Sexual Abuse-Personal Narrative

One of the first times I ever went to a hospital was when I had to have a medical examination done to support sexual assault allegations. I was 12, and I elected not to have my mother with me for fear that she could not emotionally handle what was about to happen. Although I was lucky to have compassionate physicians, I still remember the loneliness that I felt and that I would continue to feel after that appointment. I was fortunate enough to be able to receive free therapy throughout my high school years, and that is something that has never been lost on me. Because of this, I have a personal passion for supporting sexual assault victims in whatever way I can. Throughout my high school years, I spoke at various engagement to fundraise for

A major obstacle that I faced was overcoming the abuse that I suffered and getting help for it. My father was physically, sexually, mentally, and abusive towards me, my sister, and my mom. This impacted me in many ways as you can imagine. I was traumatized, and I hid it until I was fourteen and was sent to rehab. I began to act out in many ways to try and cope with, but it ended up backfiring and causing me a lot more problems. I was kicked out of two schools one was White Station and the second one Lausanne Collegiate School. I was let back in to Lausanne because I received help and overcame it. The reason I am telling you this is because I have survived all of this and I have become a different person. I acted out in drugs and alcohol along with skipping

Sexual abuse is a prevalent crime that can have numerous short and long term effects on a victim. It describes as any form sexual activity that is accomplished by force or threat where consent is not given. This includes rape, molestation, incest, and other similar forms of non-consensual sexual contact. The effects of sexual abuse are not the same for every victim, victims may feel varied responses and emotions that can depend on own situations. The act of abuse may had happened a long time ago or be more recent.

There are many things I wouldn’t put past my estranged mother: she’s trolled me in the comment section of my online articles, publicly disowned me and my sister on Facebook more than once, and put me in very serious legal trouble. But I never thought I would see her openly defending a man who bragged about “grabbing pussy”, nor did I think I’d see her outright mock victims of alleged sexual assault, especially because she is a survivor of sexual abuse and assault.

Throughout our lives, every person encounters hardships that put a strain on other aspects of our lives. The biggest hardship that I have faced was taking care of my wife after she suffered a severe head injury while at work. The injury was the result of a salad fridge door falling and striking the back of her head, causing her to receive a severe concussion that lead to post-concussion syndrome. As a result, she became completely dependent on me. Some of the major hardships that we faced during these times are finances, helping her cope with her injury while she recovered, and maintaining my 4.0 GPA.

Sexual abuse, specifically from a male, generates many negative consequences, especially to the victims involved. Male violence occurs all over the United States and has been steadily rising (Hooks 117). In Bell Hooks’ article, “Feminist Move to End Violence”, she discusses the reason why male violence is occurring. She explains, “While male supremacy encourages the use of abusive force to maintain male domination of women, it is the Western philosophical notion of hierarchical rule and coercive authority that is the root cause of violence against women, of adult violence against children, of all violence between those who dominate and those who are dominated” (Hooks 118). Due to the relevance of male violence today, feminist writers have been addressing this issue and its impact in their novels.

The reported concern is a sexual abuse incident that reportedly occurred between the subject child and a person who is not considered legally responsible for her. An LER was submitted; CPS is to contact NYPD to obtain information regarding their investigation as well as the possible need for a CAC appointment.

Many children that are sexually assaulted have many deficit after the assault. Corwin & Keeshin (2011) states in sexual abuse, genital injuries may result in acute pain and increase the risk of long-lasting effects such as sexual dysfunction, urinary problems, sexually transmitted infections such as human immunodeficiency virus and reproductive problems. (p.2). Sexual abuse is not only physical but it is psychological as well as is it emotional. Especially with being sexually abuse, the child would be in so much pain, and at the same time try to figure out what just happening to them. Not just that there is a chance that they might get diseases like sexually transmitted diseases, but they may experience dysfunction in their body like urinary problem because their bodies has not fully developed. The other side effect according to Corwin & Keeshin (2011) some child victims of sexual abuse display few initial effects, the majority show some signs of posttraumatic stress, and more than one-third meet diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Another effect that this may have according to Corwin & Keeshin (2011) is

According to RAINN, “Every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted.” That being said within the course of a year, 321,500 are victims of sexual violence. Ages 13-34 remain at the highest risk of sexual assault and 90% of them are victimized females. Take a second to think back to the age of thirteen, imagine how life would differ knowing how sexual assault affects someone. People who have been raped or sexually assaulted suffer serious physical and/or psychological consequences: psychological effects, physical changes and PTSD.

Professor Culter became a victim of sexual abuse when she moved to her grandparents house. Her uncle molested and sodomized Mrs. Culter for about thirteen years. She chose to stay quiet and and speak about the abuse until she got older.When she built enough courage to tell her family about that incident she went to the police station to file a report. But unfortunately because she waited a while to file a complaint against her uncle, she missed the statute of limitations by a year. Throughout her presentation she had a unique way of telling her story by incorporating rock music specifically songs from a band called Linkin Park. An interesting point Overall, it’s unfortunate that she went through that situation, but through that issue she became

After the phsycilogical abuse from my parents, my only goal was to graduate and nothing further until I befriended my sister's friend. I didn't really think much of him until I discovered his past. This person came from living with a physically abusive father to living on the streets to becoming this successful person standing right infront of me. This person has shown me that no matter what background or family you come from, you can always bring yourself up. Because of this person I've been able to become who I am

The effects of sexual abuse are long lasting and follow a person into their adulthood, which causes issues in forming strong and healthy relationships as adults. Furthermore, when involving a child and a parental figure, these issues become even more prominent, as they affect relationships both at home and in the future. Through her collection of poetry, Rupi Kaur expresses her own experience with the sexual abuse she experienced from her father. The first section of Milk and Honey displays how sexual abuse affects the way Kaur views sex and love, as well as the changes in her relationship with her parents. The following sections follow Kaur towards healing and learning to love herself. Milk and Honey presents the negative effects felt by

In another experiment, participants did surveys at baseline about self-report of childhood abuse. The National Death Index was used to keep track of the mortality data during the next 20 years. “Women who reported childhood emotional abuse were 22 percent more likely to die during the follow-up period than women who didn't report abuse. If they reported moderate physical abuse, they were 30 percent more likely to die. For severe physical abuse, the increased risk was 58 percent. The more types of abuse reported, the greater the risk of death during those 20 years.” stated by National Public Radio. These results suggest that not only is the abuse establish psychiatric consequences, but women who report childhood abuse also remain susceptible

One high school assignment that was very challenging was in my AP Language class my junior year of high school. The assignment was to write a research paper over sexual assault. This was something that was very challenging, because a few very close people to me have been victims of sexual assault. The writing process took awhile, because I decided to interview them to have them go into as much detail as possible. This was very hard on them, and it was very hard on me to see their reactions and to hear the incident. Once we got past that I went into serious research mode by reading different books about it it and searching as many credible websites as possible. I was very shocked and heartbroken to see how often sexual assault occurs to both

What was the worst thing that has ever happened to you? Perhaps you totaled your brand new car leaving the dealership, or you lost your dream job? Maybe you were bullied as a child, or were the victim of a crime. Did you go for a routine checkup, only to be told you an expiration date? Maybe you watched on as a pair of taillights faded into the darkness, as the love of your life left you. Worse still, maybe you witnessed your best friend’s, your parent’s, or your child’s chest rise and fall for the last time. Whatever came to your mind when I asked you the worst event of your life, remember that. Recall that emptiness, and that crippling pain. Now if I offered you an out, a way to delete that memory from the depths of your mind, would you take it?
