Child Abuse
For my final essay in this class i am going to be writing about child abuse. The reason why i decided that i was going to write about child abuse is because it is something that needs to be stopped and talked about so people really know what is going on. Also you child could be getting abused right in front of you and you might have no clue that it is happening so by writing an essay it might help people to better understand what child abuse really means. In researching this topic i found out that at least two out of every ten girls and one out of every ten boys are sexually abused by the end of their 13th year. Steps need to be taken to stop this from happening. I belive that more people need to step in when they see the first sign of child abuse. It is something that can be stopped but a lot of people are too afraid to say something because they feel like it is not their bussiness. But if something really bad does happen then how would they feel? By stepping in you could save a life.

Ally, I'm glad you are settling on a topic for this paper. The statistics you cite are quite shocking. Where did you get them from? (Don't forget to cite your sources.)
As you continue to work, I'd like you to narrow your focus and purpose a little. There is no dispute that it needs to be stopped. Does anyone think it shouldn't. So your essay needs to examine something new about the topic. Maybe you could look at the current state of our social services. Are we equipped to adequately deal with this problem? Is the problem getting better or worse? Are there new philosophies or initiatives developed to deal with the problem?
Keep working and good luck.
The effects of child abuse vary, depending on its type. A 2006 study found that childhood emotional and sexual abuse were strongly related to adult depressive symptoms, while exposure to verbal abuse and witnessing of domestic violence had a moderately strong association, and physical abuse a moderate one.
