Dating violence is rampant and “It’s Time To Wake Up and Smell the Coffee” for parents, educators and females of all ages and our communities. Get your heads out of the sand and stop thinking, “it won’t happen to me”, “my daughter is bright/smart-no one would ever harm her”. The reality is…..anyone can be a victim and the sooner that everyone realizes this and starts to take pro-active measures and step up to educate and train our females in all respects the sooner we can make a solid attempt to stop abuse. Education that she will have the rest of her life, SHE IS WORTHY AND DESERVES IT. You (parents and girls) will have to take the first step to personal safety.
The abuse that transpires is not the victim's fault. Who is to blame is the abuser, the system, parents, our communities, our education departments (middle schools/high schools/colleges). Yes, I’ve said it and there’s no sugar coating. We as a society have so much at our fingertips to at least attempt to cut abuse off at the chase that is not taken advantage of. Ask yourself, why is that?
Abusers fail to see that they have a problem or issue; parents fail to see, turn their backs on the possibility that their son has an issue with anger management and the possibilities of where it may lead. Our communities take a back seat, many don’t want to “get involved….it’s a family issue” – NO IT’S A DAMN COMMUNITY ISSUE. We have an EPIDEMIC on our hands parents. And, your child is not surrounded by a bubble that will protect her for the rest of her life. It is your job to provide the most available education in all areas for her in order to live a long and healthy life.
As for school systems…..well, it time for looking outside of the box and to make a decision. Not one school is sterile whereas dating violence is not happening in the halls, in the parking lots, dorms rooms, or campus apartments and even homes. Educators…it is your job to get involved. Promote to educate our youth, females and males about all of the above. And, take a step further EVERYONE………..GET THE FEMALES TRAINED IN ALL ASPECTS OF PERSONAL SAFETY. Implement the training into their daily lives, it’s never too late. Education that they will have forever just like math, english and driver’s ed.
A female does not have to take a “martial arts class” years upon years to learn how to protect and defend herself. Learning AWARENESS is the FIRST STEP OF ANY FORM OF SELF-DEFENSE. However, we have to educate about awareness, introduce intuition and how to embrace it, safety tips as well as how they can use their bodies to protect and defend themselves “REALISTICALLY” if they should ever encounter a physical altercation. This education is readily available to our young people and it’s high time to make it happen.
Too many women are dying at the hands of their abusers and assailants; TIME’S UP……….the cycle of violence must be stopped. A female can be educated to heighten her awareness whereas all of her senses come to full alert. What is the difference between an healthy and unhealthy relationship. Males must be educated as well by men who take a stance in the arena of Men Against Violence.
