A Study On The Implications Of Verbal Harassment

To Self-Esteem Of The Shs Students

In AMA Computer Collage Caloocan

 CHAPTER 1

Introduction:

Abuse is a commonplace event in modern times, taking on many different forms,

including physical, sexual, emotional, and verbal abuse, occurring in many different

contexts, including the home (domestic violence, spouse rape, incest), the workplace

(sexual harassment), and in institutional (elder abuse, bullying) and religious and

community (hate crime) settings. It touches victims across the lifespan from children

through elders.

Abuse is a serious social and cultural problem affecting everyone whether as a

victim of abuse, a perpetrator, a friend or confidant of an abused person looking for

ways to be helpful, or simply as someone who is angered by injustice and wants to work

for positive change. Victims of abuse often find themselves dealing with serious

psychological and physical consequences of having been abused. There are various

forms of counseling, psychotherapy, medical and self-help resources available for

people who have been abused and want assistance and support for managing

problems and issues they have developed as a result of being abused Such post-abuse

issues are sometimes called 'abuse sequela' by health professionals. While no therapy

is capable of erasing the effects of abuse, such resources can provide real and

meaningful assistance in helping to minimize the negative effects of abuse. Helpful

abuse-related resources can be found throughout this document, in the appendix of

abuse-related resources provided at the end of this document, and in the lists of other

(non-document) resources collected within this abuse topic center. Some people aren't

sure if they are being or have been abused. They may know that they have been

harmed, but they may think that they deserved that harm, for instance, or perhaps think

instead that some degree of harm is acceptable or reasonable, or just inevitable.

Though it is not possible for us to give you a definite answer to any questions you may

have about what is abuse and what is not abuse, consider that people who haven't been

abused don't tend to spend much time wondering whether they have been abused,

while a many people who have been abused (or are being abused) do wonder about it.

If you are upset enough to wonder about it, it is likely (although not definite) that you

have been abused.

We'll explore the definition of abuse in greater detail later in this document.
Statement of the Problem:

1.Demographic Profile

a. Age

b. Gender

2.What are the effects of verbal harrasment to the self-esteem of the respondents.

3. Is there a significant relationship between verbal harrasment and self-esteem of shs

students?

Hypothesis:

Verbal harrasment has effects to the self-esteem of the students. The study will

clearly state the cause and effects of the verbal harrasment not only to the self-esteem

of the students but also to its psychological behavior.

Significance of the Study:

The study will show us the significance of verbal harrasment to the self-esteem of

a student as well as its significance to the society. A good and normal student can learn
effectively if he or she boost his or her self-esteem. Therefore we will study about its

significance to the self-esteem of the students.
