these people in the comments, i know from experience from people In my life, there’s doesnr need to be penetration it’s still considered assault and and it’s wrong! It’s not your fault and it’s fucked up if nothing is done for you. Stay strong !!
Always tell someone. Even if you feel in the slitest that the person will sexually assault you because if you don't say anything the situation will only get worse...You are a very mentally strong person.....stay that way.
same with me, but the most disturbing thing is that he is my uncle and i was afraid to tell someone because i didnt want to ruin his family (even tho is known the fact that he cheated on his wife, they re still together) and im afraid of how my parents will react.. i mean i think they will believe me but hes friend with my father and everytime he come at my home i tell my parents that i dont like him at all but they never knew the reason why and they think that im kinda joking.. idk how to tell them. this happened when i was little and sometimes i try to convince myself that it didnt really happened because its fucking disgusting when i think about it. im afraid that he will make people believe that i am lying and nothing really happened and that everyone will see me different or nothing will change at all.. it really sucks and i dont think that i'll be ever brave enough to say something.
“why didn’t you report it”
because it was my own grandad and i was at the age of 6 and threatened to kill me if i told anyone
me too:(
Did this happen to you or are you giving an example?
Alfie H this happened to me
My friend has a similar story, you are not alone
You are not alone I promise you that.
To all the other survivors:
We know what you went through.
We know how you feel.
We believe you.
We love you.
We are here for you.
We will be with you.
Always.
“why didn’t you report?” because I felt ashamed.
don’t feel ashamed it’s not our fault. we did nothing to deserve this pain
God I feel you i still havent said anything because he was my uncle and i though i had done something wrong to deserve it. I was 11 and he was 37 I couldn't stop shaking
Hug
I'm a boy and was raped by an older girl when I was only young. I've been embarrassed of it my whole life because I thought I did something wrong and people would be disgusted in me but now I feel comfortable telling people. It wasn't my fault and I'm in know way ashamed to tell my story to my friends. Thank you Lady Gaga for this song, you have always been there for me when I've been at my worse. I hope I can meet you in person to tell you this one day. -Alex

you're not alone.

well i listen to this song while masturbating..... this video kinda hot actually
+Shawn Rishwan looool
such a sadist!
This song will always have a special place in my heart. After 13 years (14 in July), I’m finally getting help and there is an open investigation because another victim came forward. I never truly realized how big of an impact it made on my life. I was a child, and I still remember every detail like it was yesterday. I pray for those that have gone through the same. I see you. I believe you, and I care about you💗
You are so strong and brave... sending you my love❤
My body still remembers everything even if my mind forgot. the trauma stayed with me, affecting my whole life.
I'm just waiting till July when the statute of limitations runs out for a courts martial on anything that can be wringfully turned around against me. Then it's game on!
I sadly can’t do anything to my perpetrator because of the stupid statute of limitations and no one ever telling me about my rights as a victim. I missed the cutoff by two years and may never get justice unless someone else comes forward which I doubt will ever happen considering the sexual assaults happened 23 years ago.
"Why didn't you report?"
I did... But nothing happened. He's still free.
I know how is...isn't easy, but just have faith, always I'm saying to myself "your faith have to be greater than your fear".
You are a strong person. You not gonna forget that, but you will accept that.
@@beatricegagos8591 Thank you so much. I really appreaciate this ❤

felt.
I tried reporting and the police just told me that they cant do anything and to forget about it.

