Try to contact emergency services as soon as possible. If there were any witnesses make sure you know who they are. If it happened in your home, do not touch anything as police forensics will take prints etc. you will need to attend the emergency department and they use what is called a sexual assault kit on you to take samples, photograph your injuries and give you any medication required. Then you will be offered counselling and this is perhaps the most important part. Counselling helps you process what has happened and not let it turn into a post traumatic stress syndrome. Never forgo the counselling or trivialise the event as it will come back and haunt you for ever.

I understand that you may be feeling scared or angry or threatened. My first suggestion is to tell someone you trust very much. It doesn't have to be a parent. A friend, a guidance counselor, I've even gone to my minister before :) again, if your comfortable, perhaps you should contact the police. They will be able to help with overcoming trauma as well as ensuring your assaulter is caught.

You should reach out to someone whom you can trust. You should also see a doctor and get examined for any possible STIs, or other things. And most importantly remember that it was not your fault, and you are not alone.

If you have been sexually assaulted I would recommend that the person talk to someone they trust or a Professional and disclose what happened. Additionally, to get checked out by a Physician for STIs and any other health related concerns as a result of the assault. Ideally, contacting the authorities would the best yet every person has to decide if they want to do this and if it's in their best interest.

Don't ignore your problem. Talk to your friends and family. Maybe even a doctor. You're not alone in this.

I believe the best thing to do will be to contact someone you can trust e.g. your parents, and then the police for support, Possibly speak to your doctor :) feel free to chat whenever you want

Go to therapy or a group counseling session to relate your experience and subsequent anxiety with others who have been in similar situations.

tell the police, or someone near you that could help. if you are upset about it, or scared about it, probably find someone to talk to too.

Report it immediately! These things needs to be out, don't feel ashamed it's not your fault! Whoever did this belong behind bars and have his dick cut off as a punishment!
