Same here.

What do you expect???? I never told my mom. It made me insecure and anxious. I still never told anyone. I feel that was way too inappropriate. I later became a L&D nurse and realize they are NOT supposed to see you ALONE behind close doors. Their mom and guardians also should be charged. I get why many don't speak out. Many won't believe and at that time many don't know abuse. But verbal is just as bad.

Also why didn’t she address those problems before the Olympics? Rather, you wait until you hit the biggest stressor of life to address them? It’s also odd that her mental health came up not when she won her other gold medals, but at time she knew she did the wrong move that would have cost her a medal. A bit suspicious.

[@pippadawg7037]

@@TriciaRP Because it was a conspiracy and the FBI was involved and so was Gymnastics USA and others as well. We have been conditioned to think that powerful people would never plan crimes together. As if only street thugs and gangsters plan crimes involving more than one person. Of course powerful people take advantage of their situation to plan crimes together. Many girls were abused by coaches as well as by Nassar. Abuse was part and parcel of girls gymnastics and make no doubt it was girls gymnastics not women's gymnastics like it should have been. We shouldn't be sacrificing our children on the Olympic alter. Metals just aren't worth it.

My question is: Why in hell's high waters there wasn't a female nurse with each female sports participate? This IS A MUST EVEN IN GENERAL MEDICAL OCCURRANCES! WE even demanded a female nurse be with women/girls who are in medical offices for breast cares or exams. I'm appalled that female sports contenders are not treated with the same precautionary respect. This should fall on the Olympic administration personnel responsibility. It's their failure of rendering responsible behavior in care for their athletes.

Because in 2021 males can identify as girls so it don't matter if they had a flame nurse someone would be offended... because of our new and improved government assisted upbringing

After physical bullying I developed severe anger issues, for the next 3 years of my life I kept fighting against myself in my head that I was eating shit during every meal. While eating tomato or chilli sauce I fought against myself in my head that I was eating menstrual period blood. During EVERY single second of those 3 years I also kept fighting against myself in my head that the bullies were sodomizing me and my family members. As a result I severely couldn't concentrate during exams and classes. I am still having self esteem issues 14 years on from the incident. I went to army and didn't do some admin work due to fighting myself in my head and army people thought I was lazy and thus bullied me as well. This is why I have zero sympathies and zero tolerance for bullies. I am 31 years old and don't even have a wife now, partly sabotaged due to bullying. I have also missed out on $260,000++ of opportunity cost in earnings from jobs. I went to teach the bullies a lesson by cyberbullying/harassing them online, the bullies were so "strong" until they went to call the police LOL, but like I mentioned above, I have zero regrets :)
