Make educators take classes on how to recognise victims of abuse

"It is easier to build up a child than it is to repair an adult." - Recent paraphrasing of a quote by Frederick Douglass which was: "It is easier to build strong children then it is to broken men." These quotes are proven right over and over again. How many adults are living with the scars from bullying, emotional, spiritual, sexual and other forms of abuse. This includes LGBTQ children who deal with the horrific consequences of growing up thinking their sexual/asexual orientation or a gender identity that was different than the gender they were assigned at birth or intersex children who went through unnecessary surgery well an infant only to find out as they got older that the surgeon got it wrong. The trauma of LGBTQIA+ Youth can be compounded by so called "conversion therapy" which attempts the impossible task of changing sexual orientation or gender identity. Hopefully more states will join states like mine here in New Mexico which prohibits conversion therapy for minors/those under 18. ***************************** #Quotes #paraphrase #frederickdouglass #BuildUpChildren #BuildUpAChild #PreventAbuse #Bullying #PreventEmotionalAbuse #PreventSpiritualAbuse #PreventSexualAbuse #BanLGBTQConversionTherapy #SupportLGBTQIAYouth #SupportLGBTQYouth

If you suspect a child may have been exposed to inappropriate behavior, call 1-800-CHILDREN for step-by-step instructions on what to do. Too many of our youth are suffering in silence, and misery loves company. #ItStopsHere #YouthAntiViolence #PreventAbuse (at Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center - Atlanta)
