  1. Abusive Relationships By: Jessica HennesseyAshley Stewart Pd.3 1/6/12

  2. What is Abusive Relationships? • Many people are physically abused or hurt by the person they were or currently are in a relationship with.

  3. Who is affected by this and how? • Many people have been and still are affected by being or living in an household with abuse. • I found some of my information at: • http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/relationships/abuse.html • http://helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm • Kids may see the person being abused and might think it’s a good thing to do or they might think its right and the kids could also be abused to. Plus it is painful and you may find it hard to trust people afterwards and you may be scared for a long time. Everyone should care because people can be hospitalized and DIE because they may be scared or they really don’t want to leave.

  4. What Causes People to Abuse? • The root cause of abusive relationships is to feel powerful. It makes the abuser feel in control and gives them a sense of dominance. The reason I know that these are the reasons is because we all get anger and lash out and hitting something is something most people think about and they just want to feel bigger or don’t want you to leave! • Alcohol • Drugs • Anger (arguments) • Sexual or financial gratification

  5. This is a State Problem! • Dear Danny Short/Robert Venables, I am writing to address to you a problem we have been having for a really long time. Abusive relationships are a very touchy subject. Many people have been negatively affected by a partner physically abusing them. All over the world people are silently being abused and no one knows and those people can not help themselves because they are scared. If someone constantly hit you and physically hurt you wouldn’t you be scared to run. They think they might be found and hurt worse or children may be involved. Plus you could feel like that’s actually normal. Or that you wont find anything better. I think one way to make sure people don’t stay in an abusive relationship is to make laws stricter. For example jail time and an restraining order and if you violate the consequences should be higher. Like more jail time instead of just a fine. But also they should be watched like have a ankle monitor (tether) so when they get in a certain distance the police are contacted. Thanks you for listening to how I feel and I look forward to hearing your response. -Jessica Hennessey

  6. Best Three Solution • Stricter laws- jail time and an restraining order and if you violate the consequences should be higher. Like more jail time instead of just a fine. But also they should be watched like have a ankle monitor (tether) so when they get in a certain distance the police are contacted immediately. • Inform people- Convince people that telling someone is best, so that they can find a safe and thought out plan for a way to leave. • Support groups- If people could make an amazing support group that could help vent all the problems and find a way out of the painful situation.

  7. The BEST Solution • The best solution is to get stricter laws because then people might be safer when they leave which will lead them to leaving. Also the offender will stay away more and this might make it safer for everyone. This may lead to more people leaving and less people abusing. It’s the best because its safer. It wont cost and it’s pretty simple.
