Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

I am a very musical person and there have been a few songs that have come out regarding abuse and children. A couple weeks ago I heard this beautiful a exteremly sad song called "Alyssa Lies". This first time I head this song I had to pull the car over and I just sat there and cried. Yesterday I found the CD of the person who sings the song. His name is Jason Michael Carroll and of course I bought it. In the song he talks about his daughter meeting a new friend at school but she doesn't understand why Alyssa lies to the school, teachers, friends etc about her bruises. At first he just shrugs her off as being a young girl but then he listens to his little girl and the story that she has regarding the bruises that she has seen on Alyssa. He decides that after the weekend he would go to the school and report what he has heard and make something happen so this little girl can be safe. When he and his daughter arrives at school Monday everyone looks sad and his daughter keeps asking why. He has to tell his little girl that Alyssa won't be at school because "...Alyssa lies with Jesus...because no one would do anyting to help her". I so much relate to this that it is scary and I often wonder why I am here. With the beatings that I went through I should have died along time ago. And even though I had these horrible bruises that everyone could see and when I got older I told what was happening NO ONE did anything. I had tons of family around us one who was a Trooper in the Michigan State Police, but instead of helping they all turned us away (me and my younger twin brothers).
