Abuse Scenario

Imagine That: You have a good friend who recently has acquired several cuts and bruises on different parts of her body. She says that she has been tripping and running into a lockers lately. You don't believe her. What do you do?
Well there are many different reasons why she would have cuts and bruises. She could be cutting herself, someone could be abusing her, and she could be playing a sport, etc. I could maybe ask her what’s going, but it might get her upset. I think that she has been getting abused by somebody. There are two kinds of abuse. They are; mental and physical abuse. Mental abuse is where someone plays mind games with you, or treats you bad emotionally. Sometimes when they don’t show they love you or care about you. Physical abuse is where someone is physically hurting you. Some examples of physical abuse are; hitting, burning, rape, or any sexual contact. In this case my friend would be getting physical abuse. She has bruises and cuts on her. If she has been getting abused by someone, then she would need to tell someone so she could get help with the situation. It is always good to get help even if your scared.
