Domestic Violence

During the assembly today I had no strong feelings of boyfriend and girlfriend abuse. The presentation delivered by the woman was very informative but most of the stuff I already knew about and the rest I didn't really care about because I have no history of abusing or being abused in a relationship and I don't plan on having one in the future. Sure the subject about some one getting injured or even killed is a sad subject but I am not that saddened about it because there are more important issues that are going on in the world, having a bad relationship is not a pressing issue that everyone must turn their attention to. I am not at all for people getting abused by some one else.

As for the laughing today, some people might have been laughing because it made them feel uncomfortable so they relieve the feeling by trying to make it into a positive one by cracking a joke. Not all student can be classified as being disrespectful and pathetic for not knowing how to deal with their emotions properly in that situation.

While I was listening to the woman speak it was not very enjoyable to hear about those sad stories because it kind of made me feel guilty in a way even though I never did anything, I never liked these kinds of presentations. Today was not my first time having to hear about how teenagers or young adults get abused by other family members or their partner. I have seen and read enough of those kinds of stories to understand that it is wrong so I don't really need to sit through another any time soon.

As for my personal life, as I said I have no history with abuse to that degree but I have been hit a couple times by a parent but I don't consider it abuse because I understand that what I did deserved a punishment. For generations parents have been hitting their children when they get to a certain point of disobedience and I think that is perfectly fine, as long as they don't go overboard by causing emotional scars or even physical ones. I bet most people now a days do not hit their children because they believe it will traumatize them for life but I'm not saying that violence is the answer, I'm just saying some times it is the answer when they do not obey verbal discipline.
