response to the violence and women

The topic of violence among couples is constantly looked at and brought up in many different subjects. For example not only has it been brought in english class, its a main topic that health teachers dicuss with their students. I personally think that it is very sad for anyone to have to deal with and abusive relationship not only females. There are some relationships where the female may abuse the male. I think that the abuse on a partner has increased throughout the years because as the years have gone on the different generations dont know as much as the ones before them, and may think its okay to do something that the other generations may look down upon.

From what I have observed many females that are in abusive realtionships are scared to get out. They are scared to tell their partner about something, so they dont tell them and keep to themselves. They may be scared as to how someone would react to something even if it is the smallest thing, and so they stay with the person because they dont know what to do or how to get help.

These realtionships are very unhealthy and no one should have to deal with anything as painful and being abused, verbally or physically.

  1. You point out how as a society we make the victim feel ashamed somehow for being abused, that in fact in many cases we support the abusive person. This should make us question some fundamentals about us as a culture.

  2. I agree with what you've said. Mosted abused people do keep the abuse to themselves, even though that deep down they know that what is going on is unhealthy and unfair to them. They just can't seem to find the courage to walk away.
