[quote:91503e582a="Michael Lank"]Hi thefool,
That's a very nice, open post about the effects of experiencing violence as a child.
I think that what you describe in the last paragraph is a lovely example of how we can love someone without liking or condoning some of their behaviour.
Thanks, i just wanted to share a view, my own, where the child developed the oposite of condoning violence. |

When I was little my mom and dad allways fought too I never seen my dad hit my mom though. My sister and dad did allways mess with me which actully made me very angry and sometimes I got this temper and wanted to throw a chair at my sister but didn,t which I am glad I didn,t. Of course my mom was allways never home out on the street doing drugs and then she come home and sleep and fight with my dad yell fighting that is.
one night she took my dad truck and my sister with her and we woke up with a missing truck plus my missing sister of course my sister got abused when she was little and i mean bad too.
So really i had a rough life and I still have that temper too but I know that hiting is wrong infact I hate hiting and arugments but i can,t seem to get rid of my temper so I decide the best thing to do for now is to keep my mouth shut it keeps me out of trouble and others too.
I think it depands on the person rather they go to church or not and some other stuff too.
From what I know everbody has a history of stuff happening or alot of people at least and they see it happen some hate it and others follow what they parents did so they think it ok.
Parents set examples for they teenagers and kids that is one thing I know for sure. |

and yet all you people seem to miss one vita lflaw in this which is one of most important things l earnt during my hobbying research of psycholog,y that is, was the sampole accurate of young people as a whole.
My point, th esurvey took place in a magazine called sugar, whichi s something one of my sister reads. However it is aimed at a certain type of teenager, and a certai ntype of girl.
There are a huge percentage of people that odnt even read the magazin let alone take part in teh survey, i knwo girls who enjoy violence, who love it, i know girls who are violent, and the thing is, the magazine suagr tends to be read by people more likily to be in that situation because htey are passive.
It is is a symbol of teen culture, conformity and thus those that read it generally conform and already show a prevarelnce to be passive. Thus of course a higher percentage of girls will be beat on, because they do not have trhe will to change it, or the strenght to fight it. Becuase they confor, becasue they read the magazine.
I dont think this survey proves anything except that those that conform generally suffer more violence and accept it more. Not the best advertisemnt for society is it.
I am 18 and i am in a subcuolture as some would say ,, i am in to alternatvie things but more specifically i am myself, with all my flaws and feelings, and quite frankly i have no problem with hitting a girl, because i am not sexist. If agir lwas smaller then me i wold not hit her, if she had not done anythign i would not hit her, but hte same applies to a guy. If a guy starts on me in a bar i will defend myself and same applies to a girl.
The thing is, this survey is another oe of those surveys that tests the pepopel that confirms its point. IT isn't real research, its not prepared to accept a differnet answer then the one already laid out for it, thats why its in SUgar magazine, because thats where the right answers are.
With faith daniel |
