Sexual Abuse

For my teen life project, I’ll be doing sexual abuse. For this post I found my information in wikipedia.
What I learned was that sexual abuse, is that it is when a person forces another to perform sexual acts. Physical forced sexual acts are called rape. While psychological forms of abuse can be called stalking. There is sexual abuse from teachers, which is when a teacher gives unwanted sexual attention to students. Also, there is sexual abuse from members of the same family which is called incest .
I tried to make little, but detailed information so some people can understand better and I’ll have more to write about later on, sexual abuse is a very serious and very important topic. I think that what I read was very informative because there are some things I didn’t know about sexual abuse that I learned here, like that sexual abuse from members of the same family is called incest. That is one the part of sexual abuse that interests me the most, incest, it is a very serious problem. Like if you feel that you are in danger of getting raped when you are walking on the streets and then you get home where you are supposed to feel safe and protected because the only people in your house are family. WRONG! You aren’t safe anywhere, it is a cruel world where you have to be careful that you don’t let any member of you family, especially of the opposite sex, into your room and close the door with a lock, like maybe with your mother it is okay, but with more distant family like an uncle, aunt, or cousin, you should definitely be careful. If any family member starts acting you in an inappropriate way, then you shouldn’t stay quiet, you should tell another
adult, so that he or she can do something about that, like tell the police.
I have heard stories in the news about sexual harrasment from teachers like a teacher that started sending porn to students by email, and teachers that force students into performing sexual acts by threatening them with school-related things. No matter what a teacher threatens you with, you should never give in to that kind of sexual harrasment because that is never right.
Also, never think that just because you are male you are safe from sexual abuse because that is completely wrong, ther is sexual harrasment from male to male, or homosexual abuse. There is sexual abuse from women to men also.
For my next post I’m still going to do sexual abuse, but I’m going to focus on sexual abuse of minors since at it is more important to us since we are minors too. There are very auful stories about how minors get raped by I the streets or that crazy people sneek into their houses when their parents are away and rape them. Like I heard this story on the radio where a man found this girl walking on the streets and hit her head with a piece of wood so she went unconscious, then he raped her, and after that he ate her, so he was a canibal as well as a sexual abuser.
