Sexual abuse and adolescent maladjustment: differences between male and female victims
Article Abstract:
Comparison was made between the emotional and behavioral problems as well as suicidal tendencies in male and female adolescents with history of sexual abuse with those in a control group without any history of sexual abuse. Analysis of the comparison shows that sexually abused boys and girls revealed more emotional and behavioral problems and suicidality than those who were not sexually abused. The differences in emotional and behavioral problems, and suicidal thoughts and behavior, as well as the issue of gender differences in relation to sexual abuse were also identified.

Hard drugs indicated the highest incidence of suicidal behavior. Multiple risk conditions were practically in an increasing linear relation to the percentage of suicide attempts.
