SEXUAL ASSAULT

-
It's the month of sexual assault awareness. In the spirit of the awareness, let's talk about rape. 
When I say there's a rape case, what comes to the minds of most people is that the victim is a girl. Girls are more fragile after all so it's easier for them to be victims of a rape case. Let's bring to light the fact that boys can be raped too. These cases are a bit rare, but they do happen. I know you must be wondering how can a guy be raped. Let's ask ourselves, what is rape. 
Rape according to Merriam Webster dictionary, is an unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception. Any sexual activity against a person's will is called rape. In male cases, it occurs mostly with underaged boys, where they are forced to have sexual contact with an older person. 
Rape generally has adverse effects on the victim, be it a boy or a girl. Rape may cause satyriasis in men or nymphomania in women. Asides that, it affects the mental health of the person, causes trauma and lots more. 
Rape is just one of the many types of sexual assault. Sexual assault  involves illegal sexual contact (that usually involves force) upon a person without his or her consent. So if a person touches you sexually, without your consent, then it is sexual assault. You should know that you have every right to take action. The number of rapists roaming free in the society is alarming and we all should do what we can to stop it.

INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Inferiority complex is one of the major causes of depression. Inferiority feelings are complex emotions that usually indicate perceived weakness and helplessness. Some call it inferiority complex, others call it low self esteem. One telltale sign of inferiority complex is constantly comparing yourself to others. Another is believing you are not good enough. Some of you have been spending your time comparing yourselves to people, seeing them do things you want to achieve, yet not achieving those things because you feel you're not good enough or you don't have the potential. You might not have known but that's inferiority complex. Inferiority stops you from moving forward. It makes you stagnant. Chances are that you've experienced self- doubt and uncertainty at some point, it's totally okay. It's normal to struggle with feelings of inadequacy every now and again but when that feeling becomes a crippling fear of not matching up to others, it could signa...
