Why do they do it?

Scientists have been studying brain waves and reactions to certain elements for years and have found it very difficult to discover why people abuse others and different ways.

Parents/Family
A lot of people abuse others physically and verbally because it`s something they learnt from their parents. Either they`ve seen it or it`s been done to them. It seems natural and they don`t understand. When people have grown up being the victim they know how it feels and that it doesn`t feel good physically or mentally. Therefore, they`d rather be the abuser. They want to see how it feels to be in control. <

Mental health issues or disorders
People with mental health issues that abuse, mainly have anger management problems or suffer from drug or alcohol abuse. These people often resort to physical contact to relieve the stress or the pain that they are feeling. Other times it`s when they can`t control themselves and their brain decides what they do. They don`t have control over their body and their minds, making them abusive towards others.

Relationship control

When someone is in an abusive relationship it`s because they`re partner wants to be in control. When you`re in a relationship it`s about compromise but they feel like you guys need to follow one person and one person only rules. They abuse in different ways to let their partner know that they`re in control.

Self-esteem
The last reason is when someone feels poorly about themselves and try to make others feel worse in order to feel better. They want to boost their self-esteem.

In my opinion, all these reasons are crazy except for the people with mental problems that physically can`t control themselves. If they were abused, then they know how it feels, so, they shouldn`t do it to others because they know that they didn`t like it. Also, if their self-esteem is bad they should try making others feel better , that way they`ll make friends and it will boost your self-esteem because you`ll have better friends.

  1. Wow great blogs. I also don't understand why people would abuse others and hurt them for no reason. This goes back to the parents and the way the children were raised. This is the reason why they say that parents should be carefull about what they say or do because the children will end up doing the same thing to others. Keep up the good work.

  2. I agree with you. I don't think anything is an excuss for abuse. Nothing except mental illnesses which should still be treated. I don't see how someone would want another person to feel the way they felt or just want to be in control. I love your blog, keep up the good work.

  3. I do agree with Giselle this is a very good reason why parents should be very carefull about what they say or do infront of their children because the children could eventually end up doing the same thing when they are older. Keep up the great blogs Emma, i enjoy following up with them every week.
