reflection ENTRY 4 DRAFT 2

throughout my research i was very surprised to find out that in the article by Stader, fifty percent of high school student who are involved in a relationship experience some sort of abuse from their partner. I always knew that violence occurs in these setting, but i didn't know the statistic was that high. It was shocking to me that school authority this take this as serious as they should. the student spend most of their days at school, why shouldn't it be a place where they are guaranteed safety and security.

also a lot of boys involved in relationship are abused by their girlfriends either physically or emotionally. they're the one who don't report these situation or seek help from outsider. society expect men to be tough and brave and handle any situation, which makes it hard for them to report it, they'll feel some sort of shame or they think that society will judge them for getting beat up by a female and telling on them.

  1. I understood the first part of your sentence , you learned how common dating violence is but the latter part is hard to understand. Are you saying that the violence happens at school and school authority doesn't take it serious? Should the school be a place of guaranteed safety, or do you mean everywhere. I would elaborate more on the last paragraph, what do you feel about that being the case?

  2. I get what you are saying in the first paragraph. But are you saying that dating violence occurs at school? Where the guy or girl verbally or physically abuses their partner? Or is it that teens spend eight hours a day at school. So faculty and staff at high schools should be aware of what is going on in the schools? For the second paragraph I would say something about how girls are mainly the ones that are getting abused in dating violence but however boys are being abused too in their relationships.
