These unusual differences can also have many effects on children's academic performance. Children who are sexually abused tend to be more aggressive and very agitated. This could lead to disruptive outbursts during class, aggression toward other students, or easy frustration when dealing with light or difficult tasks. Sexual abusers degrade their victims and make them feel like worthless animals. This can cause a great loss of self-esteem in children and cause them to feel antisocial. Abused children may also be clingy toward other adults or peers; I'm looking for someone to look up to them as human beings and give them the love and support that their abuser is stealing from them. These effects can create many huge obstacles in education. Without self-esteem and pride, students may fail to meet program requirements, simply because they have no pride or value ethics. Being antisocial will cause children to feel inferior to their peers. They may have difficulty making new friends or keeping friends and have “socially awkward” status. Abused children are also known to have substance abuse and drug problems. “In addition to ruining childhood, early maltreatment is associated with drug and alcohol problems and also increases the risk of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship difficulties and negative self-image ( Stewart, 2014). With all of these factors and alcohol and drugs in a student's life, they will focus more on their drugs and less on their education. Additionally, most students who abuse drugs eventually drop out of school.
