raise awareness of different types of abuse

There are so many types of abuse that most people don't hear about. When people think about abuse , they mainly are thinking about rape or being beaten. Boys and girls go through different types of abuse and sometimes they don't speak up because they're scared they won't be taken seriously or they're not sure if it was abuse. If you have ever felt your personal space was invaded and you were uncomfortable , that is not okay and you have every right to be heard and helped. Abuse isn't just being hit or raped. If someone says things that are inappropriate and are directed towards you and you are not okay with it , that is abuse. If you were touched in any way and felt uncomfortable, that's called molestation. That is abuse. Raise your voice. Don't be scared. You deserve to be heard.
