Emotional Child Abuse
There are many forms of emotional
child abuse. Coldness ignoring

![Page 17: Twisted](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816594550346895dd866a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Types of abuse
• Ignoring happens when the parents don’t pay attention to the child
• Harassment scares children and repeated exposure to fear can alter the child not only mentally but physically
• Coldness happens when the parents don’t show the love and warmness towards their children

Child Abuse Cont.
• When most people think of child abuse they think physical. However emotional child abuse is far more common.

Teen Suicide
Suicide is a major issue that all countries deal with today
Suicides among young people continue to be a serious problem. Each year in the U.S., thousands of teenagers commit suicide. Suicide is the third
leading cause of death for 15-to-24-year-olds, and the sixth leading cause of death for 5-to-14-year-
olds.

^Things to watch out for^
• change in eating and sleeping habits • withdrawal from friends, family, and regular activities • violent actions, rebellious behavior, or running away • drug and alcohol use • unusual neglect of personal appearance • marked personality change • persistent boredom, difficulty concentrating, or a decline in the quality of
schoolwork • frequent complaints about physical symptoms, often related to emotions, such
as stomachaches, headaches, fatigue, etc. • loss of interest in pleasurable activities • not tolerating praise or rewards

If a child or adolescent says, I want to kill myself, or I'm going to commit suicide, always take
the statement seriously and immediately seek assistance
from a qualified mental health professional.

My final social issue from “Twisted” is teen drinking.
