How much abuse do you think people should take?

Is the number zero?

Guess what, you're people.

There are a shocking amount of people who don't know what abuse is and even more that think a little is okay apparently.

When I teach the research that shows that spanking is abuse, no exceptions, I always get students insisting that they were spanked and they turned out fine.

No, they didn't. They turned out as people who think it's okay to hit little kids.

Abuse is abuse. People who abuse kids are criminals.
I have had issues all of my life because of the abuse that I suffered as a kid.
When I was born, my mom didn't want me and left me at the hospital. My life went downhill from there.
It wasn't my choice... I had no choice.

That is very sad. You must be a very strong person to have survived and triumphed over so much.
