You're a winner. The tests of life are not meant to break you, but to make you.

Stop violence! Here are abuse quotes and motivational quotes for you to stand up, speak up, break
free and move on with a better life.

Domestic violence, child abuse, bullying are serious issues and should not be ignored. Abuse, be it
physically, emotionally, sexually or verbally, hurts the victim a lot. The impact is incredibly
devastating.

The truth is, no one should ever be beaten, threatened, bullied or controlled under any
circumstances.

There would be no one to frighten you if you refused to be afraid. (Mohandas K. Gandhi)

You might feel intense fear and anxiety, but you need to face it. This might be easier to be said than
done, especially if he/she often hurts you physically. However it’s important that you stand firm for

yourself, help yourself. When you are not frightened, you are claiming that you are not weak,
powerless and you set a barrier for them not to come near and harm you.

Stop abuse quotes:

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the
outcome.
(Michael Jordan)

If you are constantly being belittled, teased or scolded, you might experience low self esteem and
lack of confidence. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are unworthy, unwanted or useless. That is
just the tactics they used to gain control over you. Instead, remember that you are precious,
important and loveable!

Stop abuse quotes:
Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but morning
comes. Keep hope alive.
(Jesse Jackson)

There might be a lot of worries that stop you from leaving the abuser, like financial issue (If you
have been depending on him for a long time) or safety problem (If he threatened to abuse you more
violently). But please don’t feel helpless or hopeless. Never surrender! There are many support
groups and helplines that you can seek for assistance.

Please read the following abuse quotes and domestic violence quotes so you can gain courage and
motivation to make a change, step out of the abusive situation and rebuild your life.

Always keep in mind that you deserved a good, safe, peaceful and loving life. YES! YOU DO!
