Domestic violence is a bigger problem than people realize. I think it happens more than people know because so many people try to hide it. If it takes 7 times for someone to leave their abusive partner, then I'm sure it takes a lot more for them to tell someone what is happening. It's scary to think that it's happening to so many people. There has been a lot of awareness lately since the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna situation. Tyra Banks has had a lot of awareness lately with teens and their abusive relationships.
Talking about socioeconomic diversity in class the other day helped me realize that things are getting tougher these days. My mom does pay for a lot of things, but now I'm trying to transition into paying for more of my own stuff, especially now that I have my own checking account. Since my parents are in the middle of a divorce, we have had to go down to a one paycheck income from my mom. It's tough having just that one income with a 3-person family. If I want anything extra I have to pay for it. Sometimes it can be tough having to pay for extra things, and not having the money for it because I can't work full-time and be a full-time student.
