Adolescent Trauma

According to a study, five million American children experience a traumatic event every year. 25 percent of children will have been affected by some form of sexual violence by the age of 18. Experts estimate 65 percent of physical attacks and 86 percent of sexual attacks on teens are not reported. The shame that adolescents feel who suffer from trauma makes it difficult for them to ask for help and receive treatment. This is an important issue for our time.Adolescents who suffer from untreated trauma are more likely to engage in unsafe behaviors as a teen, according to a study. Promiscuity, running away, and substance abuse are all more common among teens who experienced trauma. PTSD is not uncommon. 20 million children also suffer from the disorder.
