Say you were 13 and you were physically abused, would you be worse in the future or better?

Personally, I think you would be worse because you will constantly have flashbacks and remember the abuse that you went through. Factors that are present in your surroundings also have the ability to make you remember the physical abuse you experienced. And, you will be scarred from the abuse as any abuse ( especially physical) is extremely hard to overcome and requires constant assistance.
