The topic that made me think that I should change or help out is domestic violence. The Power Point that the student should the class was powerful and made me think how I can change it. If there was away that I could change all the issues going on with teens and domestic violence in relationships. I kinda know some stuff about domestic violence because my cousin was being abused by her father and no one in our family knew, but one night I was spending the night and the feeling between him and her was different than when they hung out with us. Secrets can be hidden behind closed doors and sealed up tight and tried to hide it it but sooner or later they will come out. This is why I thought really hard about the topic domestic violence.

Built up Pain

The topic Ive been researching for independent writing is domestic violence.I have learned many interesting facts like the rate of abusers are higher than the victim. Also women are not the only people who are abused men can also be the victims.You never know who is being abused in a relationship it can be your neighbor or your best friend.Most abusers have low self esteem and no confidence that anyone will like them in a relationship, so they take drastic measures. The best thing is to get out the relationship quickly but this doesn't always happen soon it could take a day to a month or years. After, getting out of the relationship they go to therapy or figure out other ways to get rid of the past. As long as the victim has lots of people around them to support and protect them they will get back on their feet soon. I am still learning more and more about domestic violence every day and can't wait to learn more.

The Force of a Hit

The independent reading I have been doing in class is about domestic abuse. Things I learned was that being a abuser is a physiological emotion because if a women or man sees someone in there household abusing someone else according to domestiecviolence.com there is a 1 in 10 chance that they will grow up and be abuser their selves. Abuse isn't just a physical thing it also is emotional,sexual, and psychological. Often abusers have low self-esteem. Abusers often try to hide the abuse by causing injuries that can be hidden and do not need a doctor. Abuse is isn't just a accident even though the abuser might just it only happened once they will find an excuse to abuse that person again. I have learned many things about domestic violence so far and can't wait to learn more.
