    If you don't plan to do it for yourself, you should do it for someone else. Help prevent rape by reporting your case so that the person that did it to you won't get the chance to do it to someone else. Rapists are often repeat offenders. As for telling your parents, I'm sure that their anger would be more than fleeting when they find out that you were raped, no matter what you were doing beforehand.

    If you are not ready to tell your parents, tell a friend or call a help line. Then someone can be there with you when you tell your parents and you can have the support you need for this difficult time.

    The longer you wait, the harder it is. If you can not tell your parents, tell someone.

    First admit to them that you went somewhere that you weren't supposed to go. Then apologize and go on and tell them what happened there. Your parents love you and they need to know. Trust them because I believe they will be much more upset about the rape than the fact that you were where you weren't supposed to be! Let them comfort you and get you medical care ASAP
