*its extremely difficult to trust anyone (adults especially) *you realize that not everyone is good & there are really scary sick people in the world *you feel so isolated/alone because no one understands *victims of sexual abuse have many intimacy problems whether that means they are promiscous at a young age or terrified and completely turned off by sex *children who have been molested usually have exaggerated startle reflexes (if someone touches them they jump a foot in the air) *feeling absolutely worthless *low self esteem *mental problems may manifest physically (eye twitch, shaking, etc) *if they have never told anyone about the abuse, tend to grow up very secretive, obsessed with privacy, and extremely distrustful I really hope this helps! Good luck on your paper :) Love Haydee <3
