CHILD ABUSE PART 3

How to Tell
By now you know it's important for a kid to tell someone if they think they are being abused. But how does a kid tell? Here are some ideas:

•Talk to a trusted adult in person.
•Talk to a trusted adult on the phone.
•Write a note, an email, or send a letter to the trusted adult.
•Tell someone at school, like a school counselor, school nurse, teacher, or coach.
•Tell a friend's mom or dad.
•Tell someone who answers the phone at a hotline service, such as 1-800-4-A-CHILD.
The way a kid tells and whom a kid tells will be different depending on the situation. The most important thing is to tell someone — or even several people — until someone takes action to stop the abuse from happening. A kid who tells on an abuser might be helping other kids, too. Some abusers hurt more than one kid.


It takes a lot of courage to talk about this kind of thing, and sometimes it takes a while to feel strong enough to talk about it. That's OK. Just know that, in the end, telling a safe person is the bravest thing a kid can do. It can feel really good when a kid takes steps to stay safe and protect other kids from getting hurt

English Edification Enrichment- What is the origin of "honeymoon"? In the old days people wanted their marriage to start on a sweet note. It was therefore customary for newlyweds to drink mead for a month. Mead was a drink made from honey. The "moon" refers to the period of thirty days or one month that the couple was expected to drink the mead. After the first month, the couples came face to face with reality; they realized that their affection, like the moon, would wax and wane. By the way, the word "honeymoon" need not always be used to refer to the holiday that newly married couples take immediately after marriage. The term is now being used to refer to an early stage in any activity when people are happy with each other because everything is going smoothly.
