DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: The Negative Effects On A Child.

He cringed when he was told his role in a drama
that will be performed in his school. His
countenance should have been bright and full of
excitement, since the school seldom carryout the
aforementioned activity.
Bryan, happens to come from a family were
domestic violence is at its peak. When he was
told his role (as an angry father) in the upcoming
drama, he shouted, “NO! I’m not going to act that
part,” he went further to give his reasons for
saying that, he said at home, his father always
beats his mother at every little provocation. His
teacher was stunned not just at his comments
but when other pupils, were randomly talking
about how their parents fought at home.
A home where domestic violence is the order of
the day, will in no time affect a child negatively.
Bryan felt so bad when he was told he was to act
as an angry father who will be quarrelling with his
wife and always making sure he is not happy with
anything she does. Truth be told, what he sees at
home is a fraction of the role he was supposed to
play. After so many persuasion that his role was
just for the drama, his teacher forthwith changed
his role, the gloominess suddenly disappeared
from his face, he was excited and felt so happy
that his role has been changed.
The negative effects of domestic violence on a
child, cannot be exaggerated. A home should be
a place where children are taught the differences
between nurture and torture. A home is where
children are shown and given the nitty-gritties of
a peaceful home.
As we browse through the internet, read through
the dailies, etc., the rate at which domestic
violence has risen is far beyond one could have
ever imagined. What flummoxes me the most is,
these set of couples who are perpetrators of
domestic violence are not strangers, they agreed
to come together and get married, why then the
domestic violence? So many questions are on my
mind when I ponder and wonder on why domestic
violence is on the increase. It is detrimental for a
child to be exposed to domestic violence at a very
young age, the psychological trauma, the mental
effects, inferiority complex, early exposure to
other forms of violence are just few out of the
numerous negative effects domestic violence will
have on a child. Children need to be shown the
path of love, the garden of joy, the field of hope,
but it’s unfortunate that the opposite is what
some of these children have been exposed to.
Parents should as much as possible say NO to
domestic violence. Of a truth these parents are
not above mistakes, no one is perfect, in fact they
both noticed their imperfections and differences
before they tied the knot. When there is love,
there is forgiveness, when there is love, there is
peace, when there is love, there is tolerance. A
child who is shown the path of peace in the home
will be pleased.

Spain Wants To Grab Gibraltar After Brexit, But The UK Is Saying ‘not So Fast

LONDON — Spain warned us this would happen. As it became clear early Friday morning that the UK public had voted to leave the European Union, Spain wasted no time in calling for “joint sovereignty” over Gibraltar, which is a tiny territory of Britain that Spain continues to claim sovereignty over. “The Spanish flag on the Rock is much closer than before,” Spain’s acting foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said in a radio interview. Britain’s Europe minister David Lidington (who surely must be having the craziest day ever), rejected the idea, as did Gibraltar’s chief minister Fabian Picardo. But surely they must have expected this as Garcia-Margallo has already made it pretty clear that Spain was coming for Gibraltar if the vote went a certain way — and even stuck precisely to his timeline for doing so. In the event of a vote for Brexit, “We would be talking about Gibraltar the very next day,” he told Spanish radio earlier this year. Friday afternoon Picardo d...

10 things you should not waste your time on

Life is short, so fill it with the things that you enjoy and things that really matters mainly those that will yield positive results. 1) Stop wasting your time watching rubbish on TV How many times have you sat through an entire TV programme and then ended up complaining about how awful it was? This experience is too common not to learn from. Be proactive. Switch off the TV when a programme is boring and put that time to use for something more productive. 2) Putting on your makeup before you go to the gym Makes no sense. Because you are only going to get hot and sweaty when you work out and the makeup is going to wear off and spread haphazardly, making you look horrible and feel uncomfortable. So, really, why bother putting it on in the first place? Give makeup a miss and you’ll be surprised how much time you’ll save. Besides, ultimately, no one will notice anyway - it’s a gym, remember? 3) Worrying about what other people think A useful tip on how to stop wasti...
