My views • I think rape is very wrong and I do know of people that have been raped and I feel very sympathetic towards them. Jokes made about rape anger me sometimes because its not a joke I think that if someone gets convicted of rape their sentence should be 10 years or more
Personal Experience • My grandma was raped when she was 12 years old and became pregnant with my Mom. She hid the pregnancy as long as should could and by the time it was discovered it was to late to do anything about it
