We know about violence because it's something we see and feel. You can't be too young or too old to know violence can happen to you, and that it's not your fault. We need to understand that sexual abuse of children, for example is wrong, not just gross. Violence is about power and control. It makes us feel isolated and alone, and it also makes us want to protect ourselves.
Violence is unwanted and unnecessary.
People who commit violent acts rationalise them so that they don't have to admit they are wrong even though a girl could be hurt for life. We can stand up for ourselves. It's important that we tell what's happening to us. We have the right to tell someone we trust. There must be more use of positive reinforcement like praise and thanks.
