Research Project #1: Abuse

SIRs
In this article, they mainly talk about how if your parent had been abused you have a  higher chance of also being abused or neglected.  In 2007 1,200 kids had reported being abused or neglected, and 8 kids had died. The kids get trauma from it, and it is then hard to live their life. There was also a report to the government that there had been a lot of abuse but most of all sexual abuse from parents to their kids. It was said that most parents would abuse their kids if they were drunk or had a overdose of drugs.

Abuse Examples
In this article there is a girl explaining what her dad does to her. He shoves her and calls her name. He mostly does it when he is drunk.
It says that there are 4 types of abuse.
Physical Abuse, you can usually tell on a kid if he gets physically abused because there will usually be scares or bruises on him or her. The actions that may cause it is kicks, punches, biting, choking, pinching, shaking and more.
Another one is Sexual Abuse, its when there is any type of physical contact between an adult and anyone younger than 18. If it is between an adult to another adult it is called incest.
Emotional Abuse, is an abuse that is very hard to tell. It is when someone is overally critizes a person, to the point where they have little or no self esteem.
Neglect, is when the parent isn'g giving adequate care to a chile. Not buying the food they need, water, clothes, or medical care. When the parent also gives their chid little to no attention. Neglect doesn't mean though not giving their chile what they want, for example a t/v or phone.

Parent to parent or child to child isn't the only way to abuse someone. Abuse is also bullying, racist jokes, religion, abilities, gender, or sexual orientaion.
Realizing abuse can be hard for some kids, because if they grew up with being abused they think it's a regular lifestyle and they know what to expect. So thats what causes them to abuse their child when they grow up because they think it's right.
There is no single reason for abusion. people might think it is their fault or they deserved it but it is never that case. You never deserve to be abused. Reasons why you might be being abusive is that if your parents abuse you, you learn from that trait, or if you are filled with a lot of anger, the only way to get it out is to be abusive to other people.
Everyone can learn how to stop to be abusive. It just might take sometime.
