I don't know what type of abuse you are talking about, some forms are worste than others. But people who abuse children are usually not smart enough to know that this does effect a childs future. If the abuse is severe, you should report it to someone. If it is minor abuse, just always remember that there are correct and good ways to live "your" life when you get older, and try to know the differance so you can, on your own, not let it effect you. I lived an abusive childhood, but I knew inside of me that this wasn't how it was everywhere, and i always looked to the good things that could be in life, and I knew to hang on to those good things so one day it would come out in me. you can change your life, and make it what you want it to be in time, if you are the abused one. When that time comes, let go of the things from your past that were bad, and cling to things that you know are good and true. Always have a good light to hold onto and follow. That light will shine one day.

I would have to say it's a terrible, terrible cycle they have not been able to break. People do tend to parent the way they were parented. Not all, so please don't jump on that point. Another point, are you talking about abuse as it was seen years ago, or now? Today, we are not allowed to spank our children because it's classified as abuse. My children received a spanking when they were small, if they needed it. And I didn't spank after the first time of telling them to stop whatever it was that they were doing wrong. I firmly believed in telling them to stop, then trying time out, and if all else failed, spanking. They are all now well adjusted young adults who know right from wrong, and have yet to display any "side effects" from being corrected in their youth. Today, however, all you need to do is look around at all the kids shooting kids, gangs, and such to see what happens when the government steps in and tells us how to raise our children. If I carried those children for 9 months, gave birth to them, fed, clothed, taught them how to love and be loved, to have confidence in themselves and to be kind to others, gave them attention, understanding, and appreciated them, then I have to say I've earned the right to raise them. Unfortunately, people today teach their children via the television as a babysitter, which reinforces violence. It's no wonder there is child abuse. They are given violence from the time they are little with cartoons, up through adulthood with the action movies... It's all some people know

I dont think anyone who has children r thinking they want to abuse them. It depends on a lot of things,The person who is doing the abusing state of mental health,the cultural values in terms of what is considered abuse. And the experts think it is learned behavior from generations before. This behavior can be unlearned so if u know of a situation where abuse is happening please report it to the proper authorities,because it does have very long term effects on the child,who may never reach their full potenital. Also in Canada it is againest the law not to report abuse. I hope it hasnt happened to u. God Bless Curious 2006

Oftentimes, they were abused as children themselves, and so the cycle continues....
My father was horribly abused as a child, it makes me shudder to think about it, yet he never hurt us physically. It DID cause him to be harsh with his words, though, and for many yrs I held a grudge against him. When I got saved, the Lord gave me insight as to how much he was hurting from his childhood, and was still really just a little boy needing unconditional love, and I forgave him completely, and we have an amazing relationship to this day. The Lord also showed me how much I was very much like my Dad, too, before He saved me, btw....unfortunately, my dad has never forgiven his abuser, though long dead, and is a bitter soul....how I PRAY for him to know the peace of GOD!

I don't care about the 'end result' either. But I would care about my children. That's SO MUCH more important. Let's not upset the values and priorities, here.

If you are referring to sexual abuse, a person who does that cares for abslutely nothing but his own immediate pleasure. The epitome of selfishness.
