What will happen to children who have been abused as children when they grow up?

The degree and specific forms of abuse will have a far-reaching impact on shaping different personalities, abilities and mental health.

The more times and severity of abuse, the worse the result.

Abuse refers to the intentional or avoidable harm to children, mainly including the harm caused by certain activities, that is, abuse.

The harm caused by parents' inaction is neglect and will also lead to harm.

Abuse can be divided into several specific forms, any of which may be committed by one or more people.

Physical abuse harms children's health in various ways, and severe corporal punishment is equal to physical abuse.

Neglect refers to the failure to meet children's basic needs, such as food and clothing, medical care, protection and supervision.

Sexual abuse refers to sexual activity or contact between adults and children.

Emotional abuse refers to abuse or neglect that leads to behavioral, cognitive, emotional and psychological obstacles, such as rejection, intimidation, isolation, deprivation, belittling, contempt or failure to provide emotional support, care and love.

The consequences of abuse will be manifested in physical, emotional, cognitive and social aspects, and these consequences are often intertwined.

For example, hitting children on the head may damage their brains, leading to cognitive retardation and emotional and social problems.

The long-term consequences of abuse may also include poor physical, psychological and emotional health, impaired brain development, cognitive, language and learning difficulties, attachment and social problems.

Children who have experienced abuse have more abnormal psychological behaviors, lower self-esteem, more depression, anxiety and unhappiness. Children who have experienced sexual abuse may begin to actively participate in sexual activities at an early age.

For teenagers, abuse may lead to poor academic performance, illegal crimes, underage pregnancy, alcohol and drug dependence, and other dangers to themselves.

People who were abused in childhood often show anxiety, depression, anger or hostility in adulthood, distrust others, feel lonely or insulted, have sexual adjustment difficulties, and abuse drugs and alcohol.

Adults who have been injured in childhood may become competent parents, partners or employees as adults, but there is another side in their hearts, that is, they feel helpless and loveless, feel stupid and useless, ask others what kind of people they should be, even ask others what kind of people they should be, become paralyzed, and even feel like walking dead. This is because they were ignored, unloved, even attacked or hurt before the replay.

Keep children away from harm!

Child abuse is not easy to be found, mainly because of the child's own age, psychological immaturity and physical condition. Whether physically or psychologically, they can't respond in time when they are hurt, and many people don't have the ability or consciousness to appeal to the outside world.

From the point of view of human nature, a weak and young child will always only desire one thing, that is, to be loved and accepted by his parents. In the child's completely immature cognitive system, parents are the most authoritative and precious existence in the world.

Therefore, when parents abuse, insult or hurt their children, in the child's inner subconscious, he will unconsciously excuse and explain his behavior for his parents, even if it is abuse.

Children who have been abused, when you have a chance to see this place, you must know that being abused is not your fault. You don't need to make excuses for the abuser, and don't blame yourself for it. When you have the opportunity to grow, you should learn more knowledge, protect yourself better and heal yourself better.

Society has the responsibility to provide more effective remedies for children who are abused.

Without these help, these abused children will develop many social problems, some of which may cause greater harm to themselves and society. Time won't heal all wounds. Speak for children and don't let more children get hurt.
