- I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion that more abuse is happening now. I think more abuse is being reported now which is quite a different story. Looking back to when I was in high school (mid-eighties) I knew quite a few girls who were in abusive relationships (we even knew of girls who were being molested by their father). But we were so stupid at that age. We thought we had to manage it or be adult and stick it out. There is such a secretive streak in girls that age. I think the interesting follow up to this story would be to talk to women of all ages about abusive relationships they knew about or were in when they were teenagers.

- I am so glad someone finally pointed out how important one is raised when it comes to the result of what they can become when they grow up. Parenting is never easy, but its so important to let kids know why certain things should not be done as soon as they can comprehend words. They need the parameters to help guide them or else they will never have self-discipline or control.

- The other night I was watching this program "Bad Girls" and one of the girls made a comment that Rhiana deserved to get beat by Chris Brown, becouse she was a stupid B#%@h, and she must have sad something to make him angry, I know that the younger girls watch that program. That ignorant person is giving out the message to young girls, that what he did was alright. Becouse now she is with him. Now when he beats on her, (that sooner or later he will, abusers never change),I hope she has enough brain to press charges on him.

- People aren't being tought not to hurt other people and to not let other people hurt them. One more reason the country has gone crazy. No one is responsible for anything.

- Hmmm..... I know first hand from high school
2 girls turned moms before they graduated
1 girl turned 18, dropped out of school to become a stripper in NYC
1 girl "black eyed" by her female lover
6+ major guy fights over girlfriend situations (1 being me)
1 very upset girl after a party got out of hand and got more than she bargained for (they didn't get the cops involved, but the rumors were pretty scary)
oh, but wait!?....that happened back in the 1970's

- The highest risk age group for interpersonal abuse is now 14 - 44. Poor parenting is the primary cause. Abusers are made, not born, and the damage is usually done by the time the child is five. If parental abuse or negligence is serious enough, the child is brain damaged. He is organically incapable of feeling compassion, empathy, sympathy, love. It's all about him, and it always will be. In many cases, abuse is a life sentence for the abuser. He abuses for gratification and he can't help himself, so the abuse always gets worse because it takes more and more to satisfy him.
A quick way to test the potential for abuse in another person is to see if he or she will respect your right to say 'no'. Another quick test is to determine if the other person has any real friends or just acquaintances.
There are behaviors, habits, mind games, personas that most abusers employ in finding, trapping and abusing their victims. These are mostly counter-intuitive, but they can be learned and used in all walks of life. relationshipredflags.com - Reply to this comment
- Girls aren't being raised properly by a parent or guardian. Girls are raised to be controlled, dominated, abused, etc. by boys and to accept it as if it's part of their right of passage. Look at celebrities and how abusive they are towards females. Chris Brown did a boo-hjoo-hoo, I'm sorry bit after pummeling Rhianna. Rap glorifies the abuse and control of females. Females are made to believe that if they don't succumb or put up with barbaric and uncivilized behavior from their "men", then they'll end up without having one. Big deal. Lose the losers girls and you'll be better off without them.

- physical abuse is not limited to girls. That is a bias that is in vogue today, but think about the violence boys suffer at the hands of bullies and even girl friends but are too ashamed to "snitch"
This bias that says women are taking the beating is false. Men take the vast majority of the abuse in society in every theater. When will this social factory begin to get some balance? - Reply to this comment
- I would have to ask....What about the parents who spot a teen engaging in abusive behavior and react by taking the family to counseling? You would think this would be the appropriate thing to do but ...not the case, especially if their abusive FATHER is a military member because they will protect the career and not the children by diverting attention! Again, the abuse cycle will continue and move through the generations by avoiding the truth...the mold will never get broken!
