domestic violence

During this assembly I wasn't paying much attention because none of that topic had to do with me. In the presentation she talked about "red lights" to beatings. It defiantly showed us how much we didn't even know about domestic violence or how much it happens. Before this presentation I didn't how big of a problem It is or how much people make a big deal out of it.
     First, I didn't believe a lot of the things she said such as that 1 in four people are going through domestic violence issues. Or the rest of the statistics she was saying. I didn't feel like a lot of them were true but just more to persuade us about how bad the topic is. I did feel bad for her when she said she experimented a lot of domestic violence when she was young, going in detail of how and when this happened.
     Second, I liked how she talked about the warning signs of domestic violence or what to look out for, because It gave the kids to think about there personal life. A lot of the rest I didn't really listen because It was mostly statistics  that I thought were completely wrong. I also didn't like how she said get your parents involved but a lot of the times getting your parent involved will just make things worse.
     Third, I was very surprised when she started showing all the girls who have died due to domestic violence. What was even more scary is that those all happened in this county too. So it proves it happens everywhere.
