Emotional abuse

Emotional abuse means when someone says or does things that make you feel bad about yourself and sad inside. This can be things like constantly yelling, insulting, or saying mean things to you. It can also mean things like not giving you love or attention and making you feel alone. Emotional abuse can happen when someone is trying to control you or have power over you. It's important to tell a trusted adult if this is happening to you or someone you know, so they can help you stay safe and feel better. Remember, you deserve kindness, respect, and love.
