Many men are raped between ages 3-24

Men don't like to feel like they aren't dominant

Don't want to be judged by other people

Thinking running away from it will make it disappear

Hard to trust any and everyone

Thinking it was a misunderstanding

Thinking that person would never hurt them

Get help through check-ups, therapy, and police

• Gave up
• Becomes impatient
• Feels like there's no support

Reporting the perpetrator could take them a long time

Bicanic: Rape-related symptoms in adolescents: short- and long-term outcome

after cognitive behavior group therapy

This article talks about how behavioral group therapy would

benefit victims that are adolescents with any trauma they are dealing with.

It goes over how useful the sessions for the therapy can be for the victims

if they continuously go to the follow-up appointments. In this article the

amount of data overpowered the content of what the article was mainly

about. I also feel as though the author kept jumping from topic to topic.

The information was also very repetitive with how if they skip one session

or any follow-up appointment then it can have an impact on the progress of

them healing.The author reports a great amount of evidence that was

conducted in their study. Something I can say is that the healing

process can be a struggle for many and it is hard, especially for adolescents

to deal with the struggle of readjusting to life after dealing with a

traumatic event which could be a reason why they didn't come back to the

therapy. This article was very useful because it opened up the idea that

the healing process can be very overwhelming especially for victims that

are younger. Along the way they will lose hope or become stressed or

depressed or all of the above plus more.

Darnell,Doyanne: Factors Associated With Follow-Up Attendance Among Rape

Victims Seen in Acute Medical Care

In this article it talks about the importance or the follow up

appointments for rape victims and how it would benefit them if they

attended. It isn't new news that many don't seek help because they are

scared to be judged and things of that nature but the data shown in this

article shows that if the victims went to seek further help then it would

help with the healing process. I think the author stands strong about

getting help does reduce the amount or depression and stress piled on by

not talking about what happened and I agree. It isn't good to keep their

feeling caged up but at the same time they have so many trust issues and

for many it can be very overwhelming to talk about over and over. Some may

argue saying that the information isn't that recent but many things are

still similar since them. This helped with my project because it shows the

struggle victims have seeking help.

In this article it shows a example of the struggles a rape

victim can face as they go one with life without getting help right away.

The author is opening up to a fan that he denied being a victim of rape to.

That was significant for the point of others trying to find a voice through

others because they are uncomfortable to speak out on what happened but

some spoke out to something similar to what they experienced. Some may say

" well how can we determine whether other people go through similar things

if the article is the experience of just one person?" This story was just a

glimpse of the standpoint of a man undergoing rape trauma so it give

researchers an idea on how other men might deal with their trauma. By

telling his experience it made it able for people that were able to relate

to know that they weren't alone and it is okay to get help. This was very

useful for my project because it shows how a man may deal with his trauma

and it showed me many differences between men dealing with trauma and women

dealing with trauma.

Jones, Abigail: Speaking Of The Unspeakable

This article talks about the experience of a woman named

Michelle Knight who was held captive for 11 years and how she is able to

speak on the traumatic event. This is significant because it is really

hard for victims to talk about what happened to them and it is especially

hard for them to seek help but this was an example of a victim that was

willing to share her experience. There was more of her telling her story

than her telling how she was managing after the rape. Although it was more

story telling, Knight talked about how she was the only one out of all the

girls to speak in the courtroom with her and it goes to show that after

rape many victims don't let the rape define or take over them. Nor do they

let it restrict them from opportunities. I have also seen how Knight wanted her

rapist to pay for what happened to her and he didn't pay the same amount of

suffering she did. This goes to show that some victims want revenge for the

time they can no longer get back. This article was very useful for my

project because it shows me a person who was willing to get help as soon as

she was free.

Koestner, Katie: How I convinced the world you can be raped by your

date

This article talks about someones experience with rape and how she

was after. This was an important story because it shows how Koestner has no

support nor did anyone believe that she was raped not even other women.

This is why many people fear telling people what happened to them because

they are scared to be judged by people. There was also the realization that

people can be raped by someone that they knew. So with that being said,

this makes it hard for the victim to trust anyone because they couldn't

even trust the one person they knew. For some victims that are comfortable

talking about what happened and they use that platform to be a voice for

those who aren't comfortable talking about what happened to them. This was

useful for my project because it is another example of someone who's didn't let

their trauma take control of them.

Oct. 2019. Ro, Christine: Why most rape victims never acknowledge what

happened

This article talks about the things victims do when trying to

get over their trauma. Many victims blame themselves over and over and it is

really hard to convince them that it was not their fault. Also how many

victims feel disconnected from their body after they were raped. It is even

interesting how some victims even marry their rapist. It was said that some

victims marry their rapist to regain control over their life. That could

also mean they don't know how they would live without living with their

rapist because they been there for so long.That or they had no choice but

to marry them, but by marrying their rapist then it is not considered as

rape anymore. Victims also face PTSD symptoms that never leave but they are

unwilling to get help with it. This article was useful for my project.
