The story behind my topic choice

Abuse has become a wide spread in America and it happens mostly to people who have single parents or have low income. Stress and disappointment lead to making poor parenting skills. Some single parents don’t know how far to take their actions and they result in violence. Abuse is also mistaken to be “accidental” but I have to disagree. Hearing the studies they have found on this have made me raise suggestions and conclusions as to why this happens to innocent people, yet it is in some cases an accident? I know first hand because a girl I knew suffered from abuse. She was pulled out of school because of her abusive boyfriend she previously lived with who used to hit her. When I saw her people would constantly ask about her marks, but she would make excuses to hide it and protect him. Many people have different opinions on this, but mine will always stay the same. After that experience with my friend I see how hard things can be when you’re told you were the “reason”, and it was “your fault”. Scientists have said that children who are unwanted, have medical issues, and have hyperactive disorder are most likely to be abused.
