Finding Academic Sources

Finding sources to answer the questions on my topic took a lot of patience. I searched for my sources in my University’s library link. At times it was so much to soak in I just had to quit for a while, and then continue my search. To find what I needed and wanted for my topic I entered “long-term and short-term consequences of child abuse” and quickly thousands of results popped out. Luckily, there are ways to narrow down those results, such as setting how old I want my sources to be. All my sources take different approaches. Some talked about the psychological consequences of child abuse, some were very specific as to what kind of child abuse brings what kind of consequences, and others about the behavioral consequences of child abuse. Each of those different perspectives are important for my research and so I saved them. Another place I found some sources was at my University’s library. My tutor and I took some time to find some trade journals and books about my topic. We walked around for a while and got some help. We looked in some journals, but we weren't successful. We ran out of time and ended our search with only online sources. By looking at these sources I noticed how child abuse has been an issue for many years and about the incredible consequences there are from child abuse. There are some victims that end up with bad consequences and not living a happy life and then there’s those who end up having a good life and just leaving their child abuse in the past.
