Violent Love.

During my research of domestic violence I was utterly shocked as I read the stories of young girls abusive relationships, Scarcely I've also already come across the stories of some young men. Each relationship follows a cycle, there is not one story I've read that was an exception. I read about this cycle first on Domesticviolence.org    It describes the beginning forms of abuse to the process of forgiving, and why those victims forgive. Often because the partner promises never to do it again and buys them gifts.

The Pros of my topic are definitely scarce as domestic violence isn't a pro. Although the pros to researching this topic include a lot of information, real stories written by the victims, and awareness to those in need. While researching my topic i was able to come across a wide variety of research. my favorite source is the Domestic violence.org with its link posted above. This is because it has such detail and allows you to understand what goes on in both the mind of the victim and the abuser. Another pro about my research is that many people who have been through this abuse in one period of their lives have posted stories on sites like this one Abuse Stories. This is a good source of information because it shows how exactly these people were feeling, how they were put into this position, and why they felt they couldn't leave their abuser. Another great thing about researching domestic violence is it allows you to become aware of signs of an abuser or if someone is in an abusive relationship. By doing this you can not only prevent begging a relationship with an abusive person but also knowing how to get out if you ever find yourself in one. It may also help you spot a friend in trouble.

The cons of my research is definitely fewer. When reading the stories of abuse it really makes you wish you could reach out to these people. It really dampens your mood. Other than this I'm very happy with my topic because its both interesting and I feel its something I'd like to share with my class to help teach those at a young age how to get out of an abusive relationship early in life so they will have those skills. Also so they know its okay to ask someone for help.
