Why school should get involved Entry 2-draft 1

We spend most of our days in school right? so why shouldn't school be held responsible to teach students on how to develop healthy relationship. The majority of teens in high school are dating and almost half of that percent are experience some sort of violence in their relationship. Teenagers most likely do not have the skill or knowledge to make the right decision by themselves. They may not know what a healthy relationship look like and what an unhealthy relationship. They cannot distinguished the differences, so they should be able to seek help and guidance from the adults at the school. since in high school is when we really learn to make decision by ourselves, why is that there no program or attention given to this issue when it is very common in this environment. From an article by David Stader, he conducted a research and data showed that over a quarter of that were female victims who reported violence in their relationship. females are more open and likely to reporting such abuse than male. I agree with this article completely on that students should be educated on relationship and that the teachers should also be able to recognize signs of an unhealthy relationship and provide them help.

how it all started Entry 1- draft 1

Teen Dating Violence seems to be very common nowadays. I chose this topic because I wanted to find out about the result of being involved in these kind of situation. Another reason why I was lead to this topic was because I myself was involved in this kind of relationship. It was definitely very unhealthy and stressful even if punches or hits wasn't being thrown, just being in an environment where you're verbally hurt can do a lot of damage. I wanted to do this topic to share the experience that I had and also to shine lights to a subject where not a lot of thoughts are put into. 1 out of 4 teens are involved in an abusive relationship at least once (stader). that's a quarter of our youth population; meanwhile there aren't many therapy and help that these teens can seek.
