Personal Narrative: The Stereotypes Of Sexual Abuse
counselor I made some questionable decisions. I was always I good kid, I always did what I was supposed to. I never drank, never did drugs, never smoked. I had been in the same emotional abusive relationship since I was 16. I had only ever been with one guy, and I was so anger, because like I mentioned in past profiles I had been sexual abused when I was 16 and to scared to leave the abusive relationship from fear of letting everyone done and I was going through this heartbreak, I couldn’t understand. I always tried to be a good person and all these terrible things were happening to me. My mind set was not good, but I didn’t realize it at the time.
Social:
I started hanging out with some not so good people. I started drinking a little partying

    Personal Narrative: A Cruel World

    My mother, sister, and I were driving down Highway 124 on a hot July day when my mom screamed and slammed on the breaks. Fear rushed through our bodies. Outside the car window, a short young African American man was launched into the air. As he came down, a loud boom sounded as his body helplessly rolled off the hood of the faint green Toyota Corolla in front of us. The man lay motionless in the road while we waited for what seemed like hours for the driver to exit the car. His red shirt and gym shorts were ripped. The driver of the opposing car threw the vehicle in reverse in a spasmodic action in an attempt to end the man’s life. The injured man made an effort to crawl onto the Wendy’s sidewalk, forcing his body up on the curb to evade the car. The driver drove up onto the curb and blew its tire, just barely missing the wounded man. Realizing the driver would stop at nothing, my mother drove her white suburban in front of the car, blocking the violent perpetrator from doing any further damage.…

    Personal Narrative: The Argument Of Women

    This is another quote that focuses on the amount of women all over the world who are forced to last (through bad times) whatever harm comes their way. Not only in Afghanistan, but in every country, and every neighbourhood. This is an on going issue in the world that has been around for centuries and is one that is often times 'swept under the rug.' To me, this issue should not be over looked at all, and I would certainly like to see and take part in educating (communities of people) on women's…

    Personal Narrative: My Norm Violation

    For my norm violation, I decided to go out into a public place and briefly interact with complete strangers. To achieve this, I decided to simply say hi to individuals as they passed by me. In picking my location, I wanted to be somewhere with a lot of foot traffic. Ultimately, I decided to go to Fred Meyer on a Saturday, when I knew it would be busier, and start saying hi to unsuspecting shoppers. Even though this was a minor norm violation, it still made me feel very uncomfortable. Each time I went to speak I became nervous and scared people would respond to me negatively. After pushing through the awkwardness, however, and saying hello to large handful of people, I seemed to be getting a handful of the same reactions. People would either…

    Personal Narrative: My Perception Of Gender

    Gender was always a very tricky subject for me until I finally realized gender and sex are two different things. So, gender was never something I ever really thought about. I was a girl and that was that. It was definitely assumed for me based on my biological “label” of female at birth. I grew up with two sisters so there were lots of baby dolls and Barbies. But as I got older, aspects of other gender(s) became aware to me that I decided I wanted to incorporate into my own gender. I did not like wearing dresses so that “norm” was thrown out of my wardrobe options. I was much more comfortable in pants and a t-shirt playing outside. I became very interested in sports and always wanted to be outside shooting baskets or throwing around…

    my name is alicia n. wade

    My name is Alicia Nancy Wade. I don’t like my name so I go by “Lee-Lee”. I was born November 30th 1974 in Los Angeles, California. I am 37 years old. I have no biological children. I am attending Los Angeles City College to obtain a Small Business Management Certificate and an A.A. Degree in Human Services-Generalist. I am enrolled in Psychology 1 because it is a required class to obtain my degree. My favorite things to do are making money and spending time with my niece and nephew. I really don’t have friends’ only associates. I think my associates would describe me as a brave, smart, misunderstood, kind-hearted individual-until you cross me. I honestly don’t know what my personality is like, what I can say is that I don’t like to be lied to or lied on and once you get past the hard exterior I am really a cool person. I have had several major life events that have brought me to the place I am now. The first major life event was the death of my Aunt Lorena in 1982.When my aunt passed away even though I was only 8 years old, I felt as if God had taken my best friend away. My Aunt Lorena was an addict. My Aunt Lorena’s drugs of choice were Heroin and alcohol (Seagram’s Gin).My Aunt Lorena also suffered from epilepsy. My Aunt Lorena was killed by her boyfriend; he stabbed my Aunt Lorena 15 times and let her bleed to death over the course of 3 days. I hold my mom responsible because they had a fight a week prior and my mom and aunt weren’t talking nor was my aunt allowed to come to my house. I remember I kept asking where my Aunt Lorena was and if she was coming over, my mom would simply reply “NO “and “don’t ask me again.”7 days without my Aunt Lorena and then we got the call that she was gone-for real this time. See sometimes when my aunt would have seizures they would declare her deceased or she’d be in the hospital as Jane Doe because she’d forget her name and wouldn’t carry her identification or health alert bracelet. The next major life event was the death of my…

    The Effects of Sexual Abuse

    When you talk about the short term and long term effects of sexual abuse, the list can be long with many variables. The variables can be anything from someone being raped by someone they do not know, which still has the same damaging effects but not to the extreme when the individual was raped by someone they know and had a relationship with. Another example of a variable that could affect short-term and long-term effects of sexual abuse would be the care that they received after the abuse happened. When an individual is able to get counseling and has a strong support system after going through something such as rape, it is suggested that somebody with this type of help after being raped is less likely to have long-term effects from a rape. Now on the other hand, if somebody does not have the support system in the counseling afterwards long-term effects are more likely to happen.…
