Only A Sick Person Can Abuse A Child

You have to be a totally heartless person to harm an innocent child.

Only A Sick Person Can Abuse A Child

"Sick person" is basically the only way I can describe someone who abuses a child. People are going to know right from wrong the older they get, so that is even more true for "adults" who commit such crimes. The younger the child is, the more helpless they are. Therefore, you have to be a totally heartless person to harm an innocent child. I cannot believe that this is what the world is coming to.

Various types of child abuse are becoming more and more prevalent in today's culture. In the past three years, I can think of three cases of child abuse, two of which involved a female infant. They were all over the news and all over Facebook. So many questions about why someone would do that and so many prayers prayed for the child involved. It is really sad to think about what effects a situation like this can have on a young person.

So much can be said for the child. So many times I have seen it happen by a caregiver or someone that the child thought they could trust. How heartbreaking it is to destroy a child's innocence at such a young age. It leaves a scar on their life that could very well lead to problems in the future, whether they be health or emotional.

While I realize not everyone has had this privilege, I would want my children to have the opportunity to be children. They should be able to play and explore their interests and hobbies without fear. They should not have to wonder why they weren't loved enough or why it had to happen to them. I would not want them to have to worry or be afraid of something happening to them, but that is sadly not the world we live in.

Some children have died from various types of abuse, and that is nothing but pure evil. The child was never given a chance to live their life, and it is hard to tell who might have died. That child could have made such a difference in so many lives. So much potential exists in a young life, and it is so sad to see such evil corrupt it.

I have no words for people who abuse children for whatever reason. You are not going to benefit from it in any way possible. You are permanently scarring an innocent life, plus you're also scarring your own. This will be on your personal record, and you'll more than likely never be able to work with children again. Some circumstances won't even allow proximity. Your reputation is going to be shot, and you're basically going to be ruined. Therefore, if you think any benefit is going to come from from this, you're completely and totally wrong and twisted. We all have bad days. We all get frustrated, and we all get agitated. Sometimes people are the source of our anger. However, it is never okay to take it out on anybody, let alone a child. If you feel this way, then I highly suggest getting a handle on that through consultation before it gets out of hand.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
