I never realized how severe of a problem it is, in
that how common it is in America where I didnt
expect it to be so prevalent. There are many
kinds of abuse, and while physical abuse is
arguably less damaging than emotional abuse, it
is still horrible to have to deal with. In
conclusion, I learned a lot, and though there are
so many networks for people to reach out for
help, the situation will change only slowly
because victims are afraid or often
unknowing/unwilling to recognize how bad their
situation truly is.
