They can be both. Sometimes good boys in scary stories are the heroes. They might be brave enough to face the scary monsters or situations, using their wits and courage to save the day.
Often, it depends on the nature of the story. If it's a story about self - discovery and growth, the good boy is likely to be the hero. But if the story is more about the power of evil and the vulnerability of the good, then the good boy may end up as the victim. It also has to do with the values the author wants to convey through the story.
Good boys may also try to act brave at first when hearing scary stories. But as the story progresses and gets scarier, they might start to show signs of uneasiness, like fidgeting or looking around nervously. They might even try to change the topic to something less frightening.
One of the main psychological impacts is a sense of violated trust. A boy may find it difficult to trust other people, especially men. This can lead to isolation as they may withdraw from social interactions. Depression is also common. They might feel worthless and hopeless.

Victims often become very withdrawn. For example, in many stories, they stop participating in social activities they used to enjoy. They may also develop mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Their self - esteem takes a huge hit as they constantly face negative remarks and actions from the bullies.

Society has a big role to play in supporting boy victims of molestation. It should start with destigmatizing the issue. This can be done through public awareness campaigns that highlight that boys can be victims too. Then, there should be accessible medical and psychological care for the victims. This includes providing long - term therapy if needed. Additionally, the community can offer a safe space for the victims to heal, for example, by having community centers where they can engage in positive activities and build self - esteem.
