What is Shame - Coping with Shame?

Shame is when someone says you've done something wrong and you feel
embarrassed and humiliated. Even though you haven't done anything you still feel like you have.
This is especially bad if someone like the police are involved, you don’t feel as thought you can answer back as it will get you into more trouble and bring shame to your family name.

How does shame get between you and your rights?

Shame stops you form asking questions and standing up for yourself.

What's the Cure for Shame?

Shame is complicated. It's about feeling good about yourself, like you don't have to put up with stuff.
Knowing your rights is important too because that you can say "that's not right I don't have to do that, or you can't do that" and you know that you're in the right and they're in the wrong.
