A number of students in high school are abused by parents or family members. Abuse, in my opinion, is the most violent and immoral thing in the world which has kids afraid to leave school.

  “The worst part of my day, the thing I dread, is to have to go home to them,” said an abuse victim who will remain anonymous.

  Being abused or knowing someone who is abused is the worst thing to think about; in fact, it consumes a lot of your time thinking about it. Having this happen causes the world to become a bad place. How can anyone ever look at their child and for whatever reason, hit them? There is no valid reason for anyone to ever injure their child. These are the worst types of people in my opinion.

  It’s like watching Criminal Minds, because you wonder how someone could be that messed up. That’s what comes to mind when you hear that someone is being abused. I can’t even think about anything a child could do for their parent to HURT them…nothing comes to mind. Teens are sometimes rebellious and crazy but there is no reason to ever hit your child.

  A story of an undisclosed person comes to mind. This child’s parents make them buy their own clothes, and buy all their own food. They even charge him/her to eat dinner with the rest of the family at the dinner table. And still, after all that, the child is continuously abused for the simplest things ever, like having their shoes on the ground. The case is so bad that they have to buy their own mattress otherwise they are not provided a place to sleep.

  Another account that comes to mind of this family is getting a fight with their parents causing them to shout. Things are then said and stuff is thrown. More prominently, how could you sit there and watch your child get abused by your partner and do absolutely nothing about it? I can’t even stand the thought of it. People like this deserve to be imprisoned.

  But abuse victims must also realize that they don’t need to go through all this. If you find yourself in this position, then you can go to your school and tell an adult, they will get you to a better place. They will get you to a safer place where you can sleep and not be afraid of what will come or what could happen to you. You could live with your other family or if not that, then you could even go to a family home just to get away, to escape. There’s no reason in the world for anyone to have to go through this. You CAN get help; all you have to do is extend your hand
