Contrary to common legend, most people who have actually been abused have memories of it. The "repressed memory" idea has largely been discredited as false "memories" brought about by poorly-thought out questioning.

If you have concerns about vague memories when you were a child, etc., be sure to find a therapist who specializes in childhood trauma to help you explore them. People have gone to prison over the false memory issue, so you want to be sure that your recollections are accurate, for your own sake and the sake of the other party as well.

  • If you only suspect childhood abuse it still doesn't mean you weren't abused, but to be sure you need psychological counseling to bring forth any past memories you have to resolve this problem.

Mayella Ewell character analysis?

Bob Ewell’s 19-year-old daughter. She’s described as thick and used to hard labor and cultivates bright red geraniums in the family’s yard. and Scout can tell that though Mayella tries to keep clean, she’s regularly unsuccessful. The oldest child in her family, it falls to her to care for the younger children. She accuses Tom Robinson of beating and sexually abusing her, though Atticus, through his questioning of her and of Robinson, shows that Mayella was unloved, abused, starved for attention. It’s clear that she was actually beaten by her father when he caught her forcibly touching Robinson and was not sexually abused at all—though it’s heavily implied that Mr. Ewell has, in fact, sexually abused Mayella in the past. Though Mayella comes close to admitting that Mr. Ewell beats her when he drinks, she refuses to change her testimony and admit that she accused Robinson of sexual abuse, so that she can escape the fact that she broke an important social code as a white woman tempting a black man.

Is it normal for my girlfriend to be begging me for sex all the time we're 15 years old?

It really depends on her past. If she was sexually abused as a kid, then yes it would be. Since she "needs" to be sexual to love somebody but she should go into counceling or something. If she wasn't abused, then yes it still is cause her hormones are acting up and everything I guess. Girls don't' typically want sex constantly. I'm not positive though.

I believe it's about a girl, Kristy, and how she was sexually abused. Dexter Holland the lead singer is singing about why he didn't help Kristy when he had the chance and also how he hates himself for it now. "Though the marks on your dress, Had been neatly repressed. I knew that something was wrong. And I should of spoke out and I'm so sorry now. I didn't know, cause we were so young." It's a very sad story. He asks if she is doing ok now that her innocence was taken away from her at such a young age. Hope this helps!
