Sexually violeted

[irishboi102]

so i have heard recently that a 2 year old got molested, this of course is horrible. my question is if you were sexually violeted would it be easier to be a baby, child, teen or adult? (Non-would be easy)

I think if it happend as a baby it might not be as bad as the others becuase u most likely wouldnt remember it.

what are your thoughts?

Well to be molested altogether would be horrible, but depending on what age the baby is he/she might remember it. If you were a teen and you got molested I think it would be worse and youll most likely remember it for the rest of your life. But I think any age group would remember it well, but I dont think many babies would get molested because anyone who would molest a baby just deserves to be slaughtered.

Babies and very young children do get raped and seriously assualted. Its incredible to think that anyone can be so perverse and so evil, but it does happen, and at that age there is not only going to be mental harm but most likely physical internal injuries too. I have no idea what the long term effects would be, but I dont think there is a good age at which to be abused.

Sexual abuse-at any age- is an awful expirience, and I don't think we can classify one as 'better' then any other. That said, there are difforent symptoms for each, and each is difforent in terms of the mental health of the person being abused. The younger the person, the more harmful the effects, as they are more likely to listen to their attacker, not tell anyone, or not know what is happening. As people grow, so do their maturity, and they are more likely to understand it and be able to fight back/ seek help for their mental state of mind, while a younger kid may keep it to himself, beliving (as often told by his attacker) that the act is normal, and/ or being scared that the attacker will hurt him or his loved one.

I'm going against the grain and saying teen/adult.

There is no good time to be molested or raped.
But when you're older you're old enough to understand what's going on and, at least logically, know why you feel how you do.

As a child these things aren't explained and you don't know what happened really.
As an infant, I'm not even going to go there.

I'm with Kyle on this one. Of course any age is a horrible age, but as a teen/adult, it's easier to understand what's going on. When a child gets molested, it's just a horrible experience through and through.You don't understand what's going on, and often internalize the blame, even more than an adult does. As an infant, the physiological effects can be devastating, though I'm not sure about the psychological impact.

This one's hard. Living through sexual abuse both as a child and a teenager/adult, I would have to say that I'm the most numb to it now. It probably damages me the most at this age, but I don't give as much reaction to it. When your a kid, it's scary as hell. It's that constant fear, is he going to find me tonight? Am I going to get hit or worse? It's horrible at every age, and infant is very sick though I don't remember anything before age three, so I don't think I would mind as much.

For my final answer, adult.

[Asylum]

i would have to say baby. I say this because perhaps the baby won't remeber due to an extremely young age. But none of those ages would make it better.

[OnceMoreWithFeeling]

They are all horrible and it is sick that is would happen to anyone at any age, but I would think having it happen as a child would be the worst. Because they do't even know what is happening and will probley not tell anyone about it.

As a child, it can seriously cause many mental health problems if you're molested/raped, including DID (dissociated identity disorder), depression, emotional difficulties, PTSD, etc.

As a teenager, you're more likely to remember it, so that in itself can cause problems, as well as the above.

At any age, you're at risk of many problems from being molested/raped, so I'd say every age.

When you are a young kid you often do not understand what is happening. I can talk from experience since I was rapd at the age of 6. A couple of friends who know have also been raped at older ages. They were able to get help and not blame themselves. The person who did it to them is under arrest but, since I was so young I didn't know what happened or what to do. I blame myself every day becasue the pervert is still out the. Being an older teen or adult seems easier (still very difficult) because no matter what age you are you're going to have horrible memories (or flashbacks like me). At an older age you can stop the person and get help.
