Is it normal to think that a lot of girls lie about sexuall abuse?

Now I'm not by any means trying to downplay sexual assault, but for some reason I get the feeling that a good hand-full of chicks (specifically younger ones) like to lie about being abused sexually to garnish attention/sympathy.

I've been told by almost 10+ girls that they were raped in some way shape or form in there life, and its kind of ridiculous. Not simply because of the claims cause I'm sure it happens for real at times, but just how some of them come off. For instance most of these girls I barley knew, and yet they were willing tell me about that? If I was raped, I would be grossly embarrassed by what happened and probably wouldn't tell any body let alone someone I met last week.

Another example is when one of my buddies started talking to this chick over Facebook, who was friends with my brother, and she had the audacity to tell my friend (the same day they stared talking)that she was raped to the point that another hole was punctured within her vagina, and it just seemed so... "false" to me.

Idk. I can't be the only one, is it normal I know you got some stories for me, where they at?

    But you ARE also aware that about 1 in 4 girls will be molested, assaulted, raped, or in some other way be sexually taken advantage off/abused before she it 18?

    Yes, that includes an slightly older brother forcing her to give him a handjob as much as a stranger sliding his hand into her swimsuit/bikini in the swimming pool. In other words: Few of those cases are actually full-on rape, and i agree that probably many of full rape/abuse stories are not for real, especially if they are SO easily shared. Always do keep the knowledge in the back of your head though that while the story may be made up or exaggerated, there's a good chance the girl HAD some kind of experience.

    Some people will inevitably lie about things that will gain them attention but, on the other side of the coin, the majority of rapes go unpunished and even unreported.

    I feel the same way. And it's hard to believe people when there have been people who lied about that. You don't know who to believe. Don't think you're alone :P

    THANK YOU for bringing this up; I've noticed the exact same thing. Just WHY do women feel the need to torture us all with these revolting stories?
    It seems like males very rarely talk about such things, but females seem to have some sick obsession with it all. Really, I am sick to DEATH of hanging out on message boards and constantly coming across these damned women going on and on, telling strangers across the whole f***ing world every horrid little detail about how they were molested as children. WHY do people think that we want to hear about all this!?!? PLEASE, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!

    this is just like the lesbian trend but its harder to not care but its making a bad impact to those who actually were done harm with.

    if someone actually lied to that to just get attention is stupid.

    A lot of victims do not come forward for these reasons. They are either embarrassed , ashamed ,guilty or just disgusted with themselves. Some of these cases have lead to suicide and you should never take these incidents as a joke. If someone tells you that they are raped you need to take it as a serious matter not laugh in their faces. Also all victims will handle this different. A lot of people who have been raped will still seem reasonably normal as people. So you might not always be able to tell. This does not make it any less real.

    Hah, the only time I'll randomly share that shit is if I'm too drunk and it comes up in conversation. XD

    I see where you're coming from, but it's an odd dichotomy. A lot of people lie about it for attention. I knew a girl in college who was raped by every guy she dated for 2 years, and she jumped from guy to guy a lot.

    At the same time a lot of *actual* victims never come forward to make a report, because so many people lie about it. And you almost never hear from male victims at all, which pisses me off to no end. Yeah, a man *didn't* want to have sex with a woman, GET OVER IT, it's still fucking rape.

    I know I didn't report mine. The most recent "assault" could have very well been an accident on the guys part, without getting into details.... The other two were from years ago by the time I thought maybe I should go to the police, even with the statute of limitations it would have been too hard to prove, no hard evidence.

    I'm sure some people have lied about sexual abuse for sympathy and attention. Those people are low. But I'm sure that allot of the people who say it actually were at some point. Don't judge people by what some idiots have said or done.
