There is enough evidence that the family support, especially from the parents, prevents the symptomatology in adolescents who have suffered sexual abuse. However, the study of the role by the peer support has not been sufficiently investigated. The few studies in this field have given contradictory results. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship of family support and peer support with depressive, anxious and posttraumatic stress symptoms in victims of sexual abuse. The participants were 93 female adolescents (ages 12 to 17). The participants completed scales to assess symptoms and to assess their perception of social support. The results of multiple regression analysis show that the perception of support from family is inversely associated with all three types of symptoms. However, the perception of peer support is only inversely associated with depressive symptoms. These results show that the family remains the main protective agent, even in adolescence. The peer group possess fewer protection resources, for this reason its role would be more focused on distraction.
