Sexual Abuse


            
             Sexual child abuse is one of the most impure acts done to a young individual. It indeed violates one's most precious inner pride and outer glory. Sexual abuse occurs when an individual of more experience and knowledge forces a child to do things for sexual pleasure. Shamefully, the people they trust commit such vulgar acts. The abuse can either be physical or emotional, allowing certain behavioral patterns to form, making the young child feel uncomfortable in particular surroundings. "One out of every four children will be a victim of sexual abuse" (Sexual Assault Crisis Center's Home Page). Sexual child abuse is a disturbing act that effects a young mind to corrupt into non-normal behavior, and untrustworthy relationships. .
             One of the most effects of child abuse occurs in the child's behavioral status. Many children experience disturbing sleeping patterns that can haunt them for as long as they live; making them feel unsafe even in their own beds. Others may develop inappropriate sexual interests, excessive use of drugs and alcohol, and poor performance in school. A sexually abused child would avoid getting undressed around others and eventually wear more layers of clothing. They tend to isolate from society, due to embarrassment. If the abuse occurs at home, sexually abused children find ways to isolate themselves and avoid home as much as possible. In addition, children would draw and make up stories involving sexual deeds, and act out seductive pleasures. .
             Another effect that sexually abused children may encounter is emotional issues. They follow a depression stage that causes them to have suicidal thoughts. They feel as if no one loves them and that they are the ones to blame. .
             Their self-esteem levels decrease drastically, including the amount of confidence they have in their future relationships. The lack of trust plays a huge part in their role as a sexually abused child.
