Date Rape by Kyra Mieczkowski

A huge problem in the world is date rape. Most people think date rape means while you're on a date with the person, but it can be by a someone you know or a stranger. Date rape is not about sex, it's about the power the person has over the victim. Most times, the rapist will try using "date rape" drugs by slipping them into your drink. If you go to a party, club, or bar, here are some tips to stay safe.

• Don't accept drinks from strangers. '
• Go with somebody you trust, like a friend or sibling. 
• Keep your drink with you at all times. 

If you are raped, make sure to tell someone you trust right away. Melinda didn't tell anyone and kept it bottled up inside which isn't healthy.
