Hi everybody, I am new to this site. I am using my own hand to write about what Emotional and Physical abuse through the eyes of a teenager.
What Is Emotional And Physical Abuse?
First of all let’s talk about Emotional abuse.
Emotional abuse is where someone is always saying things to you that are along the lines of name calling, teasing, and saying things that hurt you.
The person who is abusing you in this way is trying to control you in some way, almost like training a dog to do certain things. They think if they make you do this or that you will become ‘better’ in their eyes and won’t stop. Even if you tell them that what they are doing is wrong they will not comply or listen. They may start arguing with you when you tell them or they can take a complete turn and say they are sorry. You need to watch this because in most cases they will use this excuse over and over. If they continue multiple times it means that they will most likely NOT change.
Being in a relationship with anybody that you are scared of because you think you’re gonna get in trouble or yelled at for the tiniest little mistake you are not in a good relationship.
Being in a relationship where you are scared of the person whether it is your sibling, parent, friend, loved one and strangers should NEVER happen.
Now let’s go over Physical abuse.
Physical abuse is where someone gets their point through to you by hurting you physically.
ANYBODY who hits you in anyway with no reason over an argument and does not apologize is NOT acceptable.
A person who thinks using pain to tell you something isn’t okay, they are a dangerous person and you need to do your best to get away from them immediately.
Some people think that hurting you would be the best way to show you, you’ve done something wrong which is NOT right.
Other people will hurt people for fun because they like to see others suffer, and then there’s people who have personal issues or a disability that they don’t know about or don’t know how to control like multiple personality disorder.
Yes you may feel very guilty for leaving them, ignoring them or turning them in but, your main priority is YOUR safety and no one else’s
If you are in a relationship where any of this is present you need to seek out help and talk to someone. If your not sure who to go to here are some suggestions:
- If you are a student in school and it’s your family\friends you can go to the principal or a teacher you trust. If it’s not a family member you can ALWAYS talk to your parents.
- People who are not in school there are a bunch of numbers and places out there for you to call and go to, never be scared to text or call a number that is there to help. Yes it may scare you to pieces at first but once you’re talking to someone don’t shy away or lie. Remember that they are there to HELP you.
- If you are being abused physically you can go to the police and they will help you and ensure YOUR safety.
