Answers:
ok honestly it's really hard to overcome that situation, and lets face it being arounf friends won't help much, because show me the kind of friends that will stick till he feels ok, who will hang around him no matter how he thinks, 1 out of 30 will do that, he needs professional help first then needs to be around extremely loving people who will support him and he has to feel comfortable talking it through with someone to start being social, these fantasies are normal for rape victims
just stick with him and offer unconditional support only if u really mean itWww@Answer-Health@Com

you get the help you can, and become the best you can!. Being perfectly mentally and physically healthy would be nice, but for most of us, we just try to be our best considering our issues and pasts!.

Yes he has a chance to be whole, but even a person who is not whole can have a decent life!.

Many of us struggle every day!. Some are better than others!.

Sometimes the damage is so great, a person cannot oversome it!.

Pray for the child and do what you can to see he gets as much help as he can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think it's really hard for him to be healthy again!.but there's always a way to help him!.let him see psychologist they'll help him!.let him talk about all his childhood experience so that the burden in his heart'll be lighter!.a kid who has been sexually abuse will afraid of everything and fell like this world didn't have any hope!.caring and love from his family(other than his dad) and friends will definitely help him!.i hope the boy wil be ok!.all the best for him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your friend needs intensive therapy and treatment!. There is no way to know if he can recover from what has happened to him and not eventually turn his experiences on others (his current problems and fantasies are not a good sign)!. I would give his changes of any kind of normal life at maybe ten percent!. Remember though, I am not an expert, just a lady on answers with a bit of experience with PTSD, but nothing along this scale of abuse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to be patient and a good friend to him and try to get him to the doctors for a referal onto cmht to talk about these issues and you need to be supportive of himWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is a good start he has told you about this so young!. With supportive friends, and good counselling and therapy, he can get rid of most of the harmful reactions he seems to be having!. Get him to talk to a local abuse helpline, who are the best at recommending a suitable counsellor or self-help group!.
Abused people who bottle it up and don't get help very often turn into abusers themselves, unfortunately!. The biggest pain of abuse is not physical, but the feeling of helplessness, of being used as an object!. They will try to recreate the same conditions but this time in a way that THEY are in control!.
This applies to physical and mental abuse as well, not only sexual!. Many people have suffered some, to varying degrees, and manage to become at least outwardly "normal" social beings, even if they still get nightmares sometimes!. The ones who have had help do better, and the ones who got it younger do better than those who left it until later in life!.
So get him into counselling as soon as you can!. Self-help or support groups are also excellent, as everyone can learn from strategies that worked for the others!.
If he's afraid to call, you can make the inquiries and get the appointment on his behalf, and go with him for moral support (you'll have to wait outside)!.

God bless you both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
