Swept Under the Rug Cont'd

As I mentioned in my previous post about domestic violence I want to give you some insight as in examples, signs to be aware of, facts, and effects on children and teens. These are some signs to look out for if someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse here are the following injuries, excuses, fear of conflict low self-esteem, personality changes, missing work or school, self-blame etc. One thing to notice in children is aggressive or care-taking in behavior in children so this means children who live in violent homes may take that with them to school or the playground. In fact most children that are school bully become the bully because they witness acts of violence at home. As for the effect in teens they feel frustrated, ready to run away from home, loss in appetite, all kinds of stress. Most young boys that see their mothers being hit by their fathers grow up to the same to their significant other or spouse. How many more women must lose their lives? How many kids and teens must suffer? These are things to think about.
