It Shouldn't Hurt to be a Child :((

When a child has experienced abuse, he is likely to have a harder time in school. He may rebel against his teachers or feel worthless .

                                                            see ??? It shouldn't hurt to be a child ;)
                                                            To care about them is our responsibility .


    Children who have been abused are held to the same educational standards as all other children. This causes major problems for them because learning can be incredibly difficult for children who have survived abuse. While some abused children have no problems surviving in school, others have a multitude of issues.

Some abused children rebel against their teachers

                                                       Oooh , poor little girl :((

    

When a child is abused, it is highly likely that the abuser was someone close to him, someone who had power over him; a parent, another relative, a coach, a teacher, an older child, etc. Therefore, the idea of someone else having authority over that child (the teacher) makes him feel abused all over again and makes him either fearful of that teacher or leads to him rebelling against her. Furthermore, in classes, teachers tend to make students do their work. Abused children might react negatively to the feeling of being forced to do something when the things that they were forced to do in the past involved abuse.

    Another issue is that of studying. Studying takes intense focus, and a child whose focus is really on his abuse may not have any left over for studying. Some abused children have flashbacks of their abuse and the idea of trying to study while literally feeling like they're still being abused is laughable .

    Other abused children are unmotivated when it comes to their schoolwork. They might feel terribly beaten down, like the abuse has ruined them and left no room for anything other than abuse in their lives. They might be depressed as a result of their abuse and find it hard to fight the depression enough to do their schoolwork. In extreme cases, children could feel suicidal and feel that doing schoolwork is pointless when they're not planning on living much longer.

Abused children may feel they are worthless

    One of the main things that abuse teaches children is that they're worthless. This is often said directly to them, in the case of verbal abuse, and, otherwise, implied based on the actions of their abuser. If children think that they're not worth anything, they might feel like they're not worth the effort when it comes to school. After all, if someone's not worth anything, why put any effort into them?

    Another issue for abused children is their home environment. If they currently or formerly live with an abuser, those abusers may not always go out of their way to teach these children. They could be far behind in any or all subjects .Teachers can also make every possible effort to raise these children's self-esteem, showing them that they're not worthless and that they deserve to live a good life. They can go out of their way to make sure that abused children are up to par with their classwork and be flexible when it comes to testing, even if it means delaying giving a student an examination for a couple of days. Abused children are not always easy to teach, but it's very possible and it can have an incredible effect on children's livesWhile these are difficult issues for teachers to face, it is not impossible to teach abused children. If a teacher can really show that he is a positive authority figure to an abused child, he could make a huge difference in his life.