This might be late. But girl we're with you. Stay strong. Stay safe. You are not alone.
I feel it, I’ve gone downhill ever since it happed
I know, it happened to me too. Lots of us are with you, everyday. ❤️
Me too...
Me too... i have learned to forgive but not to forget. The pain will always be there...
I just can't deal with all these ignorant comments. This video is about rape in college. It does not specify that these are the only ways rapes happen or anything. These are just examples. This video would be way too long if they included all the different types of rape. Also, Feminism isn't about hating men. It's about equality. I don't know why a lot of people don't understand that.
Thank you! I agree with you 100% :))!
Because modern day examples of "Feminists" like Beyonce are just a bunch of man bashing, pretentious jerks who haven't the slightest clue of what real Feminists are.
girl thank you!! these people are retarded
+kats938 who exploit it for money
+Sarah E AMEN. If you can find my other LONG comment within this mess of comments, read it. The people who are trying to dilute the topic are usually MRAS. I explain in my other comment in more detail.
This song can hold so many meanings to so many different people.
The fact remains, that no one can ever understand another individuals struggle... until it happens to them.
This song brings me to tears every time.
I'm reading all these comments and it's so sad and I'm sending my love to you all
Mackenzie Esslin thansk a lot
I love you to. Yes,there are people battling with what it and it's so bad
Mackenzie Esslin this problem is so important. We should take it that serious as if it happened to us and do something to make people reach to the good conclusion. People don't deserve bad things no matter what. Prevents can't touch anyone and make bad things happen. They can't show their immorality and do kinky things to anyone. But it's so bad that people get sexual abused or abused. So I send love to all the people that are thinking like me and trying to do something so that they can stop it. And also for people who were abused:
I'm so so sad I hope you get well soon. You are not alone,if you feel abused there are a lot of people and communities alone and your family can help u too. So don't forget to tell ur problem to ur family first of all. This is a crime so if this person does it once of twice or more if you tell your problem this person can go the jail too
Also I send my love to the people who were sexually abused
Mackenzie Esslin love u to Dued
this is so fucking important
+The Antichrist Shouldn't have been raped in prison unless they raped someone else before they were arrested, but why did they end up in jail? They were a threat to innocent people. They don't deserve rape but they reserve restricted freedom.
+The Antichrist My new reply is also, men raped outside of prison do exist, and yes it is serious as well. Please don't misunderstand. I wasn't very clear in my precious comment.
Preach it
The song is important because of the issue
+Hey It's Kyla You agree they don't deserve rape? So then it's a problem? You can't justify it just because they're in prison, not everyone in prison is there because they raped someone, there are other crimes...
The fact that 20,000 people disliked this video, proves how disgusting humanity still is.

I am so sorry for that. You never deserved that kind of treatment
You can't just "shake it off", but you can try to help yourself and replace the treatment towards your body, starting with yourself. Your body deserves love, genuine caresses, felt hugs, you don't have to feel this pain on you. You can share it. You can talk, you can be alone whenever you want, and you can, no, HAVE TO surround yourself with real people, not Monsters.
Stop blaming the victims, some weren’t even conscious.
So true
I wasn't conscious and may be that was my only fault

I’m not understanding your comment. I’m not against it, it’s just that your wording was confusing. So from 6 to 27...you said nothing to anyone about it, right? I’m guessing because you were too scared & that you’d get blamed, right? Is that what you’re saying in your comment?
I'm 16 but at the time I was 15 when I first remembered. I was in Spanish class and out of nowhere got a flashback of my bio dad's friends roommate raping me at age 6 in the bathroom. I remember him saying my birth name over and over and how my body moved and his hand covering my mouth. I broke down in tears instantly and immediately left class and spent the period crying and hoping it wasn't true.

@@WowwowLulu it's about rape and sexual assault/harassment
I would have listened intently and hugged your pain away.

Because I knew you'd get angry "for me" which would make it all about you.

I didnt know what i was doing on social media
I trusted him
He threatened me
I Gave him photos.
He tricked me.

It's so hard not to blame ourselves but it's not our fault we were young and being taken advantage of by adults
I attempted suicide after it happened to me. I lost 50 pounds and thought if I looked sick it would never happen again. While I spent 3 months inpatient I had 13 rounds of ECT (electric shock therapy) just so I could go one day without reliving such a terrifying situation. I almost completely lost everything. This is the first time in 12 years I feel free. I have been sober and eating for almost a whole year. This happened when I was 15. I am 27 now. Just getting my life back.

@@sturg1853 i don't want to. he/she have nothing to do with this. this baby is just so innocent. i will love her/him even thought without her/his father.
Even she/he comes unexpectedly and in that kind of situation. It is not enough reason for me to do that.
@@cln-ns2ci well whatever, conceiving a child from rape is automatically abortion in most eyes. I even knew a girl that had to abort twice, having the blood of a degenerate flowing through your future child's veins might come back to bite you in the ass.
When you start to believe in yourself, you think: "I'm ok, now. It's past. I won't feel numb anymore."
Suddenly, you listen to a music like that... And all the pain returns... We are ok! We didn't deserve this, and there's no point of feeling guilty, dirty, or any shit like that... But we can't avoid the pain. It always returns... So, we learn to live with this phantom. We're strong, but we're still shaken...
I has lived mostly the same. It had happened more than once, and I don't remember what age I was by that time... Let me tell you something: It hurts like hell! I know! Even more when we realize that we didn't avoided the situation as we wanted to... but remember: YOU WERE JUST A KID! The other person KNEW how to PLAY with your fears! SO, You're NOT A MONSTER. You can love yourself, you can learn how to see the beauty of living that this person has stolen from you...
It's sucks at the beginning, but my therapist has helped me a lot. It's not a shame to look for professional help (or not! you can talk to me, too), ok?
I'm really sorry about you. It's no excuse for what they've done to you. It never comes out in the best way, and It's pretty common that reaction, but we have to put it out whenever we need to. And if you need to put It out again, do it! And if you need a friend to talk to. I'm physically far away, but I'm here.

