traumatic experience may dramatically change a person's attitude towards life and
the world and, thus, the way this person is acting. It impacts their overall attitude
towards their peers, family, and friends which directly impacts their self as well. This

Survivors may readily rely on family, friends, or other social supports—or they may
avoid support, either because they think no one will be understanding or reliable, or

Wang’eri (2014), that the most effective coping strategies and coping mechanisms of
a student were positive coping strategies including attempting to solve the problem,
striving to forget the problem existed, seeking help from others, and seeking to avoid
