1. My inquiry Question:

What are the psychological effects of child abuse on young adults pursuing a life through

college?

2. What I expect to learn:

I want to learn how to get over the issues of it. Hopefully finding the effects and then

evaluating my life, I would find a way to move on. The thing is I have accepted it and physically

moved on. Somehow emotionally and psychologically I still feel caught up in it. For a while I

used to blame myself. If I just listened and stayed out of trouble I thought everything will be

fine. I still live to this philosophy till this day. I never really took the time out to address it,

because I was too busy trying to be normal.

3. Prior knowledge:
When it comes to this project I bring personal experience. I do not know what the effects

are at all. However, recently I have been pressured into expressing my feelings but something is

holding me back. Before developing working knowledge on the topic I was ignoring it. Weve

all learned that child abuse is bad and what we should do if we ever experience it in health class.
However, the rules do not really apply when you experience it. People make it seem like you

must walk on egg shells around the victims but that makes it even worse.
