Abuse, the new epidemic?

When most people think about abuse, they think about physical, sexual, or drug abuse. However, today, I am talking about an abuse that hurts the self-esteem of men, women, and children alike--harassment and intimidation.
Today, harassment and intimidation leads to people moving from their homes, to children being forced into submission, and to people fearing for their lives in general. Furthermore, harassment and intimidation causes the abused individual to hate oneself, to hate others, to think/try suicide to end the abuse, and/or to become an abuser. Therefore, the above statements prove that harassment and intimidation results in emotional, social, and spiritual deterioration.
Harassment and intimidation has many forms; it can be as simple as constantly telling someone to shut up, constantly entering the place where the person is staying without his/her consent, constantly hacking into his/her computer and erasing important documents while he/she is on the internet, and constantly threateniing the person when he/she steps out on his/her porch. Today, abusers are even rewarded for harassing and intimidating individuals by their peers. Moreover, the Civil Rights Commission states that an individual has the right to be free from harassment, intimidation, and coercion in the place where he/she is staying.
How can we stop the cycle of abuse? Stopping the abuse is simple as well:

1. Do not participate in the abuse
2. Do not reward or appauld the abuser from abusing another individual;
and,
3. Report any abuse to the civil rights commission and encourage the
abused individual to do the same.

Afterall, we are all neighbors and can live together in peace. Save the abuse for our enemies when we are in an official war. Love your neighbors as yourself, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
