Why do young people feel able to use social networking sites to disclose abuse/ assault or seek advice rather than speaking to someone face to face?
I am a student researching disclosures of sexual assault on social networking sites. To help my research I would really like to understand what are the impacts (positive & negative) of disclosing sexual assault or abuse on social network sites in particular for young people.
I think it’s because the person feels really embarrassed and scared to tell someone just in case they pay a certain consequence for revealing it. However, I know not telling someone about the problem would result in issues as it can be hard to resolve the problem alone. It can also lead to depresssion and anxiety if the person keeps the issue to himself, and who knows what that depression can lead to as it does several thing. As for telling someone, it is more helpful. I know when you talk to someone, it makes you feel good and much better, and through that, you will receive lots of support and ways to solve the issue that will ease your situation, whether it s just talking to a friend, parents, or going to counseling. It will no doubt relieve the fear and anxiety.

because it is easier to type something on the internet and not have to look anyone in the eye.

I think it”s primarily because of the anonymity. It could be hard to talk face to face about serious problems like these. Even worse if word gets out that you got assaulted!
Not much else I can say on the subject.

positives: the victim isn”t being psychically hurt, only verbally.
negatives: everyone can see it
people do it because they are either too scared to do it in person or they do it both in person or online.

Victims of abusers often feel guilt or shame and don”t want to get their abusers in trouble. Some are fearful and can not get away from their abusers long enough to meet with people. Leaving the abusive relationship is the most dangerous part, this is where most murder/suicides occur in domestic violence. Some are in abusive relationships where they have no control over finances and therefor lack resources to go to help face to face. Many reasons why finding help on line might be a safer and more efficient way to access resources.

plenty of reasons. for one, theres more time for the person to transfer their enmity and hate to the other person as they type, so its more affront and distasting for their satisfaction. two, they won”t feel as threatened or intimidated as opposed to a face to face argument which may lead to violence. three, when its a face to face situation, the person can lose his or her words over the rush and increase of blood pressure in their body to their brain and make them look like a total idiot as their lost for words. and four, youths nowadays are just more compelled to the internet in the hopes of distracting themselves from their pathetic emptiness and meaningless consumer driven minds. their all cowards its depressing.

social sites and over all internet communication provides a great shelter if your words fire back on you. You just log off.
