Abuse
/a·buse/
Abuse is defined as the improper usage or treatment of an entity, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in many forms, such as physical or verbal maltreatment, injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices: crimes or other types of aggression.
Abuse is a negative and real threat that many people face. Child abuse is a problem that is continually occurring. The main types of child abuse are physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglecting. When these types of abuse occur in a home, they often go unnoticed. The stress and fear of the abuse will usually cause the victim to remain quite about the problem.
It is a difficult problem to find out and assess, but there are solutions. It is important that people are aware of signs of abuse. They may include unexplained injuries, changes in behavior, fear of going home, changes in eating and sleeping and lack of personal care or hygiene.
, this can be a major cause for concern. Physical abuse is never a normal or healthy response to negative emotions, so if your teen is becoming violent, it’s never too early to get them the right counseling

The Dangers of Physical Abuse
Troubled teens may turn to violence as a reaction to a negative experience or emotion. Most people use language to solve their issues or work through their emotions, so violence is indicative of some very serious underlying issues. Teenagers who are physically abusive can destroy the relationships they have and make the people around them fear them. If your teen is violent, you might be afraid to have them in the house if they’re upset, or might worry about the other children in the house if you have any. Not only is it unhealthy for both parents and children to be living in an environment

Environment
n.noun
en·vi·ron·ment
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines environment as the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. A person's environment, or social surroundings, have an enormous impact on the way that person thinks and operates. If a person is surrounded by negativity, he/she is more likely to replicate that negativity and display negative behaviors in other areas of life.
The environment of a troubled teen can often be the root cause or factor in the troubled adolescent's negative behavior. When an impressionable teenage boy or girl is surrounded by negative peers, it is common for these teens to develop negative behaviors themselves. It is for this reason that parents should be aware of their child's social surroundings and environmental influences.
If a teenage boy or girl is troubled, a total change in their environment may be in order. By replacing a troubled teen's negative environment with that of a therapeutic, nurturing and rehabilitative environment, troubled adolescents are able to emotional, therapeutic and behavioral restoration.
like this, but it can also be very dangerous, unfortunately. Before violence can cause even more danger and lasting emotional damages, it’s important to address. Whatever emotional problems are leading to the acting out that your son or daughter is doing can be worked through with the right program, so don’t hesitate to seek help before the issue escalates even further.
