Emotional and Physical Abuse in Twisted and Real Life

Throughout Twisted, Tyler (the main character) is verbally and emotionally abused by his father. Eventually, it gets to the point where Tyler feels he has no worth and has nothing to live for and decides to kill himself. In modern times, we often hear horror stories about parents physically abusing their children. However, what about the millions of other kids and teenagers who are being emotionally abused? Where are their stories? And where is the line between discipline and abuse?

    Here's the thing... there is no line. It's all about how the abused or "disciplined" feels. If they are willing enough to report it, obviously it's thought of as abuse. But if they just let it fly, the parents will just continue with it. The issue isn't an issue until somebody speaks out about it.
