Abuse.

I may be a little late on this subject, but I suppose that there isn't really a time when we should or shouldn't talk about it.
So recently on social media, such as YouTube and Twitter, people have been voicing their opinion on sexual, domestic and other kinds of abuse that unfortunately happens on a daily basis. Due to some recent events involving some popular vloggers supposedly supporting or showing sexual abuse on their channels or in any other way, I want to voice my opinion.
I am not going to victimize any specific people as it's not worth my time and this post is based on everyone!
First off, I think abuse is so wrong and I have absolutely no idea why anyone would inflict pain upon anyone at all. It doesn't matter whether the abuse is unnoticeable or extremely severe, it should not be done.
I myself have never experienced abuse from family or strangers, but in the school environment I found myself feeling less safe when an event with a so called "friend" occurred, I was pushed to the floor and kicked several times with bruises to show, this made me feel fairly uncomfortable with my school although it was not their fault at all. I opened up to some teachers about how I felt and they supported me and gave me great advice. Such as 'Don't be afraid to speak up.' Your voices need to be heard.
On average nearly half a million domestic abuse victims are too scared to speak up about their incidents to anyone. This should NOT be the case.

I am certainly no expert at giving advice on large scale, re-occurring abuse, but for more help and to talk to someone anonymously you can check these links:)
