, thats a lot of hate, not everything you put down had the details gone through and some i do not agree with. However, you are so right about people doing stupid things/ lieing and that this obviously ****** other people off. the problem with that though is that no one "knows" what is actually right and wrong (except for the obvious like abuse). . i do believe that we can have curiosities in our genes and that it is possible to be defected and born a male in a female body and vis- versa (there's no reason why anyone would want that to happen to themselves, they grow up in normal homes and some of them knew from the time they could remember, before ever having knowledge of male and female) if that is possible then it is possible to be born gay, especially as straights are repulsed by them. and i do agree with this statement as the other night i got drunk, a girl startd hitting on me.. i decided i didnt care and i'd give in.. she gave me a massage and thats all i could handle. for the next few days i couldn't get it out of my head and i knew-- never again, because i felt so disgusted about the situation. saying that i do believe it is possible for some to choose if they are in 'rough shape'. so i think that its good that you critique but not everyone is a sheep and that the same time even you are- the problem isnt that people are followers, its that we dont know what to follow. and secondly how can you can change the world if all you are doing is saying what is wrong?...i do not agree that children should be taught about abuse as at that age, trust is very important, (i also do not believe children should be taught particular laws because that is creating comformity). you can teach teens these things, but only on a positive note because if it has happened to them they'll potentially become introverted. i do think that teens should have mandatory counseling a few times a year though. and teachers (for all ages) need to have some social worker/psychology classes (if they dont already) as it is more their responsibility then it is a childs! to learn of an abuser... it is good that you are helping the community and that you can see things that others may not, but dont let that spoil you.

have you published any of your articles ?

 

yes i would,i have always wanted too..
 i have been a victim of many types of abuse myself  as a young child and growing up and also through out my life.
 i have had no one to turn to at those times and just kept it all inside apart from councelling sessions which havnt helped my paticular circumstances.
i am 46 now and have a daughter 14 and a son 16,who has complex specific learning difficulties/non verbal learning disorder.(both had witnessed me being abused, by their father)my sons dissability is the result of his dads behaviour and my daughter has stress related irratable bowel syndrome due to it.,we are survivers and take one day at a time,,life is tough at the best of times,,
before i had my children i considered fostering but felt because of the abuse i had been through i wasnt ready as i was still healing myself.
however i have now had the exsperience of raising two children alone and would still consider helping a child affected by abuse in the future...
thanks for allowing me to respond to this question
