social networking sites
Why do young people use social Networking Sites to disclose abuse/assault rather than speaking to someone?

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.
