Domestic Abuse, Bullying, Fighting

Domestic abuse is the greatest betrayal. People have a right to security at all times. In our own homes, we should feel safest.

Too many women, children & men are physically attacked or mentally and emotionally bullied by those who they are closest to.

In the UK call this helpline if this sounds like your life:

Why do people do it? Many reasons I feel. People stay with those
they love even when abused sometimes just for love, or because
of low self esteem.

Sometimes they feel alone & don't know where to turn. Children of
course, know nothing better.

Alcohol, testosterone, repeating a cycle of abuse, mental illness,
poverty, stress, drug abuse and many other reasons are why the abusers do it.

It is the duty of ALL of us to stop this cycle. If you know anyone who
is being abused, give them the number above, let them know they are not alone.

ALL violence and bullying is wrong, physical, mental & emotional.

Sending troops around the world can never help make peace.

More must be invested in Peace Studies both for schools,
governments and individuals. See www.ppu.org.uk

The journey to rid the world of violence is a long one and a journey that we may never complete. We must at least make the first steps.
