The fact is, sexual abuse can (and does) happen
anywhere and nearly always, when sexual abuse happens, especially
in childhood, one of the traumatic and long-term results is
fear.
For the purpose of your essay, it might be helpful
for you to expand on this idea (sexual abuse happening at "sleepovers") by looking up
the percentage of abuse cases which happen in the home of someone else, while a child is
spending the night. Looking at the big picture of the essay, and without knowing your
exact topic (whether it is abuse in general, or specifically,
sexual abuse), I encourage you to provide real examples, either
from news stories or other published personal accounts, of each of
your subtopics and main ideas. Examples will enhance what could otherwise become
list-like facts and figures, and make your entire essay more informational as well as
more interesting.
EXAMPLE: Using this idea that sexual
abuse can happen outside the victim's home and that it often results in fear, perhaps
you can find someone who has experienced this situation and has been written (and
published) about. A personal quote or even a statement from a reputable source would
turn this generality into something concrete.
