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 while in school and also outside of school. 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 didn't 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. studies have actually shown that males are getting abuse as much as females, but more of the reports are reported by female. with that, male shouldn't be neglected in this issue. they should be able to seek help without any shame or guilt. Before my research I've always thought that the majority of the victim were female, but female are just as violent as any male.
From my research I realized that anyone can be a victim. A person can look strong and it seems like they're handling the situation very well. In an abusive relationship the victim can look fine one day but anger progress, there's a cycle when it comes to these kind of relationship, the abuse will eventually be more harmful and even fatal if the victim don't push themselves away from these relationship.
