Famous Abuse

Every week I sit on my couch with this "post new blog" page open trying to think up something to write about. It drives me absolutely insane because when I do not have access to a computer I have a million things that I would love to write about. Now that I'm finally here my mind goes absolutely blank. It is like this page makes me nervous.

One thing that is all over the place is the Rihanna and Chris Brown fiasco. I am not one to really get into celebrity gossip but that is insane! Chris Brown totally just ended his career. What was going through this guys mind to beat on his girlfriend and think he would get away with it? They are both constantly in the public eye. They blow their nose and it is all over the news. He's insane, I hope that was worth his career!

That was not the point of my entry though. I hope that if any good comes out of this situation it is that people become more aware that domestic abuse is out there. Most importantly that it could happen to anyone. No matter how famous, prominent, or good you think the person is it is still possible. People should take a closer look into domestic abuse and that it may not even just be physical. Verbal abuse is just as bad. People tend to turn their head in abuse situations, feeling that is none of their business. Which I can somewhat understand but I feel that privacy is a lame excuse to allow it to happen. Someone you know and love is being hurt either physically or emotionally. No woman or man deserves any type of abuse.
