Teen Rape The topic that I’m doing is teen rape. The reason way I’m doing this topic is because there are girls who get rape every day, and sometimes are even being raped by some family members. Some people don’t talk about it or even bring it up but I think that this is something that goes on everyday in the world and it needs to be addressed. There are so many young girls who get raped and even end up getting pregnant form it as well. That’s is also a reason to way it is a lot of high rates for teen preganceny as well. It’s not because they are just having sex, but it’s beacause they are getting raped and don’t talk about it.

I also won’t to talk about the risk factors that go along with this topic as well. Part of the reason why there are so many young women dying of Aids and other STD’s, id because of them being raped. So not all of the people who have Aids or a STD got it from drug use of unprotected sex. Also I will be going to college in the summer, and there are a lot of things that goes on such as date rape. So I to know how I can keep myself safe from it also I won’t to be able to warn others as well.

Teens 16 to 19 were three and one-half times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault. (National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, 1996.)
 * Statistics on Rape in Teen: **

-According to the Justice Department, one in two rape victims is under age 18; one in six is under age 12. [Child Rape Victims, 1992. U.S. Department of Justice.]

-While 9 out of 10 rape victims are women, men and boys are also victimized by this crime. In 1995, 32,130 males age 12 and older were victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault. [National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, 1996.]


 * In 2004, there were about 210,000 rapes, attempted rapes, and sexual assaults in the U.S. (2)
 * About 44% of rape victims are under age 18 (3)
 * An estimated 80 percent to 92 percent of all teen rape victims know their attackers. (4)

To conclued I have learned a lot about this topic. I have more knowleadge about rape then I ever had before. That there are all different kinds of rapes such as stranger rape, acquaintance rape, gang rape, and martial rape. The most common kinds of rapes are stranger and gang rape. Victims of crimes often suffer from a host of emotional reactions. Research indicates that the psychological effects of being deliberately violated or injured generally are worse than physical injuries and financial losses. Men and boys are also victimized by this crime. There are also two types of hidden sexual assaults: 
 * The victim acknowledges to herself and perhaps also to others that she has been raped, but refuses to press charges for different reasons.
 * The situation matches the legal definition of rape, but the victim, for different reasons, does not see it as such.
