Dear Panel,

I am 15-years-old and 4 years ago I was raped. Now I have a fear of guys.

I like this guy named Brad. He likes me and doesn't want to hurt me. But I can't really trust him. We're just friends right now but he asked me to the prom. I want to go but I am afraid that I'm going to get hurt again.

How can I stop being afraid?

– In Love
