Finding Paragraph 2

While researching facts concerning abuse I found multiple facts that had lead me to think that verbal abuse at one time was worse than physical abuse but it seems as if they both have the same outcome. Both physical and verbal abuse leaves scars that a child must try to overcome and no one completely overcomes being abused. The only difference between the two is that physical abuse leaves scars on the outside where people can see, while verbal abuse does damage on the inside. According to, How are the effects of verbal abuse on children, physical and verbal abuse have a long-term affect on someones life. Abuse can make a child think about suicide or commit suicide; suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds. I found this extremely interesting that some cases of suicide are the result of a child being abused. After researching all the statistics and cases of child abuse it has opened my eyes and has made me understand that just because someone is not putting their hands on someone they are still doing damage. I feel that verbal abuse does has the same outcomes as physical abuse. Both physical and verbal abuse hurt people whether it is their body or their self esteem, and both physical and verbal abuse can kill someone. After this research project I have made a big shift to thinking maybe physical abuse is not just the problem that there are multiple problems with abuse going on.
