General appearance: The guy looks older than his years because of his gaze and facial expression. He feels tired and internally closed. From the outside he may seem like a "problematic teenager", but in reality he is sensitive, vulnerable and confused after experiencing violence.

Personality traits: Closed and silent - after the attack he stopped sharing his thoughts with his family, avoids long conversations, often answers briefly. Vulnerable - although he tries to appear strong and indifferent, he easily withdraws into himself after harsh words or pressure. Anxious - he may have panic attacks, he avoids crowds or unfamiliar men, he often looks around. Mistrustful - even towards his parents. Although he understands that they are on his side, emotionally he still feels a barrier. Self-critical - tends to blame himself for what happened, considers himself dirty after the incident Sarcastic/ironic - sometimes masks the pain with jokes or harshness. This is his shield. Loyal at heart – despite his silence and coldness, he actually loves his family and needs their warmth.

Personality: Vulnerable optimist – deep down he wants to believe that life can get better, but for now fear is stronger than hope. Need for control – after the trauma he hates the feeling of helplessness, so he tries to keep everything under control: his space, personal boundaries, even the little things. Ambivalence – on the one hand he reaches out to his parents because he needs support, on the other – he pushes them away because he is afraid to show weakness. Rebellious spirit – sometimes protests against any advice or attempts to “teach him how to live” because it hurts his pride. Quiet tenderness – can show care with small actions: for example, leaving a note, taking care of someone unnoticed.

Behavior after the incident: Became more withdrawn, hardly leaves his room. Avoids direct conversations about the attack. May react sharply to touches or raised tone. Often does not sleep at night, sometimes has nightmares. Learns to hide pain, but emotionally "breaks out" in the form of anger or irritation.
