Teens Against Discrimination discussion

Talk about it here. Be open minded.

Ooh. This is a pretty sensitive topic, isn't it? I don't think I should open the discussion, because I have no experience of abuse to share. I'll wait for a brave person to come along.

Um, I have not been abused as far as I know in anyway.

BUT two of my friends were sexually abused. That is all I'm saying because I don't think they want the world to know about it.

i have been abused by my father to the point i had to go to the hospital i hated it and i have a brother and two sisters and they didnt get abused only i did so i was afarid if i told on my father he ould hurt them so just let him abuse me but now my father is gone and out of my life im still scared from it im still afarid of it happing again but i still make it therw the day thank you for letting me share i have told no one this tell now.

Thank you... thank you for sharing.
I know how hard it must be for you to share this.
One of my friends burst into tears in the middle of a video for sociology because of an abuse victim and we had to talk about the video afterwards...
It was a bad day for her.

it was hard for me but i had a couple of people who helped me get threw it but they didnt know that i was getting abused and still havent told them yet cause im afarid of there reaction

((you can ignore this one if you want))
Sometimes, it's better to just let it all out. Let out all your frustrations, angers, feelings, emotions, everything. Just let it all out.

it is better to do so but i was afarid to i was scared of doing something wrong and making thigs worse so i hide my emotions

Thats awful.

You shouldnt have had to.

Still...

Did you ever report it to the police?

You should never have to get used to anything that bad...

It shouldn't happen in the first place.

People who abuse others are just sick. *Is disgusted.*

Its amazing that you were able to forgive them. I know for certian that I wouldnt have been able too. No matter how much I cared for them I just wouldnt be able to forgive them if it were me.

But isn´t it even more horrible when someone you LOVE does that to you? That´s so...!!!
*angry beyond words*
That´s so horrible for you...

I'm glad she you forgive them.
Forgiveness is hard to do and it shows how strong of a person you are.

I totally agree with EJ. You really are a strong person to be able to forgive them.

How did you get out of this? It must have been hard.

And EJ is right: You are a strong person to endure that and still forgive them.

Right you are.
...I want to hug you and tell you how brave you are.

Same.

*Returns hug.* This group really does help a lot huh. It got a few things off my chest too. *Smiles.* Im so glad this group exists and that there are people out there who understand and are kind enough to listen.



Awww im feeling all teary and emotional now...Damn my girly side. I really am in tears...

Please excuse me for a second. I need to get my emotions in order...


~V~

Same for me over here. *sniff*
It´s just amazing how many people you can talk to and who support you.
Aw, another group hug for us, I´d say.
*hugs everybody here*

*Sniffles and hugs back.*
WHY CANT I STOP CRYING DAMMIT!
I feel so cheesy...

*Nods.* I think Mel is the master of Hug-pictures.

I think hugs have already become obliging. ;)

We need a motto to do with hugs for this group...*Begins thinking.*

I found an interesting quote: A hug is like a boomerang; you get it back right away.

I think I found one: Hug department-Always open.
You have to admit. On this group it IS kinda true...

I just looked up 'hug quotes'. Theres this good site with a whole bunch of hug quotes on it. Im having fun reading them all. :)

You know the song: 'We will rock you'?

I adapted it:

We will
We will
HUG YOU!

I had a funny mental image of a bunch of gangters singing this while threatening to hug random people on the street...

It may not be funny to you but it is to me.

XD

THIS IS AMAZIN!
I won´t ever get that picture out of my head... xD

Me neither...

I loved that one also. :)

Haha yeah!

We should bring these quotes to the mods...get them to put it in the groups summary...

Definitely! How amazing would that be?!

YEAH!

A hug is the best thing in life, and the best things in life are free, but hugs are invaluable *hugs everyone*

This topic always kills me the most... Especially child abuse. I just... Why? Just why? That's all I ever wonder.

My thought exactly Wild Heart, it makes no sense, maybe it's an expression of something darker within us all, something perverse and warped.

I doubt they think it's acceptable, but I really wouldn't know. But I think it has something to do with the adage that the abused' always kick downwards' they pick on those weaker than them to have their 'revenge' taking out their anger and frustration on that vulnerable person rather than attempting to hit back at the originator.

I know, but... God, they shouldn't take it out on a child. :/

Well, in their perverse scheme of logic, a child is least likely to fight back so... it's sickening, but how to put a stop to it, short of Big Brother watching your every move?

No, not that, I meant Big Brother, as in Orwell's , 1984which is a system of cameras in every house watching everything people do. I'm sorry Rhian *hug*
