It seems that "everyone" is talking about domestic violence these days. The latest person to try to bring awareness to teen dating violence and abuse is Tyra Banks. She aired a show 3 days ago centering around teens in abusive relationships and offering tips to help others become safe.
Her focus was on helping teens to make positive changes in their lives. In my opinion, many of these discussions are good - if not only for the fact that "dating violence" or "domestic violence" is being acknowledged, recognized and deemed important enough to discuss. Even if I or you do not agree on everything that is being said - at least it is raising awareness of the issue and the message that there is help!
I want to emphasize several resources that Tyra's show mentioned:
The National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline1-866-331-9474 or log on to, loveisrespect.org
Loveisnotabuse.com If you are someone you know are a teen victim of dating abuse, visit Love is Not Abuse for valuable resources.
Domestic Violence Center, Cleveland: Helpline 216-391-HELP or www.domesticviolencecenter.org

Hi Ms. Johanek,
I did see the show. I'm so glad that the word is getting out. From Tyra to Oprah. I have two girls and we've been threw Domestic Violence.
I'm Laura. I came down the other week and met with Laura and gave her a booklet about domestic violence experience.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to see you. Hopefully one day we'll met again. If you get a chance, I want you to check out my blog:
