What is Abuse? Growing up is probably one of the hardest tasks we have to go through in life (as well as bad hair days ;). But on a serious note some kids have a much harder task to put up with when growing up, I’m talking about abuse! Abuse is a world that is used to describe many types of suffering that someone is going through. - Neglect is when parents or others who are meant to be looking after them are not doing the job they are meant to. The Kids often are not feed food they should. They are not provided with essential necessitates like warmth, shelter, and clothing. They probably don’t receive any form of protection and above all care.
- Emotional abuse is where the kids never receive any love or attention such as approval and acceptance. They are always been shouted at sworn at and constantly are criticised. Kids that are suffering emotional abuse often feel that they are a reject and are not wanted by the people who mean most to them.
- Physical abuse often is linked to emotional and sexual. This is where the kid is repeatedly suffering injuries brought on by the parents or other people. Hitting, kicking, and beating with objects, throwing and shaking cause these injuries. Sadly sometimes some kids our age end up in much pain, bruising, and cuts, broken bones and sometimes death.
- Sexual abuse is the last of the main four categories. When children are forced or persuaded into sexual acts or situations by others. Kids might be forced to look at types of pornography, or they may have to put up with sexual references or comments. Many Some are forced to have sex against their will and be touched.
Children are an easy target of abuse because it is thought they don’t have a voice and no one would believe them. That may have been the case when our head teachers were actually once our age, but today, kids voices are heard in the same way adults are if not more.
Any form of abuse is wrong and the only way to stop it is to tell someone! Friends Friends... Ultimate Friendships Article Ultimate Friendships Article 2 Friendships...A Survival Guide Friendship Emergency! - What Can I do? Special Friends My Best Friend
