My name is Carmen Plaatjies and I am from Ashton. I'm 18 years going on 19 years old. When people look at me they'll see a very caring,loving,friendly and most importantly always smiling person..Some people might even say my life is easy because I get everything I want and I still have both my parents...What they don't know is that under my smile there is a lot of heartache and a girl with a broken heart.....
The first heartbreaking story started when I was about 15 years old.I can still remember it like it was yesterday...My innocence was stolen from me by two men which I knew every well.They were friends of my cousins.My cousins was also in the room while these two men were busy raping me.I kept on calling out their names but they wouldn't do anything..They just stood there and stared at me while I was yelling and begging them to help me.I was crying my eyes out...A man that was walking pass the house were it happened heard me and came to my rescue.He called the police and the policeman that showed up was a family friend.He took me home and left so that I can tell my family what happened.The saddest part is when I told my father he got really angry at me and started to attack me.I got beaten so badly that I thought I was going to die...Anyway I survived the first story of my life but maybe I didn't took the second story so well....there is still lots more to tell but it will have to wait....FOR NOW.......
I thought that I won't be strong enough to handle being raped and I really wanted to give up on my life but God made it possible for me to survive whet happen....And he made it possible to keep on smiling to avoid people knowing the pain I went through......
