Abuse
This category lists pages and sites related to abuse. It includes information on what abuse is, how it affects families and individuals, where to get help if you are the victim, and what to do if a friend is the victim.
Abuse comes in many forms. It may be emotional, physical, sexual, or a combination of these. Whatever shape or form abuse takes, it's always wrong. And it's not the victim's fault.
