There was a young 18 year old girl who got killed a couple of days ago. she was running from her abusive boyfriend of two months and ran straight into another car and got hit, and than died. My heart hurts because i too was in a abusive relationship but i got out, got away, and by the grace of god im free.But i believe this young lady wanted to be free from him and he kept bothering her and now shes gone! Ladies if you are in abuse tell some one, never be alone, and do what it takes to get out for good! It took me 8 years to break free and im free. My heart goes out to this young lady and her family. May God bless and keep them.

So, what should you do you do if you are a teenage girl involved in a physically or emotionally abusive relationship? First and foremost, get out. Regardless of whatever threats your boyfriend may be slinging at you, your number one priority should be ensuring that you are safe. Get away from your boyfriend and stay away from them. It is important for you to recognize that continuing contact with this person is not healthy physically or emotionally. Every second that you spend with them, you are putting yourself at further risk. Do not fall into the trap of believing their false promises that they will never hurt you again or that they love you. When a person truly loves another person, they would never ever do anything that would physically, psychologically, or emotionally damage them

Abusive relationships are indeed tragic! they destroy so many lives unneedlessly. People who find themselves in these situations live with so much fear and pain and turmoil. It can make them desperate and lose faith in humanity. Nobody should have to live in such a relationship. there is help out there. you just have to reach out and take it.

That's too bad. I'm so sorry to hear that. The truth is there will be no abusers if there are no woman who let themselves to get abused. Oftentimes, we just don't get notice of the extent of the actions from our partners. we may sometimes interpret as jealousy, a sign of too much love, or just a simple punishment if we did something wrong. It is not right for anyone to simply hit us or make us follow what they tell us. I hope all the woman out there would consider this example to be something that would lead them to the right path. ^_^

this is tragic indeed. That is why girls have to carefully choose their partners or boyfriends. Boys can pretend to be nice and kind, to use you. They are, well pretty much scary! It took you 8 years to break freee???? That is so long. I feel so sorry for you, what a waste of life
