Here's a comment left under a this post by Matt, a 16-year-old young man (a lot of guys your age are boys, Matt, but you're a young man). Matt was commenting on the story written by the young veteran who was falsely accused and who shared his gripping story with us. It is sad to hear of someone Matt's age being hurt like this. The pain will subside; Matt will recover as he moves on, likely to college, based on how articulate he is. But it pains me to read of his pain. Matt also cites our great contributor AfOR:
Hi.. Your story has helped me personally alot.. I'm sixteen and this same thing has happened to me. I was falsely accused and am still paying for it. The courts ruled in my favour but not before it completly ruined my life. It's been almost a year since the incident and have lived every waking moment thinking about it. The girl and I had been extremly close friends for over three years and in one day she changed my life forever. I lost every friend I had, even my closest friends who I have know all my life. It is extremly difficult now to make new friends and keep relationships. I just would like to say thank you, to the writer and AfOR this has really opened my eyes to things and helped me emotionaly. I just wish that this didn't have to happen to anyone, except maybe the women who have done this to us. Thanks alot.
Matt.

Stay strong, Matt. This will get better with time.
Taking women at their word regarding sexual assaults is no different than giving dynamite to children. What has happened to Matt has happened and is happening to men of all ages, all across the Western world and beyond. All because women "feel upset," they think they are entitled to wreck lives. What can one say, except ... what awful, nasty people? They aren't deserving of respect - not the slightest bit.
Keep the faith, Matt. Time heals most wounds.
As a falsely accused, I can't add much more to what I wrote in the comments nearly a month ago, which Matt has already read:

Thanks for sharing your story, Matt. Stay safe and stay sane.
Hang in there Matt. I pray things will get better for you. It's not shameful to get some therapy hun. It can only help.
