They failed us. My opinion (tw abuse talk assault)

As i'm writing this I'm 19 years old,this isn't just about me though.

This is for those who have been forgotten, abandoned and unable to voice their desperation.

I'm 19 years of age but I have heared too much from these voices,

"I'm fucking stupid"

"I was assaulted at 11"

"i was only 8"

"I'm having a punishment day"

"She won't stop screaming"

"It took me 9 years to get help"

"Do I get to eat or drink today?"

Again and again I hear the stories but nothing happens,nothing changes,why is society's most vulnerable and fragile the most hurt,broken and angry out of anyone.

We get suppressed,pushed to the sidelines begging for scraps.

Clawing and crawling our way through education and life hoping for something to come out of it.

Why are we the most broken..

we've had nobody to rise up for us when we needed it the most,to speak loud,scream from the back yet even if we do..our cries are ignored, tossed to the side, hoping it will be forgotten or we will give up.

I am angry and fed up of this,we are treated like second class citizens,a nuisance,a pain nobody knows how to treat or repair. Left to grow mold in the corner,a pest. A tumor on society.

What should be our human rights are tested daily and it's not a joke anymore.

A student shouldn't have to fight for the right to afford a hot meal or against sexual assault but both still happen, why oh why in this day and age!

All because the government failed them,when nobody was there to stand up for them ,they turned a blind eye,leaving them alone in the dark and cruel world.

Producing angry,broken lost adults in a world of evil,for the cycle to repeat. The basis of what our society is built on..

They have failed us all~

I'm sorry to the next generation,I know your already hurting and lost..we as people can't fix it all no matter how hard we try. There's too many of you.

Just know we're there to stand beside you,we stood in those steps and know how hard it can be.

(Ps government,a student can NOT live on a diet of French fries and pizza as their only main meal)
