Abuse is when someone hurts you or makes you feel bad. It is never OK to abuse others. You can always get help.
It can be hard to believe that someone wants to hurt or scare others. But people sometimes do that in order to control other people. That is called abuse. It is never OK to abuse others.
There are many people who can help those who experience abuse, if they tell someone. The people who hurt and injure others can also get help. They aren’t necessarily taken away, but they can get help to change their behaviour.
If you or someone you know experiences abuse, it’s best to tell an adult whom you trust. They can be someone in your family, a teacher or a friend’s parents. If there is no one you feel comfortable talking to, you can call the children’s emergency number 112. Then the family gets help solving the problem.
You can always get help by calling 112 or on the 112 webchat
We all look different, and we all want different things. It’s important to feel good about ourselves and to tell others what we want and don’t want.
Abuse is about controlling, intimidating and humiliating the other person