+Mariana Brito I don't know you but I wish you the best.
that's what therapy is for. do a Trauma narrative.
Just know that the internet will always be there for you. Have faith. We WILL fight back to those who do such awfull thing! They WILL pay for this!
Anyone in 2024? This song has given so much strength through so many years.

Actually I think Stromae - quand c'est is the most powerful message of the year but I like this song
+Ipsum Contumelia stromae man he is a genius , but let's not compare artist , they all give us the beauty of music
No it's one man can change the world
I couldn't even help but cry! So powerful. this song will help so many people. #touchingsouls
+Anthoney Ferrell (FerrellOnline) same here, and I'm not one to cry with songs, this was just that powerful.
shows a lot about yourself.
I cried as well so sorry to those people who got raped.
Poor Gaga no one even cares to even see her video's now ... Only 866,644 views in 24 hours is pathetic for a so called big star = Gaga's time in music has come and gone.
it moves slowly give it a month. plus the premiere of AHS she still in the light.
I’ve read through a lot of these comments and I never new that rape was such a common thing and I think I speak for everyone when I say it’s not alright. It’s never happened To me but I’m so sorry if it’s happened to you.
Most of my friends were, and I'm an empath. I can feel other people's pain, whether physical or emotional, around them. So when i was told the stories, I suffocated on the pain they felt as much as they did.
I haven't been through it myself, and I pray I never will, but I understand more than I ever thought I would.
Animal Lover one in five WOMEN 12/100 men
Its happen to almost my whole family of girls it happens to almost all girls (guys too just I haven't heard many stories but they are as important as us girls story's!!!l
Animal Lover it’s ok. I was adding not correcting
Bridgette Bianchi it’s sad coz the men’s one is probably
even higher than we think since they are less likely to say anything.
i was a 17 y/o girl in a public park bathroom.
people didnt listen, i was scared to tell my religius parents, i was scared to tell my bf..
i told them, filed a report, and got told i didnt give enough for them to help me. my parents acted like it didnt happen to me
my bf was the only one to check on me daily, make sure i was okay. never called me anything rude
never blammed my clothes or how it happened.
Did anyone take the time to really think about the ending??? Some people have friends who come and to there lives and help them or support them, but how about that lonely girl that has no friends and has now one by her side, I am not a victim so I can't say that I know how it feels, but I think that sometimes, think about how that girl with no friends is going through the same thing as you.
Wow, you're right!
It bothered me too! but I guess that's why they placed a hotline towards the end so people like her can call for help..
The girl at the very end was Gaga. She stood there so that people can know that she knows what it's like.
+leah diamond And what about the people that tell their friends, and then their friends just rape them also.
Zaxomio They need new friends.
I was sexually abused by my oldest sister when I was 4-5....I had to live with her in fear that she would do it again til I was 19.... Remember females can also do it to others...
Yuri Trash You are not the cause of what happened to you, these traumas May never leave you, there will be times that you will be overcome with sadness. That is normal, there’s no such thing as “get over it” or “it will be fine.”
The truth is that it won’t, it’s the harsh truth and people cover life in fairy tales like it will be alright.
You will be sad in life, you may never be able to move on. The best thing is to just accept what happened, accept its a permanent scar, and use the experience to make you stronger. To make a difference, help relate to others and use your strength
till it happens to us....well what about after it happens? Do we just give up? No, we march on, to victory or defeat, we never surrender.
Cause there’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for :)
YOU! Are worth fighting for! :) God bless you
Our spirits may bend but we will never break!
@@asherpikesgoldenmoralcinem5770 I love you♥️ and thank you♥️
I am so sorry that is not ok and not right I believe this should be stopped if you believe it to reply to this comment with yes and i will add your name to the petition
Men AND women do it, although men do it more.
Yuri Trash
I hope you didn’t forgive her.
As a victim of rape, here's my story (If you're interested) : My cousin sexually assaulted me when I was about 7 years old. I was afraid of men my entire life, whether they walked by me on the street or whether they hit on me or when I meet them for the first time. I remember I used to have my sister order my food for me if the worker was a man. As you can tell, I was terrified of them and tried to avoid them as best as I could. During that time, I knew that the only man that I could ever trust and love, was my father and a few other close male family members. However, as life went on and time went by, I grew into the young women I am today. I learned to forgive my cousin for what he did. After that forgiveness, my dark world became bigger and brighter. After that forgiveness, I made the career choice: Military. Of course, there are a lot of men serving in the military, and that doesn't frighten me one bit. I'm ready to serve alongside with them to protect my country.
