Chris and Rihanna – Abuse is Never Okay
I’m sure you’ve read by now that R & B Singer Chris Brown alleged beat his singer girlfriend Rihanna. No it’s not fiction, but real-life drama dealing with domestic violence. When I first heard about the situation with Chris and Rihanna, I was shocked; but I shouldn’t have been because you can never look at an abuser and see that he is an abuser. Abusers have a way of showing the world one side and the one they are involved with their dark side.
Most of the teen girls I know love Chris Brown. If you click on the girls name on the Lip Gloss Chronicles site, you will notice his name has a line drawn through it. Under no circumstances should a man or boy be hitting a woman or girl. Although celebrities shouldn’t be looked at as role models, reality is, a lot of them are. Hearing about this situation has really hurt some teens. The only positive thing about the situation is that it has opened up dialogue about domestic violence.
As I said before, It is never okay for a man to hit a woman. Love is not abuse. If a man hits you once, he’ll hit you again. For the young ladies who may be reading this blog post, do not under any circumstances stay in a relationship with a boy who verbally or physically abuses you. Do not get in the habit of excusing bad behavior. You are worth more than that. There’s not enough “I’m sorry” to excuse someone pushing you, hitting you, etc.
If a boy tries to push you, hit you, or anything that would be considered abuse, tell an adult about it. If you find yourself out and it happens and you get scared, do not hesitiate to call the police. Do whatever you have to do to protect yourself.

Thanks for this Sister Shelia,
I reinforce this to girls all the time…don’t allow it,ever, because you are better than that and deserve more, no matter how much you think you love him or how fine he is or how many times he says he is sorry…don’t ever allow it…
Love the sight!
Smooches!

I’ve known girls who thought their boyfriend’s anger and striking them was a sign that he “really cared about her”. No way! It is a sign that he really cares only about himself, about what he wants, and about his ability to control her and her every thought, every decision, and every need. That is a flashing neon sign that love is the very last thing he’ll ever offer or bring her. If your boyfriend even jokes that he’ll “hurt” you take him seriously and run girl, run in the opposite direction. He is not the one for you!
This topic is hot with my students. It is never okay to hit another person period. I stress this to my students and unfortunately this is the reality for many of them–domenstic violence. Education is our tools to reach them.
