What is the problem?

The problem I'll be focusing on is psychological abuse which is known as emotional or mental abuse. This form of abuse characterised by a person subjecting or exposing another to behaviour that may result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. 

The reason why this is a problem is because a lot of people are affected by this issue and don't know how to solve it. A significant amount of people have been affected by bullying at some stage of their life which can leave a negative lasting impact. Sometimes people don't know how to express how they really feel inside but can show the emotion outside, in some cases, some people don't know where to go to seek help. 

Main issues with this problem:

• Effects more in young children.
• No clear way to get help as people may be embarrassed to go to counselling as they don't think there is a problem but there is.
• Can impact someone's life if they don't get help which involves them feeling worst and can lead to other issues if the case is very bad.
• The person feels more worried or concern because they feel like there's no loved ones to talk to when in need of support. 

All these different issues and more need to be dealt with as this type of abuse isn't acceptable, in my past I have went through a emotional abuse, it isn't a nice feeling having people shouting and torturing you which they think would be funny, but it isn't fun being on the other side. To this day it still impacts my life, it is a struggle I have and hard to get on with when myself has such a supporting family that love me very much for who I am but yet I would still have troubles communicating my feelings I have. I want to find a way to solve this problem as I know the feeling and I know many others has been affected by this problem and can't get it fixed.

What's your way of solving the problem?

Solving this problem I will be doing a lot of research on this and see what is out there that is trying to help people with this problem, to see if I can advertise this issue more by my use of graphic work, to let people know this is a real concern issue and needs to be sorted out as it will never get better. I know people come into schools to talk to primary or secondary's pupils about bullying and what it can affect but I believe there should be people coming from the counselling side to talk more into detail about this problem as I believe this problem hasn't been talked about much and young children need to understand this situation so if any child or young adult is feeling emotional and don't know what to do, to get help by talking to the teacher or parents because I know this problem isn't easy to talk about. I believe there should be more advertising about this issue, more leaflets about this problem, I want to get the message across more that people aren't alone in this situation and not feel embarrassed to seek help.
