In Love And In Danger


Abusive relationships are bad for everyone. I want to make a campaign to make people more aware of what goes on in an abusive relationship and to show them how bad it gets and hopefully convince people to try and help. Abuse has been going on for a long time and has to be stopped.

Alot of Teens risk being in abusive relationships. According to the u.s centers of disease control and prevention, one in four teenagers report being verbally, emotionally, physically, or sextually abused in a dating relationship. There are many types of abuse including: kicking, punching, throwing, beating, and assault with a gun or anyother deadly weapon. Most people face serious medical conditions due to the beatings they receive.

When teens are in high school they look forward to romance and puppy love but thats when they get into abusive relationships and everything turned upside down.

Ways to tell whether your in an abusive relationship or not: 1) Does he/she try to tell you what to wear ? 2) Does he/she get jealous when you'd rather hang out with friends instead of him/her ? 3) Does he/she try to force you to do things that your not comfortable with ? 4) Does he/she blame you when things go wrong? 5) Does he/she blow up your phone wondering where you are and who your with? 6) Does he/she put u down in front of others ? 7) Lastly has he/she ever hit, shoved, or pushed you ?  Many women die a year due to abuse. Abusers act of violence is mostly because of acts of violence or because of family. Abusers also fear abandonment. They don't like to be alone so they try and force women to stay by scaring them.After most of the women leave they are soo scared they fear that even if they are in a shelter there husbands or partners will find them and they are fearful of there lives everyday.

The CDC’S ( center for disease control) national intimate partner and sexual violence survey found that in the u.s approximately 1.3 million women were raped and it also reported that 1 in 3 women have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in there lifetime. 3 to 4 million women are beaten in their homes each year by their husbands, ex-husbands, or male lovers.

Teens use cellphones, computers and more to hurt one another when they are in abusive relationsips. Young girls and women often do not know how to get out of an abusive relationship because of lack of self-esteem, guilt, and they are scared to stand up to there boyfriends But the Kao can help. The kristina abuse organization stops abuse and makes people more aware of what's going on in abusive relationships. The symbol for the kristina abuse organization is a purple ribbon that represents awarness of domestic violence.

My solution for domestic violence is to make an awareness campaign to let people know what goes on in an abusive relationship and how they can help stop them. I believe we should have stricter laws on abusive relationships and stricter punishments for people who are caught. These young women and men shouldn't have to have suffer and have there lives ruined by abusers its just WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! My awareness campaign would have banners and purple ribbons to show our cause.

Ways to help: 1) Volunteer at domestic violence shelters. 2) Make people more aware of domestic violence. 3) Donate or raise money for the women in domestic violence shelters.
