A 13-year-old should have the intelligence to decide as to whether they are being abused or not. As to whether they take someoneone into their confidence is something else entirely. In cases such as these, it is usually best for the boy to talk to a close friend, possibly someone older who has the power to decide and do something about it. If it feels like abuse, there is a problem. Is this person being yelled at, told they are not good enough or never will be etc? Do they feel depressed or angry a lot of the time? Are conflicts resolved with all parties feeling as though they have been listened to and an agreeable solution made, or are the same issues constantly being brought up again and again? Is this person being treated as an individual with individual and valuable strengths??? The list goes on and on. A good book to read would be by Patricia Evans called Teen Torment. Chekc it out.
It depends on the state and the situation. If you are being abused, they will probably place you in foster care to keep you safe and properly taken care of.
actually it doesn't matter i would just choos a place that has food water and shelter insted of being greety
Tell the court about it.
I think it's reprehensible that someone would try to make me do his homework. Our boss verbally abused one of the staff, that kind of behaviour is reprehensible.
No, it is not illegal to verbally abuse a man, but if the man was smart he would leave. Verbal abuse can leave just as many scars for a victim as physical abuse. There are programs for abused men that they should attend and learn tools in order to get out of the verbally abusive situation. Example: If a wife is verbally abusing her husband and he decides to divorce her and he can prove she is verbally abusing him then the court could press charges against her (highly unlikely) but you would be granted a divorce.
Yes and I would also call an abuse hotline
Are you kidding me right now? The whole story is about how this poor boy is abused by his psychopath mother for years. She does the most terrible things to him which I think would relate to being abused.
who would Of course they don't. Anyone that likes being abused, mentally or otherwise, would be considered somewhat abnormal.
Being licensed (in most US jurisdictions) they would be required to report such suspected abuse to the authorities - especially if the person being abused was a minor.
It does often happen that people will learn how to get their way through verbal aggression, from their own experiences of being verbally abused. Life is an endless learning experience, but sometimes people learn the wrong things. Answer I think it COULD happen but I think it would be the exception and not the rule. Victims in these kinds of situations are usually not abusive types of people - that's why they are victims. If it is an adult who grew up in a verbally abusive environment they may be the victim for a while and then finally snap and turn the tables and become the abuser but I think in most circumstances the victim would not become the abuser in the next relationship.
friends yes...but if you are talking about a adult......most likely not....unless she feels really comfortable with this person.
That would mean you're being abused.
