There is one thing that I have chosen, because it seems to be something that happens all over the world, and it is child abuse. Also, there are many types of child abuse, but the main types are sexual abuse, psychological and emotional abuse, neglect, and physical abuse. Disguised compliance is also an issue. This is where parents seem cooperative to try to hide their abuse. First off, let’s talk about psychological and emotional abuse. This type of abuse is a very scary and horrible type of abuse, because it is breaking you down from the inside and makes you feel unsafe or depressed on the inside. Also, you might not notice, so if you feel sad or depressed, talk to a trusted person. Second, let’s chat about neglect. This type of abuse is when the parent is unable to give their child basic needs, like food, or the parent might just take the food for themself. Also, in neglect, the parent might not give the child emotional support either. This is abuse you might not notice, but if someone seems off to you, then see if they want to talk about it with you or a trusted adult.
