Victim blaming can make the effects of victimization much worse and add new effects
Examples of Victim Blaming:
1. "Well you shouldn't have gotten yourself into that situation in the first place"
2. Asking why they Let it happen
3. Questioning why they did something that led up to the victimization, such as drinking, wearing revealing clothes, etc.
4. Stating they should have done something differently, like not accepting a ride from someone they barely know
