Story about a 15 year old CSA survivor from Pennsylvania who will be on a panel of survivors at the Penn State Conference on Child Sexual Abuse, October 29-30. This panel will discuss the unique challenges men face in overcoming the trauma of sexual abuse. He's FIFTEEN and he's speaking out! God love him! At 15 I was smoking dope or drinking every day to numb myself.

Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry "
