Would you tell your pre-teen daughter about your experience with rape?

She’s at that age when there is discussion at school. Would my personal experience be helpful?

I was raped by two male friends at the age of 15, then again by an acquaintance when I was in college at the age of 20. I was afraid to tell my parents about what happened so I never did. I don’t want our daughter to feel that she can’t come to us if anything ever happens to her.

Would this be a good time to share my experience with her? She’s an intelligent girl and wise for her age.
