Rape - February 18th 2013, 10:33 PM

My sister is 14. She's disabled with severe learning difficulties and the mental age of a 6 year old. A few week ago she was raped by someone at the youth club she attends. She hasn't been affected by the rape as she doesn't understand what happened, which in a way is good as she isn't suffering.
I've held it together and stayed strong to help my mum and dad through and to help my sister through all the procedures that have followed the rape but now I just feel lonely and helpless. I can't go out with my friends and find it difficult to attend college as the thought of what happened just eats away at me. I've tried talking to my friends but every time I mention it I get angry at them because they don't understand what I'm going through.
I've considered going for counselling but I feel like others will think I'm overreacting to everything and I don't fancy spilling my heart out to someone I don't know. But then I don't fancy spilling my heart out to someone I know.

I don't know what to do ...
