Rhianna and Chris Brown
I read an article in Newsweek about domestic abuse, and the story on Rhianna and Chris Brown. This article makes a good point about how people all over are hearing about this and making "myths" about why Rhianna is staying with Chris after he beat her. People try to justify Rhianna's reasoning for going back to him, but what does that teach teenagers about relationships they are in? It let's people believe that abusive relationships are okay, because maybe I provoked it, or he's getting help now and he said he was sorry. If stars are making excuses for why they don't leave someone who abuses them, how many viewers are going to do the exact same thing Rhianna is doing?

wow thats crazy im sorry it dont matter if he is a big star or not if he was abusing her she needs to leave!
ReplyDeleteNikki - Good response! It takes women a long time, apparently, or at least some of us, to figure out that abusers never really stop...they just take a break now and then, to entice new victims.
