I read this article in ym about girls who were abused by their boyfriends. Thi sgirl named Christine's boyfriend told her who she could talk to, controlled her clothing, and even forced himself one her. He hurt her so bad that she bled. What really sickens me is that she would never tell anyone. Even after he repeatedly beat her face in, she had grown to think that she deserved this treatment because of his constant insults. It's sad...do they honestly think that these are happy relationships. That a person who loves you could treat you this way? This makes me sick.....

i feel bad that she didn't just leave the bf...

my one friend sort of just had this case. not as bad as the girl in ym did, but pretty bad. she was controlled in the way she dressed, acted, and talked. she kept saying she didnt leave him b/c she "loved him soooo much...." hmm. well anyway, recently this bf forced her to have sex w/ him - thats when she left him for good...despite the threats that he would commit suicide, etc. plus the parents split them up...

so, basically i hope the girl in ym finds the courage to leave him for good...or tell a parent so that he/she can split them up... i think that crap like this that happens in so-called relationships is just so pointless and devastating...

It happens. If you know anybody who's boyfriend hits her tell an adult NOW!

That's really sad. It's hard to think that someine would actually do that. How can they live with the guilt. It would be totally unbearable.

I'm going to be the bad guy today...sorry

I think abuse of women is wrong, but how many women/girls do you think lie? I sometimes wonder.
A friend of mine almost went to prison because a girl told her parents he beat and raped her. Of course what she didn't plan on was the rape test, she failed. She also had scratches on her, they did the finger nail swipe, and her own skin was under her nails...she did it to herself. I always wonderd why?? They were happy...

I dated a girl who cheated on me. I of course had some choice words for her, but I never touched her, in fact she told me over the phone...and I never talked to her again. About a year later alot of my friends started to turn on me. Someone finaly came out with it asking me how I could do what I did to her. I was shocked...I called her...her mom answerd and basically said she was going to have me killed if I ever called back. Her family loved me!! She lied about me...I lost friends, to this day people still think I beat her.

There are so many stories I could tell, I just don't think guys get a fair shake. And I know of plenty of guys who get beat sensless by girls, simply because they won't hit back. Sometimes I don't want to believe these articles I read, I think there are alot of girls with a flair for the over dramatic. I know this personaly....

I've been in an abusive relationship, a lot of people are right. Woman are scared to tell on their boyfriends...scared to death, atleast i was. He got mad at me one day, because I was hanging out with a guy friend i had/have. He ..got mad, and threw me into a brick wall.. i have a scar on my forehead because of it.. and because of him, i don't trust a lot of people anymore

I think that females who are abused are scared to tell other people because their boyfriends have threatend to kil them if they tell someone. Then they sometimes make themselves believe that their boyfriends actually love them.

that's not correct, iluvjp. It may be sad and sick, but it's not the only way these girls think they're going to find true love: this is the girl's true love, which is why she won't leave him even though he abuses her. It has nothing to do with the girl wanting to stay with him, but it has everything with the girl loving him. Love's not a choice that people make, as you can plainly see from women who stay with abusive husbands. Love happens and it's beyond our control, and although these girls might know it's not safe to stay with the guy they love, they are in love, and don't give a **** if it's safe or not.

Which also applies to homosexuals...

It is sad and sick, but some girls think this is the only way they'll find true love.
