This is not something that's talked about often and i hate to touch the subject, but i feel that, recently, a lot of females have been coming to me with problems.
After admitting their problems, i told them that i feel that there is more to their story and they just cry and tell me that they were abused as children and never got any help. They were afraid or not until they told me did they realize that what they went through then, is actually affecting them now.
I'm not sure if it's indenial or NOT being well educated on the subject.
I'm not saying that a hip hop site will save the world, but i'm providing a link i found from google with scary statistics, and i urge you guys to bring it to people's attention and possibly seek help or help others seek help through counseling.
About 80% of 21 year olds that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder.
Abused children are 25% more likely to experience teen pregnancy.
About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse.
More than 90% of juvenile sexual abuse victims know their perpetrator in some way
http://www.childhelp.org/pages/statistics (based on 2010 statistics, from what i can see).
The last statistic is what i think is most important. It's about juveniles. When you see a girl with really bad problems in Juvy, and lets say there is about 100, and the statistics are 90%, that's 90 women that were abused.
If those abused (90%) are experiencing teen pregnancy at a more likely rate of 25%, and 30% are likely to do it to their own children, if you do the math, that's horrible. It's like children abusing children, constantly, if those children even survive.
(Approximately 80% of children that die from abuse are under the age of 4).
Spread the info out.
