Conclusion

The survey data and chart included 99 students from my school views about being sexual abused, or if they were sexual abused. Most of the student hadn't been sexual abused, so didn't really have a view. My topic really didn't have anything to do with this, but it did tie on to my question: If you were sexual abused by someone close to you, did your trust change toward other people? So my conclusion is that trust is really an issue to abused people, and that it takes them awhile for them to fully trust anyone again.

Survey Data

99 people from my school took this survey. In the survey, more (45) people reported that they haven't been abused. Of the remaining students the most people who have experienced abused but can trust people once they get to know them is 22. 7 out of 99 people can trust people easily once they have experienced abuse. The last 12 people said that they keep to themselves.

In my sexual abuse research, i found out that more girls are sexually abused than boys. theres a greater chance on girls being sexual abused.. why? the book said because girls are usually more likely to not say anything. child molesters usually attack only one time, therefore they are much more easier to be caught. when there is abuser, this happens continuously in most cases its with someone they know, or someone extremely close to them.

Resorce Question

How is being sexually abused by someone close to you effect your trust toward others?

Introduction

My topic is the effect of trust toward others once you have been sexually abused.
I chose this topic because my best friend was sexually abused by her step dad and shes has a hard time getting to know people because she has trust issues. I know pretty much nothing about this topic but im willing to learn a lot. I hope to learn about all the effects of sexual abused people.
