Silent treatment is a mental abuse

  So, imagine you're playing with your best buddy, but suddenly they stop talking to you completely. They don't say a word, they ignore you, and it goes on for a long time. That's what we call the "silent treatment." Now, the silent treatment can be like a hidden kind of hurtful action. It's like using silence instead of words to make someone feel sad or upset. When someone does this to you on purpose, it can be like a mental abuse, which means it's hurting your feelings and emotions inside your mind. When people treat you this way, it makes you feel excluded, lonely, and confused about what you did wrong. Everyone deserves to be treated kindly and with respect, and using the silent treatment is not a good way to solve problems or disagreements. Remember, it's always important to talk about our feelings and communicate openly when something bothers us. If you ever feel like someone is giving you the silent treatment, it's okay to tell a grown-up yo...
