So our talk about a domestic abuse was really eye opening. Its something I have never experienced but I have really strong emotions against it and I think there should be harsh punishments for people who are physically violent and there should be places that people can go that are in abusive situation. I know there are places but I think they should be advertised more or something. After we watched the video in class of concrete angel I started thinking about the song Alyssa Lies so I got online and watched it. The video wasn’t as sad as the concrete Angel song but it was sort of neat how they made it. If you don’t know the song it is about a little girl that comes home mad because her friend Alyssa lies to everyone about her parents abusing her and the dad realizes he needs to do something about it so Monday he went to the school to tell the school about the abuse and when he gets there everyone is upset and he was too late. Alyssa had passed away. It is such a sad song. The video started out with a teacher telling his high school students to watch this video then write about it. Though the video it shows the kids reactions and thing and one girl gets up and leaves the room and goes to the hall way and is crying and her teacher comes out and talks to her and she is abused and decides to do something about it now. Also at the end it said that they really played this song in some schools and kids did realize that they should do something about the abuse they are dealing with. I like that they showed that all ages are dealing with domestic violence and all ages are hiding it
