  1. Emotional abuse leaves only invisible scars.  Emotional abuse includes such things as severe manipulation, ranting and shouting, belittling, namecalling, impoverishment, and many other forms of cruelty that take their toll mainly on one's emotions.  

    A girl may mean she's been in some form of relationship where some of these things were done to her.  She may also mean she has been in an emotionally stressful situation lately.  A new mom may feel "emotionally beaten" because of all the stress involved in that task, even though no one was cruel to her.  

    Ask a few tactful questions and find out which she means.  Either way, be a good listener.  That often helps to heal emotional scars.


  2. it means that she is emotionally hurt.  

  3. It means she's been screwed over!

  4. Usually, when someone says they are 'emotionally beaten', it means they've been emotionally abused. This can range from just being belittled (demeaned, insulted, harassed) to being told that she is ugly, fat, etc. It's the classic pattern of a girl who is mistreated at home or by a significant other (my mother went through that when her BF in college insulted her weight and appearance in an attempt to get her to change).

    Being 'emotionally beaten' is like having PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder]. The symptoms can take months and often years to come out.

    Wikipedia says this:

    Psychological abuse is the willful infliction of mental or emotional anguish by threat, humiliation, or other verbal or non-verbal conduct. It is often associated with situations of power imbalance, such perhaps as the situations of abusive relationships and child abuse; however, it can also take place on larger scales, such as Group psychological abuse, racial oppression and bigotry. A more "mild" case might be that of workplace abuse. Workplace abuse is a large cause of workplace-related stress, which in turn is a strong cause of illness, both physical and mental."

    Another entry on the topic (on Wikipedia) says:

    "Research seems to indicate differences in the types of relational aggression typical to children of different ages. Younger children are more likely to use direct forms of relational aggression, e.g., "You can't come to my birthday party." In contrast, older children are more likely to use more covert methods of harm, e.g., by making up demeaning stories about the victim and passing them around at school or other environments where social standing is important to the victim."

    SO - you will want to read much more about this and make sure you fully understand what you're being told by the young woman in question.

    Regards & good luck,