Omgg ! Babeee ! this that happened to you is terrible and ofc you didn't deserve anything like this !! I hope you are okey and if you ever need help I am here ! My IG is : Vasoulahappy and my snap chat : vasoulahappy
you are a brave brave soul, sweetie. I'm so glad you overcame that. *hugs*
It is to bad that song is a total FLOP --- as no one is getting the message I guess? --- It is NOT even in the top 200 songs sold on iTunes = TOTAL FLOP
+Greg alan it is so ignorant of you to say that. Its totally obvious that she is trying to put a message across and the message is pretty clear, you should probably think before you speak.
+Kuro Neko that's horrible im so sorry
1997
I was 16
He was the “cute, quiet, nice guy”
Couldn’t be what I thought it was? :::
I was drunk
My shirt was tight
He “liked” me
He asked me if we were “cool” afterwards
Late 2021 quarantine:
I’m a mother
I have daughters
One daughter is 14
We’re talking ‘consent’ & SA
My mind so many years after that night it hit me hard: omg... that happened to ME.
I spiraled; but so much of my life after that night makes more sense to me now.
Today:
I’m nearly 42
I’ve told 4 people (and strangers on the internet)
It’s been a very long road. Very long
Next Oscar winner song.
PREACH
:3
yes!! of course!!
+Sam 새뮤얼 This song is boring, ugly and pretentious, and it won't win any Oscars because it is not from a movie.
+Mommy Guada check the news chick lol she is one nominee
I told my boyfriend about my sexual abuse....he didn't respond well. To him, I cheated. I guess he will never know how it feels.
No boyfriend is better
I’m sorry to hear that, sometimes it’s better to be alone than have an unsupportive partner that exacerbates your trauma. None of it was your fault.
you deserve better
You couldn't have cheated when you didn't consent.
I'm so sorry this happened to you
i'm so sorry, you deserve so much better
I didn’t even realize I had been sexually abused until I was 17. I wish people better understood how hard it is to tell even one person. Thank you Gaga.
Thanks for sharing your feelings
Maddie Etzel I was sexually asalted when I was 5 and didn’t realize till I was 11. I’ve never told anyone but plan on telling my best friend tonight.
Edit: I ended up not telling him :/
Only people who know what happened too me is my mom sister and best friend and my stepdad and the worst part is that my stepbrother was the one who did it
I thought it was my fault for 8 years. I was and still sort of am the person who believes that feeling guilt for being hurt is ridiculous and absurd and that you have to tell someone as soon as it happens and know in your gut that it's not your fault. But when I think about what happened to me, how long I stayed silent, the guilt and shame i felt, i realized you can't judge people for holding back. You really can't know till it happens to you.
Im 28 i was raped at 5 years old and its now catching up to me and its destroying my life 💔
Crap, this hit hard. I was sexually assaulted by a family member when I was 6 years old, and it happened more than once; then again when I was 15, by my best friends boyfriend. And just last month. I was asleep and had accidentally left my front door unlocked one night, and some drunk guy from my neighbors party thought it would be a good idea to sneak in and try his luck. I feel absolutely disgusted with myself, and like I am absolutely worthless.
I can't believe people disliked this song, or have the nerve to say anything bad about it.
I am so sorry for what you went through... for everything. You are so strong and brave. Sharing your story it takes a lot of courage. You deserve hapiness, you deserve to live without fear and pain, you deserve the best. I hope you are doing better, if not please remember that you are amazing 💜.
You are not worthless. You didn't "invite" this, nor did you cause it. The abusers are worthless.
I hear you, it hits different when it has happened multiple times, sometimes I wonder, am I at fault or is my fate this messed up
@@lwn2021 I have spent countless sleepless nights wondering how I brought this on myself, and have spent many years questioning why it happened. Something I didn't have 7 months ago when I left this comment, was the love and support from my partner. I'm doing a lot better, although the memories still haunt me, and everyday is a challenge. It took a great deal of strength to let my new partner get close to me, but he's a good one.
I'm sorry this has happened to you, and I pray you find the peace of mind and recovery that you deserve. It's not easy, and I'm here for you. It can be so physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. And daunting to try new things and open yourself up to new experiences.
If people don't like the song? The music? Or the rythim?
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?!"
*I did but you didn't believe me when I told you the first time*
