A child that’s been abuse so much can also commit suicide and get hook on drugs really bad. Recent studies indicate high levels of sexual violence in childhood up to 21 per cent according to multi-country study conducted by the World Health Organization with girls far more likely to be abused than boys (www.unicef.org). The domestic violence can go from generations to generations. The violent behavior stays with a child when they has move out the home. Boys who are exposed to their parent’s domestic violence are twice as likely to become abusive men as are the sons of non-violent parents (www.unicef.org).

Running head: SUICIDAL CLIENTS 1 Working with a Suicidal Client Daron Elam Walden University Working with a Suicidal Client Determining: Suicidal or Not? Most suicide attempts occur in the context of interpersonal discord or other severe life stress (Butcher, Mineka & Hooley, 2006, p.292). In determining whether a person is suicidal or not, there are trends or commonality populations that make it easier for a counselor to narrow the process. Mood disorders, separated or divorced persons, borderline personality and anti-personality disorders also come at a heightened risk. (Butcher, Mineka & Hooley, 2006).
The family is implicated in the initiation, maintenance, and prevention of drug abuse by its members. Millions of teenagers are using the legal drugs on the market, as alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, and many of them are consumers of illegal substances as amphetamines, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. Most of these drugs will initiate in adolescents sexual relationships at earlier ages, high risk for intentional and unintentional
Rhetorical Analysis of “Violent Media is good for Kids.” After reading the essay I realized violence for Jones and many other kids was used as the key for the same kind of scene my 13 year old cousin went through, throughout his elementary years. He grew up alone and was always making up stories of violence and was able to overcome that through making up his own characters and make believes in his head. He always talked about guns and saving the day. When children play games with “good guys” and “bad guys” they are making out the differences between right and wrong, and what those character traits are. “Jones’ essay reminded me to not jump to any hasty conclusions” (287), but to re-think this topic and reflect on how my cousin acts.
Cicchetti and Valentino (2006) indicated that “research regarding the intergenerational transmission of maltreatment has consistently supported the notion that individuals with a history of maltreatment are more likely to maltreat their own children” (p. 139). Justin watched his parents get into physical and verbal fights. He saw his mother and father abuse substances. He was even beaten so badly by his father that he had to be taken to the hospital with a severe concussion. Justin was fearful.
However, professional's say that juvenile offenders commit these crimes due to being abused or even ignored as a child (Valentine). Society has proven countless amounts of times to play a part the breeding of bad behavior amongst our youth. How does a 10 year old find the gun to go kill his classmates? In many cases there were weapons involved that the youth found from other peers or adults in the home. If your child knows where your gun is located, it is partly the irresponsibility of parents that cause so many
It was found that fifty three percent of youth within the juvenile system have been assessed with mental health problems. There is a strong lead that mental problems lead to many suicide cases in juvenile confinement. Mental health disorder is a big problem in our society and it leads to many tragedies but how can a person get one? Answer is simple; years of abuse by other people can easily create some big mental problems. Many juvenile delinquencies commit crimes because they have some mental problems.
When I began my internship with Person Country Department of Social Services, I expected to see children that have been beaten, sexually abused, and neglected. What did not expect, was to hear about children testing positive for the same drugs to which their parents are addicted. The CPS and Foster Care social workers of Person County report that 90% of children currently in care have a family history or current issue with parental drug abuse. The list of drugs ranges from marijuana to heroin to prescription drugs to methamphetamine being cooked in the homes. These children are ingesting these drugs through powder in the air or on surfaces where they play and eat, breast milk, and while still in the womb.
The most commonly abused prescription drugs are pain relievers, depressants and stimulants (Vicodin, Xanax and Adderall, respectively) (What are the Most Commonly Abused Prescription and Over the Counter Drugs?, 2014). Medicine that is available without a prescription is called over the counter and can be abused as well by taking more than the recommended dose on the package. There are many reasons why adolescents abuse these types of drugs. Boys typically abuse stimulants to get high and girls use them to lose weight or stay alert. Short and long term abuse may cause irregular heartbeat, slurred speech, nausea, diarrhea, seizures, even death.
