There is a paucity of qualitative research on children’s and adolescents’ perceptions of their sexual abuse experiences. This paper aims to describe the narrative types and consequences of sexual abuse stories among ten female Filipino children and adolescents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using dialogical narrative analysis. Results show that three narrative types appear in the stories of the survivors. These are the tragic resistance narrative, rescued slave narrative, and heroic saga narrative, and each of these narratives has idiosyncratic effects on the identities, affiliations, disclosure, and adjustment processes of the participants. The results show how symbolic cultural structures can have far-reaching consequences on sexually abused children and adolescents.

关于儿童和青少年对其性虐待经历的看法的定性研究很少。本文旨在描述十名菲律宾女性儿童和青少年性虐待故事的叙事类型和后果。通过半结构化访谈收集数据，并使用对话叙事分析进行分析。结果表明，幸存者的故事中出现了三种叙事类型。这些是悲剧性的抵抗叙事、被拯救的奴隶叙事和英雄传奇叙事，每种叙事都对参与者的身份、归属、披露和调整过程产生特殊的影响。结果表明，象征性文化结构如何对遭受性虐待的儿童和青少年产生深远的影响。
