hope for the abused
The abuse of teens has been a phenomenon for the longest time. This means that the abuse of teens constitute one of the most prevalent form of violence in this time and age. The abuse of teens has been allowed to continue because the problem has been protected by a wall of silence, denial, and neglect. However, efforts to give aid to the abused have also been present.
A long time ago, in Great Britain, Erin Pizzley created a women’s center called Chiswick Women’s Aid, which later became a women’s shelter for battered women. Now, other shelters for abused women, children, and teens have followed. What does this tell us? History tells us that even if the abuse of teens have been around for the longest time, different people from all walks of life, as well as different societies and organizations are always around to help. Thus, there is no need to despair, for help is abundant for abused teens.
