 FROM TEARS TO PEACE OF MIND

There are a number of reports on abuse taking place within the learning environment; some of which are believed not to have been reported.

One may wonder:

“What exactly goes on inside a person’s head that leads them into physical violence? What emotions do they go through before and after the actual act?”

Some might argue that this is something that only the “abuser” can convey. Whatever it may be, it has left scars in the hearts of those who have fallen victim to such acts and yet to others, wounds that seem to be taking forever to heal. Unfortunately, we cannot go back in time and change that.

There are, however, a number of organizations, projects and campaigns that are taking a stand against abuse within the learning environment namely:

• SAVE – Students Against Violence Everywhere

• RAINN – Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network

 Just to name a few. Such organizations are acknowledged for their efforts.
