Comments like “I don’t think Chris would just a hit a girl like that. She had to do something or say something out the way for him to really hurt her.

Today’s gossip magazines are filled with news of R&B singers Chris Brown and Rihanna. Over the weekend 19-year-old Chris Brown allegedly assaulted his 20-year-old girlfriend, Rihanna. Apparently they got in to an argument in their car that ended up with them physically fighting in the street. By the time police arrived on the scene Rihanna had “horrific” contusions, a split lip, and a bloody nose.
Unfortunately dating violence isn’t as rare as we might think (or at least hope). But there isn’t a lot of education on the matter. Our teens have sex education class that teaches them about their bodies …read more
