Question

What can I do as a teen to help prevent child abuse?

Answer 1

basically nothing

the best thing you can do is if you know someone who is being abused then report it.

but you cant run around as an abuse police at that age .

Answer 2

exactly

Answer 3

There's not much you can do to *stop* it, but you can create awareness...you can put posters over your school about it, report it if you know about it, or depending on how old you are and where you live, you can volunteer at a child abuse hotline.

Answer 4

It's something that's difficult to prevent, because lots of the time it happens without anybody ever knowing. The most unsuspecting people can abuse children, and it's sad. Victims are mostly helpless. So it's not like you can just say "Don't let this happen to you." Because you can't always prevent things through that. The world is sick and dangerous, and there is nothing we can do to change that. You can try to make it better, but abuse is not going away. You could however, support victims. Search the web for some ways you can help.
