I'm writing an argumentative essay about child abuse and its consequences, but I'm not sure what my thesis should be since I don't know what I'm trying to argue. Since child abuse is a problem and everyone knows that, it is a good argument. Have any ideas?

Answer:

A thesis you could use (that I just made up on the spot beside the numbers, I researched that part :) )

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know child abuse is a problem. There are over nearly 700,000 children in America who are abused every year. And worldwide there are an estimated of a billion children who experience violence every year. That's around half of the children around the world. Children who have dealt with abuse may stunt physical development and lead to psychological problems such as low self-esteem which could lead to later substance abuse. Another problem that they could face would be difficult for them to be able to trust anyone close to them. They might think that they would try to hurt due to the abuse in the past. They might have to go through therapy for a long time and it would be hard for them to be able to open up to others. Child abuse is wrong and it changes the child going through it drastically.

I hope that helps you with your thesis ! Good luck !
