@randomname The problem is abusive childhoods are not rare, they're common. I mean it really depends on how you define common but the fact that there's over 60% of reported cases by population in America which is ignoring the fact that most abuse does not get reported because of shame and or pressure from abusers. And this is just America, Japan has issues with prideful families and silence in regard to abuse. It's even more likely over there. A child who makes a report to the police is never believed, and abusive parents can easily twist the situation to make it look like nothing happened. Police or CPS will not investigate without evidence, and how exactly do they get that evidence? So it tracks that with 60% of reported cases of child abuse alone that abuse is fairly common. It's a bias that you think everyone lives good lives with a supportive enviroment. Because you assume others are like you. And how do you know your peers and even neighbours aren't being abused? It's not like they walk around with a sign, abused kids normally stay silent and put on a happy face in fact. Because when they try to speak up no one takes them seriously. Abused kids being bullied and not being able to keep up with your peers normally happens because the effects that abuse has on children. So far this entire story is completely plausible, not even a hint that any of this is exagerrated. I'm sorry to say but you just make a lot of assumptions about the way life is, life isn't anything. Reality is stranger than fiction because reality follows no rules. This story should not seem exagerrated to you and think about the implications of what you say and how it affects the author. You are essentially accusing them of lying, a victim of abuse who has no proof nor probably the mental strength to deal with everyone who accuses them of lying or exagerrating. It probably reminds them of their past where they tried to speak up and no one listened. Please think before you say things like this.
