    What is the rediscovery of child abuse and why is it important? Children were only granted the same legal status as domesticated animals in regard to protection against neglect or cruelty in the 19th century. It took from 1962 through 1976 for “battered child syndrome” to be entered into the medical profession. Apparently, the confidentiality agreement about medical history between doctors, police, etc. was stopping the medical and criminal agencies from exposing the children who had been beat.…

    It was a horrific point in my life at an age where I could not even take care of myself. I was raped by someone I was very close to but that wasn’t the only emotional scar that the person left. I had to make a choice that no one knows I made and finally I am ok to speak on it. It took me a few days to make a decision but during the time I was deciding my friends and family would get on the topic of abortion and they were not too nice about it, but they did not want any of the children to have kids at a young age also. I would sit back and be quiet because I could not say anything because I was making a decision my own self, where my family would not accept either choice I made.…

Statistics say that nearly 31% of women report being abused by their boyfriend or husband. Sadly, my mother has been a part of that statistic for a extremely long time, affecting my life tremendously. Going through it, I became a pretty negative person. I rarely enjoyed any nice times in my life because I knew, that just like the violence at home, good times would soon be followed by some rough times.…

    When I got on the SEPTA 66 bus from Frankford Transportation Center, it was just another plain day for me. I spent a hearty amount of my day enjoying my biology class and falling asleep in my computer class. When I would get home, I’d either take a nap or try to do some homework for my online courses. I stepped on the bus, swiped my transpass, and sat at my usual spot on the bus; the three seater facing the backdoor. I see that across from me, there was a girl in a maroon catholic high school uniform on her phone.…

    The one thing I remember vividly from my childhood are the holes. During what was supposed to be a safe and restful naptime I dug into the wall with my tiny bare index finger. Over some unknown time period, those mysterious diggings developed into a fair likeness of the solar system. The trauma that any individual deals with, whether it is during childhood or adulthood, can turn out to be life-altering, specifically, when it hides far inside of the subconscious mind for many years. How does anyone climb out of that hole?…
