Quotes 

• Amanda Rollins : [to Mandy]  You know, it might feel good to take control. You know, you can keep a promise to yourself that if it does get bad, you could always do something about it.

  Mandy Fowler : You don't know how I feel.

  Amanda Rollins : I know more than you think. You know I told you my name was Amanda, too. Well, when I was your age, I lived in a tiny town in Georgia and everybody gossiped. And I did something stupid and I got a reputation. And it's all about the names that they were calling me: "Easy Ass Amanda" and worse. It took a long time and I realized what other people said about me, it didn't define me. Only I can define me. And when I was old enough, I went and got this.

  [shows Mandy a tattoo that has her name on on it] 

  Amanda Rollins : It's my name, Amanda. Just to remind myself that's who I am, not any of these other names that I was branded with.

• Mandy Fowler : [to her classmates]  I'm a survivor of sexual assault. I felt broken. I was sad, angry, but then what came after the bullying, I felt like I was underwater, drowning. And I want you to know, what you say, what you say to each other, it hurts. It has consequences.

• Mandy Fowler : The kids at school hate me enough. They think I'm a liar. They trashed my locker.

  Olivia Benson : I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult this has been.

  Mandy Fowler : I can never go back. Everyone's blaming me for taking down Andrew and Daniel and Max. Me, not them. If you don't believe me, just search Twitter for #freeandrew.

• Mandy Fowler : [while posting a video on her vlog]  I just don't care. No more police. No lawyer, no more trials, no more being the victim. And I feel great because I figured out that you can change the past. I have the power and I've decided whatever happened, it's done. It's over. It doesn't matter because I'm not that girl and I'm never gonna be that girl again.
