Inquiry: What are the psychological effects of negative comments and remarks on young children and how do these comments effect the rest of their lives?
When people look back on their childhood
and sure there are good memories, but there's always some memories that hurt
and seem to make your heart ache just thinking about them. Perhaps swimming
during the summertime, neighborhood’s hide-and-seek games, and tree houses come
to mind. However, that was not the case for some. People can be tormented and
haunted by what happened to them as a child, for the rest of their lives. What
triggers that kind of psychological affects with such a high emotional string
attached? Why do certain things said by certain people remain in the back of
our minds for so long?
As I began to think of what would interest
me, for some reason, this always came back to me. It’s something very common
and nearly everyone can relate. The feeling of shame and neglect seems to stick
with us closer than those comments of praise and recognition.
When I was younger, I never really had any
experiences where I was verbally abused. I can’t really relate on that level,
yet it was going on all around me. For some reason, you always remember the bed
situations over the good in greater affect.
I feel like there are many different
resources available on the internet and in newspaper articles. I know that
there are documentaries available on similar situations that could help me
build to an argument.
A few websites that I have found so far…
