What I Already Know About My Topic

Domestic violence has been occurred since the beginning of time. The problem is seen in various age groups. For example, parents are seeing that their teenagers are in abusive relationships.   There is no gender gap for abuse to occur and can happen to females or a male in heterosexual or homosexual relationship. Also, it has been seen in many races and cultures throughout the world. It does not matter what a person’s economic situation might be for abuse to occur.  Abuse can be mental or physical. Mental abuse pertains to the breakdown of self-esteem and the emotional worthiness of the individual. Physical abuse may involve inflicting bodily injury.  Subsequently, abuse can lead to a person either hurting themselves or their abuser, but more than often, the abuser is the one who usually harms the victim.  Support programs have been organized to offer shelter, counseling services, legal protection, and etc. Teenagers can go to the school guidance counselors or psychologists to discuss problems that they are having with difficult relationships.

  1. Your blog is coming together well. It has a lot of potential to be great if you continue on the path that you are going. This topic can change the situation that some teenagers are in and some teens will realize the real dangers that they could be in if they are in a relationship where they are abused verbally and physically. Keep doing what you are doing because it will affect a lot of teens and maybe even adults. Good job.
