Very sad!!! and disturbing...

The world is small. And you are VERY right, it is not just illegal aliens who are trafficked, Americans are as well. As the article said, they haven't found any Americans becaue they're not looking for them.

Trafficking knows no race, ethnicity, age, or sex, it simple knows there is money to be made from other human beings.

Sophie,
I've been away from the pc for a few days and only just read this thread havent even been on Y***ho yet .
I started to read your poems, but had to stop. people may call me an old fashioned hippy on here, but who cares thats who i am.
I ended up with tears in my eyes before i had read half way down the first one.
But writing does help you get the bad feelings out and will help you on to your recovery.

best wishes

You made it out alive and now you can tell your story and possibly help others that have noone to turn to. College may be tough to deal with, but you can do it, if you have overcome worse. God has put us all here for a journey, yours may have been very rocky at the start, but hopefully, with your strength, you can serve a purpose to others and make a difference.

How old are you? You seem to be young from your pics, you could probably be my little sister. I admire you for being strong. Don't give up and whenever in doubt you have alot of encouragement from your friends @ BB4U!!

Please keep in touch and PM if you need a friend!!!

Well said.

Sophie, I couldn't imagine going through 1% of what you've been through. Just remember, what happened to you was NOT your fault. You've got people here who care about you and a good support system here as well. Keep your head up!
