Dear Tina,

You really do need to see a doctor. Have your friend go with you she can go in the room with you and explain all your history with the doctor before having the exam. I would also suggest you seek some kind of thearopy to help you deal with all these bad things that have happend to you. You shouldn't feel the need to hide in your clothes, you shouldn't feel bad about yourself because of this it wasn't your fault at all. But you need to be able to realise that on your own with the help of a medical professional. Take care! Lori
