Helping Mental Health - One Edit at a Time
I’m a big lover of psychology (having taken it in university as part of my Criminology degree, along with various psychology diplomas and certificates later on - thanks Covid pandemic and online learning!), as I’m a lifelong learner.

Empathy
Growing up I always felt different, awkward, and distant. Often times my mother caught me daydreaming because this world was too much for me. I grew up with seven siblings, all of which are nothing like me nor I like them. We also had endless family and friends in and out of our home, one would think I would have been happy. Actaully, it was quite the opposite. Feeling overwhelmed or having mood swings were a problem. My family couldn't understand my behavior, and I never discussed it with anyone so I just dismissed the signs.

Sexual Assault in the Early Modern Period
While rape is a growing topic in present society, it is not a new problem. Rape has been a serious crime for centuries, though the punishment, definition, and general attitude surrounding it has changed over the years. The definition of rape changed multiple times from the 17th to the 19th centuries alone. Until 1650, rape was seen as the theft or assault on a man’s property. It was also an ambiguous term that could have meant either sexual assault or kidnapping, keeping in line with the previous definition. As society and the legal system evolved, so did the definition, with it being seen as a crime against a man’s possession(s) and instead as a crime against the woman who had been assaulted. While this was an improvement, that did not mean there were not any difficulties relating to rape accusations and trials. This paper will be discussing the topic of rape and sexual assault in the early modern period, focusing on the impact of attitudes surrounding both male and female sexuality, children and rape during this period, as well as examining trial reports from rape cases involving both children and adults.
