Hi Desolatex,

I am so sorry for what happened to you and for your current loneliness. Yes, you are young and a lot of people your age haven't had any serious relationships yet. (When I was in high school, I don't think I knew anyone who did--college is where everyone seem to finally find someone.)

Have you received any counseling to help you deal with the traumatic affects of your assault? Actually, the trauma from this might complicate your attempts to get close to someone--this happens with most assault victims--but this could probably be worked through with the help of counseling and/or support groups geared specifically for sexual assault survivors.

If you haven't gotten any help yet, I suggest you contact The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) as they can give you information and connect you with support centers in your area.
