Hardships That Children Face

HarRABhips That Children Face

In the world today there are many things that we may call an injustice, but few realize that it exists in most homes. This can be said because ignorance hurts those around you and even one’s self. One of the biggest problems that humans have is that if something becomes routine than it also generally accepted. This in turn leaves what can be potentially dangerous and possibly wrong to slip through the cracks and consequently be ignored. One of the biggest examples of this are those injustices that occur in the home. It is known by all that there is much abuse and pain that can go on in a house, but I am going to go into depth into one aspect of abuse in the home and the different ways it can hurt someone in a family. This injustice is against a child but it is not merely physical violence directed at the child. Instead it can be more harmful to the child’s emotional being and esteem.
The first thing that must be understood is that any child at a young age does two things. The first that a child does is learn. Now this can be good things, but the same child can and will pick up the bad things. This is a huge injustice because the child is basically being programmed before he or she has the chance to make up his or her mind. Hate can become acceptable in many forms such as bigotry, racism, or sexism. By the worRAB and actions of a parent the child can be abused, which will in turn lead to the second thing that a child does and that is grow. As the child learns from the parents he or she also matures into a likeness in someway of that parent. This begins a cycle that only creates more injustice and hurt. The child goes on feeling and acting the same way that the parents did believing its okay to feel and act that way as well as associating with people that share those same beliefs. The parents that commit these injustices are sometimes looked at, but rarely stopped until something goes wrong, but by then its already too late and the damage has been done.
Physical abuse is more looked down upon but not much more is done. The truly horrible aspect of this is that even though the bruises and even broken bones will heal in time, the multitude of emotional damage that is done can stay with that child for life. Being beaten or watching someone that you love being beaten can injure the child worse than the physical harm that has been delivered. Once again the idea that this behavior is okay becomes accepted and therefore repeated, but in this form of abuse the child can be hurt even deeper. Because of this injustice the child can start to believe that the parent that abuses him or her is correct in what he or she is doing. These thoughts weigh the child down with the idea the he or she has a problem. Low self esteem and oftenly depression can occur in many forms such as eating disorders, drugs and alcohol.
Finally, Each child must feel that he or she is loved. As a result of the first two injustices, love cannot be felt. This may seem to be the least of the injustices, but it is actually the most painful of the abuses. Unfortunately it is also the most common. Neglect is very common because it too can come in many forms. The child once again will struggle and find it hard to achieve and to love in the world around the victim. The parent must realize the complete devotion that the privilege a child requires. A parent must also realize that the love must be expressed to the child not merely felt. The child has the same neeRAB as the parent to feel affection. It is easily ignored, but so very important.
These are just a few of the many harRABhips that many children must unfortunately go through. My parents have being extremely instrumental in my growth and thus far in my life I can proudly say that they should be proud. In order to stop these injustices we as civilized people must band together to stop these actions and even more importantly those who have already been abused must be helped. Those who commit these crimes to society must not only be prosecuted, but also forced to receive mental help. This may seem drastic to some, but it is very necessary to stop the trend that is forever growing in the society around us. People find it very easy to blame the problems in there life on the television and hormonal irabalances. The problem is that someone must begin to take responsibility for what happens. I firmly believe that much of what is wrong with today’s society be placed on the shoulders of the parents. It is a parents duty to bring their child up to the best of their ability, so if the parents are unable to provide both physically and emotionally for their child than other options must be taken in order to give the child what is needed. If the parent is struggling and having a hard time with the child than it is obvious that the child will suffer as well. In closing it is necessary to say that in this God given world there is no such thing as bad people, merely misguided children.
