Make It Stop...

Soooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of hearing about Chris Brown & Rihanna. I think all those people out there who are saying that she is setting a bad example for girls out there and that he should go to jail and what not are not thinking realistically.

She is a person just like everyone else first and foremost, not matter what standards the public holds her up to. None of that mess matters. In the real world people make decisions whether good or bad everyday! They have the right to make those decisions and to let things play out. If you are parenting your child correctly you should be telling them about their self worth and how important they are and that they should never abuse someone or allow someone to abuse them. We all know that you can talk til you are blue in the face, most people who are in a relationship where they have been hit before do try to work it out. It usually takes time or something MAJOR to happen for them to make the decision to leave. Soooooooooooo I ask all these smart people out here talking about the example that she is setting how do you expect this 21 year old female who lives, and loves, and hurts, and learns, just like the rest of us to be any different than the average person on the street, and how do you fault her for that? If your child needs a celebrity to look up to as their MAIN role model in their life then you need to be asking YOURSELF some serious questions.

The one thing that I find to be really interesting in the whole thing though is how quickly people are to write him off. That man is young, very young. With counseling, and education and soem real work on his part you don't know what he is capable of accomplishing. From what I understand he also has witnessed this stuff in his background and from a counseling perspective most people do go to the extremes once they've been a part of or witnessed trauma. You either run clear away from it or dive right into it. Until you deal with your issues, and put the past behind you it is difficult for anyone to not repeat it! So what makes this man any different?

I think a lot of people need not throw rocks in a glass house. We have all made bad decisions, and dumbass mistakes, we have all done something we said we never would. We all have at least one thing that if we could do it again we would try to do it differently. The difference is that we aren't famous and don't have our faces plastered everywhere and have a bunch of idiots holding us to an unrealistic standard, when we do our shit. So lay off!!!
