How to help, when you can't help?

Hello everyone, I am here with another article and another topic that is, in my opinion, very important.

Again, I had one very big break, but this time, I am here to stay!

Today's topic is sects and how to help all those people who are having problems with sects.

First of all I have to say that I am not a professional, and I cannot tell you how to defend yourself or other people from sects. Also, I cannot tell you how to pull someone out.

What I want to tell you here is that this is a problem that we should not turn our heads from. We have to know that there are many very dangerous sects, and that those are destroying lives of many people.

Sects are mostly focused to young people, and they are not strong enought to defend themselves.

People in sects know how to convince young ones to join them, and that is where everything starts. After they became members, everything goes very, very fast. They are very close to death, and their lives are about to fall apart. That is what we need to stop.

First of all, we have to pay attention to our children. Young people, who are smart, but not confident enough are targets of sects. Young people whill nothave enough confidence, if they do not have enough love and attention. That is why we need to give all our love and lots and lots of attention to them. We have to know what they are doing, who are their friends, where are they going, what are they reading...

After that, we need to talk a lot about sects, we need to aware children how dangerous they are. They need to know that everything about sects is dangerous and disgusting. Maybe, at first it seems all nice and fun, but it is not.

Sects are something like the house of the witch from "Hansel andGretel" fairytale. Before they got in, it seemed like house made out of candy, but when they got in, they saw that house is actually scary and ugly. It is the same with sects. At first it looks glamurous, full of accolades and success. When they get in, they see how terrible it is.

Next problem is that 'terrible' becomes their normal. The moment when it becomes terrible is close, but untill that moment, their mind is washed, and for them, all what they see there is normal. They accept it and they live it.

That is why we need to make close relationships to our children, so we can see if something strange happens to them, and also we can protect them from ''strange'' things that can happen to them.

That is all what I can tell as a piece of advice for prevention. Again, I am not a professional, I just want to talk about this because it is important, and I want to make people pay attention to this important topic.

Next thing that I would love to say is that there are many lines that you can call for help in many countries, and even if there is not such line in your country you can always call the police or a therapist.

So, if you notice that someone has a problem and it seems to you like a sect, you should call the professionals, you should ask someone who is sure that you should do, and how you can help. Even if you cannot help, you will help by calling someone, who know what to do.

There are people, who are studying about sects, whole their lives, and they know how to help others.

And, what all of us can do, is to talk more about this, and make easier for people with this problem, to solve it.

Here in Serbia, where I am from, we are not talking enough about sects, and we do not know enough about them, and I am sure that situation is the same in many other countries all around the world. We need more professionals, police should pay more attention and we need more hot lines for help.

That was all for this article, I would really love to see your opinion on this topic.

See you soon,
