The Everyday life of a abused child


The Everyday Life of an Abused Child.
            Everyday a child has to go through abuse from either the father or mother. They don’t get the chance to be free, they don’t ever get to see happiness and they don’t get to live the life of a child. A lot of the people in this point in time get to wake up to the almost perfect family. Child Abuse is dark depressing and has no meaning.         

One of the first types of abuse that we have to go through is Neglect.  This is considered to be an easy child abuse case, instead of many others.. Neglect is when the parent does not take care of the child properly. The one thing that Is unsure is when these parents are having the kids do they have a mental setting that they are going to abuse the child or is it something that just progresses over time. Maybe parents do this when they are tired of the child so they do what they can to make the child’s life miserable, However it could also be caused if the parents drink or do drugs. Parents that do this have messed up their lives but that doesn’t mean that they have to mess up the child’s. This problem needs to end.

Second, there is mental abuse. It is when the child is told things. The child is told things and said to them that make them believe that are terrible, not loving themselves and think about suicide.  When a child goes through this they get the thought in their mind that they are bad people and they really aren’t, then it usually worsens at younger ages because that is their mind setting and they tend to act as how they were treated.
            

The third, type of abuse is Physical Abuse. Physical Abuse is when the parent or guardian actually hits and puts their hands on the child. It is beyond sad to ever put your hands on a child. This abuse is the easiest to point out because after the children are abused you can see the marks and bruises. Is this epidemic really being fixed? No, it’s not because if it was then it wouldn’t be this big of a problem. The government needs to step in and do more about this.
            
Lastly, there is Sexual Abuse. Sexual Abuse Is when the parent has sexual intercourse or touches the child inappropriately and makes the child feel uncomfortable. This is just sick; people should have the thought of touching young children that is not only sick but perverted. People that do things like this need to get help and must not have lives if this is what they do. Children die every day from all types of abuse sexual and physical being the top two. I actually know of a young child whose parents were actually drug users and they put the child into the hospital because the child was abused and had ribs broken by parents. The happy part is that now the child is with their grandparents. But there is no excuse for Abuse.
            
Well we need to do something. This is getting out of control as many as 553300 children die every day from abuse. Even thought those are facts from 1760 to 2007 does it matter either way children are dying. People are not making that much of an effort to really truly stop it. So let’s work together and get the job done.

Why Me?

Why Me?
A lonely child desperate and alone.
Nowhere to go and has no home.
Confused and fatally abused.
The child cries bleeding tears as their heart tears.
The love can’t be found there is no way around.
But what can that child say.
They have no questions but one.
Why me I want to be free.
You ask you cry waiting for love to soon come by.
Whisk you away and you never turn to say goodbye.
The time has come.
You can see .
No more asking…



Why Me?

Galaxies Yours and Mine


Galaxies Yours and Mine                                                                          Liz Brown
Our galaxies are so unique. There are so many different kinds. They are so different from each other none of them are like each other. I went and did a little research and what I found was amazing.
The first type of Galaxy I will be talking about is the Spiral Galaxy. It has arms and it is in a Pinwheel shape. When I look at it, it looks like gas and stars combined.  I think it is beautiful. About 77% of the galaxies are spirals. Spiral galaxies look different depending on the angle that you see it from.
Second, is the Elliptical galaxy. It can be a circle or it can be an oval. It is also very common of star cities. This is one of the main 3 galaxies out of the 3. Most Elliptical galaxies are made of older stars. I believe it somewhat cool how older stars can make a whole galaxy.
Third, is the irregular galaxy. This is a really cool one, it is made up of stars that do not have a definite shape. They are so different. The amazing thing is that all Irregular galaxies were once a elliptical or spiral galaxy but got deformed in the gravitational pull.
Well these are a couple of the things I learned during my research you should check it out and research some of the things you like. It can really be interesting. Try It you never know.
