Blogging for a Great Cause

Bloggers Unite



I'm against abuse in any shape or form. I believe that all abuse needs to be addressed and eradicated. That mental and emotional abuse is just as enduring and damaging as physical abuse. I googled "abuse" and below is my initial listing of causes to fight for...




Definitions of abuse on the Web:
mistreat: treat badly; "This boss abuses his workers"; "She is always stepping on others to get ahead"


pervert: change the inherent purpose or function of something; "Don't abuse the system"; "The director of the factory misused the funds intended for the health care of his workers"


maltreatment: cruel or inhumane treatment use foul or abusive language towards; "The actress abused the policeman who gave her a parking ticket"; "The angry mother shouted at the teacher" a rude expression intended to offend or hurt; "when a student made a stupid mistake he spared them no abuse"; "they yelled insults at the visiting team"


misuse: improper or excessive use use wrongly or improperly or excessively; "Her husband often abuses alcohol"; "while she was pregnant, she abused drugs"
