Log#7

Recalling to my logs for the final project, I have some reflections. I wrote down lots of negative stories and experiences, and I even can feel that my words always reveal cynicism. It seems that my life have had been ruined because of other people's deeds. However, I know that is not true. My life, in fact, is full of happiness. From past to present, I always have my own way to deal with my pleasure and obstacles, and I feel proud of myself. A saying must represent my situation in Chinese: 化悲憤為力量. I really love this saying because I believe it totally symbolizes my personality. Take my past experiences for example, I had referred in my previous logs; my family members won't be good models in my life. I understand when a family fights all the time, the children in that family would be more likely to have fights in their future families. Even, there are many studies, which have shown that a child, living in single-parent family, will tend to get divorced just as their parents did. Despite of the fact that I have experienced this sort of situations, I still live in hope. People might be confused about how eager I am to have my own family in the future. I look forward to being a model parent to my children and trying to reverse those facts and researches. Another experience is about my academic influences. I cannot deny that there was a period, in which I extremely resented "teachers". They didn't like me; instead, they were subject to look down on me first. Nevertheless, thanks to them, I have a motivation to strengthen myself in the most positive way. Also, hopefully, in the end I have changed what they had thought about me previously. To be honest, I am fond of these awful experiences; somehow I obtain the sense of accomplishment. Although it is quite weird for a person to run his/her live, I still consider my thoughts do rescue my live. However, to the very point, what I want to share today is, "What if many people take negative movements when suffering pressures and obstacle?" Most importantly, do you know there are many people leading their lives in tragedy due to negative childhood experiences?

If you are interesting in knowing how come a person will be impacted easily because of the childhood experiences, please click this link. (https://www.twreporter.org/a/adverse-childhood-experiences) It is called "Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), which is one of the largest investigation of childhood abuse and neglect and later-life health and well-being. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been contributed to this research for over 3 decades. It has been traced back to 1980s; [the drop rate of participants at Kaiser Permanente's obesity clinic in San Diego, was about 50%. Despite all of the dropouts successfully losing weight under the program. Felitti, head of Kaiser Permanente's Department of Prevention Medicine in San Diego, conducted interviews with people who had left the program, and discovered that a majority of 286 people he interviewed had experienced childhood sexual abuse.]－source from Wikipedia. Actually, most of people do have once suffered bad childhood experiences. If you have ever read articles related to sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental neglect, parental separation, and so on, you will find out that some people even cannot be relieved from past experiences; they have numerous conflicts in their mind, which they are hard to reveal the secret and the sorrow to other people. What's more, those childhood experience would impact their health deeply. 

According to the ADC study, those people with ACE are more strongly associated with adulthood high-risk health behavior such as smoking, drug abuse, stray, cancer, chronic diseases, shorted lifespan, etc. Without any doubts, ACE would definitely a crucial issue in every country, let along to your friends around you, or your self. We should take it seriously. In my opinion, in addition to the treatment for adults, we should start from parents and children themselves, some perceives and values are not conveyed comprehensively. If the government begins to regard it as a severe problem, and people start to raise their awareness of it, I think the related classes are required for everyone. Therefore, that's why I have considered that teachers can either rescue or damage one's future. Whether the trend of the world will turn toward ACE issue or not, I still help somebody is go ahead concerning this problem.
