| Violence
and abuse in our homes and communities are serious problems.
Abuse can be physical, when someone hurts your body.
It can also be verbal or emotional—threats and
cruel talk are abuse, too. No one, not even a family
member, has the right to be violent or abusive. It’s
against the law. Don’t keep it a secret. Talk
to someone you trust and get help.
Get help, too, if you are the one who is violent or
abusive. Change is possible, but you can’t do
it alone. Act now, before you ruin someone else’s
life and your own. |
