Being Raped Is Not Something That You Should Ever Lie About

"I don't see any reasons why anybody should."

An 18-year-old student at the University of Alabama was arrested for filing a false rape report yesterday. Emma Mannion had told police that two men had forced her into a jeep Cherokee around 2 am yesterday, according to College Candy.

Tuscaloosa County’s Metro Homicide Captain, Gary Hood, stated that authorities had checked through the video surveillances and interviewed witnesses that might've been present at the time of the incident.

Nothing was found to support her allegations. The detectives had brought this information back to her, informing her about a lack of evidence found. The pressure must've gotten to her, because it wasn't long after that Mannion had admitted that her original story had been made up.

Hood did not disclose the reason why the 18-year old had lied.

He "credited the abundance of surveillance cameras throughout the area, located both on and off campus, for getting her to confess. “It disputed what she told us early on,” he said, referring to the surveillance footage," according to College Candy.

WHAT WAS MANNION THINKING?! WAS SHE SEEKING SOME TYPE OF ATTENTION?! If so, her planned worked...just maybe just not exactly how she wanted. If 15 seconds of fame is what she wanted, her wish was granted. She's all over the news now.

This is not something that Mannion should've ever lied about, that's like telling your teacher that a close relative of yours died, when that really didn't happen, but you just wanted to get excused for missing class or not bringing in your homework on time. I believe in karma, so whatever you put out there through actions and words (whether that be good or bad) will find it's way back to you. If therapy is what Mannion needs, please reach out to a therapist. You should never lie about being raped. I don't see any reasons why anybody should. Look what happened to Emma Mannion now, she got arrested and is probably still behind bars right now.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
