projectunbreakable: The poster reads: 1 in 6 males are sexual abused before age 18 - far more than are at risk for diabetes (1 in 10) or heart disease (1 in 8). At 8 I became a statistic - at 30 I became a survivor. (Most male survivors take at least 20 years to begin healing - if they ever do) For 22 years I lived in silence. Now I want the world to know - what happened to me can happen to anyone. Both the abuse and the healing.  www.malesurvivor.org // @malesurvivorORG on Twitter “For every 100 friends you have on Facebook, 15-20 (at least) are survivors of sexual abuse.” Men rape victims do exist, and in fact studies show that male rape victims make up almost half. Just because it isn’t reported, doesn’t mean it does not exist. Support everyone, ignore no one.
