Hidden Truth Jamie Porter

This story is about a specific time in a young girl's life where she hid the darkest secret from her loved ones. It describes in vivid details things that were done to her that she was afraid to tell because of the fear of not being believed. Not because she was a liar, but because of who her perpetrator was. She would later share her story with a close relative, who would then let the secret out. After years of hiding her pain, she shares how you can forgive someone who has done you wrong, even if they are not sorry. She encourages young men and women to say something even if you don't think you will be believed by others. Always speak out and stand up against abuse. This story describes the lifetime effects that sexual abuse can have on a child, but most of all this story tells the hidden truth.
