Child Abuse
Why me? What did I do wrong? Why can’t anyone hear me? I want to die, someone please help me.
Who do you think would say that? You wouldn’t think it was a child who is just having a bad day at school, that’s being bullied, or threatened by students in the school.
Well it is a child. A child that is being badly abused. An innocent child that has done nothing wrong. A child that doesn’t understand why it is happening to them. But its not just one child, there are many children all over the world. But guess what? Not only children are being abused, but there is even adults being abused.
You may think that they aren’t asking for help, but they are, they are crying out in the inside and that isn’t healthy. But you can tell by the child’s actions that he/she is being abused.
They become aggressive, violent and many other things, but if you cared enough then you’ll notice those things. And believe it or not but abused children use those very actions as a sign, that’s how they are trying to communicate. They don’t use their voices because they have been threatened, and their scared. You can’t really blame them for that. Their helpless. They don’t know what to do.
All Children deserve a life that is full of freedom. Children shouldn’t have to be scared to speak. Sometimes parents don’t let their children go to school because the teachers get suspicious. And then when the teachers think that there is something wrong the children might tell the truth. And that’s what we want children to do; we don’t want them to be scared.
I believe that parents abuse their children because of their problems. Because of what the parents might have gone through when they were growing up. That’s why adults shouldn’t get pregnant having children, especially when they haven’t worked out their problems. I bet that abusive parents would deny that they beat their children because they haven’t sorted out their problems. They take out their anger on their children. And that’s really sad.
Some parents never wanted children, but they did. So what they do to show their children that they don’t love them is abuse them, neglect them. They do everything that they can to get the message through the child’s head. That they aren’t loved, that no one cares about them. They tell the child or their children that they were a mistake. Imagine how that child or children might feel. It tares them inside. Every child needs to be loved, and cared for. Children look up to their parents for love, help, and guidance. But sadly not a lot of children are able to do that.
Some parents go a little too far with hurting their children. Abused children always listen to their parents in fear of their parents getting mad at them. Some parents go very far with Physical Abuse. Some parents try to burn their children, cut their children too, not just with knives but other sharp things a well. They terrorize their children. Abused Children are so scared of their parents that they listen when their parents tell them to put their hand on a turned on heated stove. Imagine that! That’s an awful thing to do. It’s unbelievable, but some parents have gone that far. Children all over the world are crying out for help. They need our help.
There is no such thing as “A Bad Child”. It’s just that some children make mistakes, but that’s what they are supposed to do, its part of growing up. It’s a life cycle. Just because they have made a small mistake, it doesn’t make them a bad child. But many parents tell their children that so much that they start to believe it.
Many abusive parents dislike their children so much that they stop calling the by their real name. Foe example at school if there is a family meeting, they call their son “He” and their daughter “she”. They don’t call them by their name. Sometimes abusive parents have other abusive friends that don’t do anything that happens to children. The most common name they would use at home or with their friends is “It”. It’s very sad but then again it is the truth.
An abused child has to deal with all this everyday of their life. But we can help them though. We need to encourage them to speak out, and not to be scared. It won’t be easy but we can at least try to do something. Even if it’s a small little thing, it will make difference, a small difference but it’s still called a difference. We can help if we try. Any one can make a difference if only they try, and if you really want to do something really badly and you care for it, you can do it. You can do anything, if you put your mind to it that is.
These kids need us. They are hurting really bad inside. Sometimes they show it, but in an aggressive way, and some don’t know how to. Children all over the world think that we don’t care, that we have better things to do than help some child. Their hope is crashing down, the dreams that they once had are failing. They need help. Even if they told one person, that person can change their life forever. Remember, one person can make a difference, even a small person.
So help them, look out for them. And prove to them that we do want to help them. Bring their hopes and spirits up.
The End
