If a girl was molested at age 7, how would her life be affected as she grows older?

Question

Molested by her step father.

Answer 1

You could end up really depressed or ahve trust issues or even end up repressing thsoe memories.

Answer 2

If you were to get help right after it happened, it could prolly be helped.

But since it's been seven years, the experience will prolly affect you somehow throughout your entire life.

You will prolly have issuses with sexual/intimate things, and trust.

But you can still get help, and it can always get better!

Answer 3

yes it doesnt matter what age she is. I was molested at 12 and I am 19 now and I still have issues.....some grow up and just have no respect for thereselves and think they have no choice in anything like that or they just get paranoid alot and dont like hanging out with new people because shell have a problem trusting people....I go to counseling now I didnt when i was younger becuz i didnt tell my mom  for 2 yrs and then I refused to go until I turned 18...I would put her in counseling as soon as possible

Answer 4

if he continues to stay their it would get worse. in my opinion! because you would have to see him everyday , walk around him etc. i would definitely tell my mom. & i would recommend you going to therapy! but if something isn't done know it could get worse. you'd probably have sexual & intimacy issues. or maybe not you might just not even care.

personal experince.

Answer 5

do people in your family (like your mum ) know about this ?

Answer 6

Trusted in a guy and s*x issue but ifa girl did it the other way around

Answer 7

Probably yes if she lives in the past. It usually gets quite beter when she finds a boyfriend who loves her.

Answer 8

Love! As long as he's there you will always have these issues, you will always be scares and feel like he's got some power over you. talk to aproffesional, try to teach yourself that not all men are like that and you'll be fine.

Answer 9

She would probably have trust and intimacy issues for the rest of her life.  Counseling would be the best bet.  With that kind of stuff it's best to tell people.  It takes a lot of weight off your shoulders.

Answer 10

YES !! she may not see it but it will, it does, and it wont stop !

if this has happened to you or anyone you know get therapy ! I'm a 14 year old girl who was recently sexually "assaulted" I'm going to try and use. You get the picture..

It affects me every second of every day. It hurts emotionally and what he did is NOT ok. If you need to talk e-mail me. [e-mail].

my prayers are with you.

Answer 11

just put in ur head  that not every male OR female will rape you. becasue they wont even if a guy comes at you with a hug. or w.e