-- I am so sorry they refused to believe you, I believe you and you are strong ❤️ it was not your fault ❤️
I’m a Man, I’m from Pakistan,
& I’m against any kind of violence on Women, specifically Rape.
It is the worst thing a man can ever do in his life, “REAL MEN... RESPECT WOMEN...”
Thank you for making a song on this.
@Rosa Frederiksen you really said "lol" in the same sentence as "raped me". id be traumatic. nothing funny about being raped yk.
@@festive5476 We laugh to hide the pain.
@Rosa Frederiksen It doesnt where someone is from, all that matters is that theyre a decent person. 1 guy from Pakistan who may mention it because they have a bad reputation isnt the same as another guy from Pakistan who is a bad person.
@@sarahgabriella84 oh damn. Yeah that makes sense.
It's not just women it's about men too because those males who have endured this find it even harder to cope due to the toxic masculinity standards. Assault is Assault no matter the gender. We should stand united if it happens to anybody regardless of their gender...
“why didn’t you report?”
i didn’t know it was wrong.
Same.
The most heart wrenching thing for me was finding out it was wrong
It's not fair for us
Mollye Gibson i know
I was so scared to get in trouble.
The fact that it’s still happening 8 years later shows not much has changed 😢 We think we have evolved so much and that we shouldn’t have to still be fighting this fight. But the fact is there are still people who think they have the right to take something that isn’t theirs to take. Evil is all around us, now more than ever. Stay safe ❤
I was thinking the same thing. When are people going to stop. It's not like they don't know what they're doing. They know rape is wrong.
I was 7 when it happened to me. I'm now 34 and I'm still in therapy.
moonlitenmagic oh I'm so sorry
moonlit empathic OMG I AM SO SORRY
7 YEARS OLD !!!!!!😭
I am sorry to read this moonlitenmagic. I'm in therapy for what happened to my kids. I can't let go that I didn't protect them. I trusted the people who did it. and my son is finally talking about what happened. they're both going BACK to counseling. I hope they can both heal. breaks my heart every minute of every day. I can't even work because im so parinoid. they were only 3 and 6, when it started. they couldn't tell me until one was almost 8 and the other was 6.
Eseercam Thank you
I feel so sorry to see this, but you did the right thing to listen to your kids. You are a brave mother/father and I hope you find your peace.
how can one dislike this ?
it's a song that actually contains an important message
+Tony Seyffer You clearly got it wrong. The video never claimed all men were like that.
+Tony Seyffer No, it's that this society is effed up and that anyone can be a victim. Not just females. Even men. And that's a big problem that shouldn't even exist. The message is that no matter where you go, you may not always be safe, and you can't just try and understand how one feels after experiencing something that you haven't experienced all you can do is just be there for them and just listen to whatever they have to say.
+Tony Seyffer well, most rapist are men so yes. And no one is saying that men are evil.
+Tulio Eduardo Not only that, It also sounds so pretty and powerful. If it's not for the message, then at least listen to how the music sounds but even then there are dislikes.
+Tony Seyffer The message is too show awareness of rape.
I watched this when it came out at 14 and it scared me; I hoped to never have to relate to these lyrics. Now I am 19, and I relate.
Your comment has me crying because I was about to share one the exact same as this. I am so sorry. The pain is incomparable, healing is even harder. I love you wherever you are, I hope you find peace xx
I’m so so sorry. I love you ❤️
Omg same. Someone took advantage of me while I was drunk 😞
I am beyond sorry to hear that this.
*Sigh*
It wasn’t ur fault! U matter and ur loved. We see u, hear u and believe u. I hope ur healing well, stay strong
When I was 10 this happened I’m 11 now and I just got free today and still no one knows I just want to forget about it and act like it didn’t happen I tried to fight it I couldn’t fight it i tried so so hard I’m crying writing this because I’m finally free 😃
Hello dear,
Do uou need to talk about it?
I'm here.
i'm available to talk too okay? If you need anything, reach out love x
You don't deserve this and it's never your fault.
@@sxb8246 awww thanks very much I will be sure to talk to you do you have any other social media platforms?
@@mumisha6627 thanks I needed that 🥰do you have any other social media platforms for us to talk
Tell them. Tell everyone. Scream it out loud. Because it’s always going to stay with you and it should stay with him too. I was your age and younger when it happened to me. Make it his burden.
I wasn't raped. But I support everyone who was. I want you to stay strong and to life your life in the way you always wanted. Be careful but don't be afraid. Also I am really moved by the amount of comments and people who are sharing their story. I love you all. Stay strong!❤
Dude, it’s not funny

Close enough. 1 in 5 women get raped every day, globally, by straight men.
Thank you that honestly made me cry idk u but ur an amazing person!
