There are many different ways for a trauma to affect a person’s life. One of the most prominent means is through childhood experience. Adolescent and teenage years are both essential stages of development; when trauma disrupts this process, the mind and body can be effected more so than that of an adult who has never experienced trauma before. Greenwald’s “Childhood Handbook” provides multiple scenarios regarding the affects a trauma can bestow on a child. The novel “Trauma and Recovery,” by Judith Herman, goes into detail regarding the topic of captivity and how it can intensify the trauma one has endured for a period of time.
Every single thing that happened in a child either good or bad has great effect in their life or future. We called it “Trauma”. However, several individuals don’t understand what they are going through and do not have any clue on how to help them. What is Trauma?

Sometimes survivors of these horrible trauma can some individuals to act out in violence after something triggers them to remember the ordeal. As I was reading the novel The Suspect by L.R. Wright, I was reminded about hearing many different crimes and how it has affected the lives of the families involved. `In the book The Suspect, L.R. Wright starts the novel talking about how the main character George Wilcox killed his ex-brother-in-law Carlyle Burke in an isolated little community of Sechelt, British Columbia.
Investigating an Academic Tug-a-war: PE and GPA Running a stimulating mile, performing relaxing exercises, and spending time with friends all sound pleasant and truly are as components of physical education. Students are given the opportunity to showcase their abilities or improve upon and learn new techniques. Physical education is imperative and provides many benefits to students. This class should continue to be counted in one’s grade point average, despite the recent arguments, proposed by opponents, which greatly lack evidence.
Students with a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) or higher should have the opportunity to go to college in a state run college with free college tuition. If high school students had the opportunity to go to college with their tuition paid, they would be more likely to strive for excellence. Children of parents who graduated from college are more likely to go to college than children of people who only graduated from high school. People with just a college degree earn more over a lifetime than those who only graduated from high school.
Recent studies and statistics have shown that students in middle schools and high schools have gradually gotten more A’s over the past 20 years (Schulten 1). With this number increasing gradually each year, some people worry this can have a negative effect on the students and society. These people do not know though, that an increase in A grades can be a positive sign showing improvement. Rather than thinking of it negatively people should focus on the good reasons and not the bad. Schools are not handing out too many A grades in middle school and high school because it means the students are working hard, the schools are teaching better, and it shows students understand the curriculum.

Adverse childhood experience consistently causes a substantial risk to well-being, psychological, physical, emotional, behavioral, and social development (Anda et al., 1999; Widom 1989). The guided hypothesis is supported by the data, however, there are few tangible actions derived from the studies on RES. What I have discovered is validation as to the need to develop RES and information which strongly suggests it is a concept or trait that can be developed into a skill. However, there are few suggestions on how to do so.
Childhood sexual abuse can have effects on victims long after childhood. There are studies and statistics that show the various ways in which individuals are affected as well as how much of an impact it has on various aspects of life. These various aspects consist of things like, how the individual perceives the event and themselves because of it, which peripheral causes should be considered as well as the individual circumstance and its impact.
