Mr. Yerkes English 9 May 2016 Annotated Bibliography: Dating Violence First article~ The Meaning of Yes, by Emily Bazelon (Bazelon, Emily. "The Meaning of Yes." New York Times Magazine. 26 Oct. 2014: 13-14. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 17 May 2016.) In today’s society, many think that it’s okay to just go ahead and do something. Most don’t think about what could happen if you just sat back and thought about what you’re going to do, or maybe ask the other person. Young adults nowadays say, “Asking, ‘are you OK with this?’ doesn’t have to be uncomfortable...” It’s sorta sad to think that some parents never told their kids “No”, that they think everything’s okay. When you’re making dinner and your kid comes up asking over and over for a cookie, and at the end you say yes is teaching them something bad. You may be at fault if you never put your foot down and say “No” Second article~ Dating Abuse Now Digital, Teens Report, by Donna St. George (St. George, Donna. "Dating Abuse Now Digital, Teens Report." Washington Post. 22 Feb. 2013: A.7. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 17 May 2016.) Many people report, not being abused in public, but on the internet. If you so much ass say one wrong thing, you could set off a whole group of people. Or if you're dating someone, they could blackmail you into doing things you don't want to do. There are some cases where, ¨more than 25 percent of those who dated said their love interests threatened or harassed them online...¨ That's one fourth of the people asked, that means a lot of people are being forced into relationships they don't want. Another scary thought is, how many of the people that said they were in a healthy relationship are actually lying because they could be afraid to tell someone. Some even say that, ¨It's another tool abusers can use to be relentless.¨ Technology may be doing some good in the world, but it does have it's downfalls. Third Article~When Teen Relationships Go Bad, by Elvira Cordileone (Cordileone, Elvira. "When Teen Relationships Go Bad." Toronto Star (Toronto, Canada). 13 Aug. 2009: N.5. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 17 May 2016.) Most teen relationships start out good, but can turn south very fast. Many believe that some teens think their at fault for this sour turn of events.While some think that their abusive relationship is normal. None of them truly know what it means to be in a good, healthy relationship because they have never had one. Teen relationships can be a fresh young puppy love, but may turn left into a road of thorns. Fourth Article~To Prevent Teen Dating Violence, Some States Push Education, by Jen F. Some teacher think that they can help stop more bad teen relationships by teaching them like sex-ed. That may be a good idea, and it can help make some pre-existing abusive relationships stop. Many teens are young and stupid, to put it briefly, so they don’t know what a good relationship is. While teachers can help them by teaching them what’s right and what’s wrong, they can never be there every step of the way. Fifth Article~ Sexting Called 'New Norm' for Teens Some people participate in this new thing called “ sexting”, where you send nudes to each other. In the past research they discovered that those involved in cyberdating have participated in sexting. A experience researcher states, “include your partner checking you where you are, putting you down, making you do things you didn't want to do.” Which means that some are being forced into the roles of “cyberdating”. It’s even harder nowadays to avoid people on the internet, for they can always find you. Via your friends that mean no harm, or your enemies that do mean harm, they can always have tabs on your “relationship”. Megan Fitzpatrick Mr. Yerkes English 9 period 5 May 19, 2016 Dating Violence Now a days many teens are starting to experience violence when the get into a relationship. Most don’t feel the need to talk about what’s happening to them, because they think it’s normal. In some articles reporting on this they state that most teens experiencing dating violence don’t know what it means that someone says “no”. While some think that it’s the lack of education that’s the cause of this, and their trying to make classes about dating violence, it’s really common knowledge that parents should be the ones teaching their kids how to treat their respected partners. Most people don’t even know that their in a violent love affair. Some teens are just plain pure, they don’t know that they could be involved in a violent relationship. In the article, “When Teen Relationships Go Bad” by Elvira Cordileone, she states that most teens think that their in a normal relationship, or will experience it. She says that, “...experts warn many will endure some level of aggression or even violence.” Which means that many do experience it and will not break up at the first sign of aggression. Cordileone consults a psychology major, Sharon, and she states that, “Girls in abusive relationships often blame themselves for their boyfriends' behaviour...A boy woos a girl and gets her to care. Once she's committed, the put-downs and insults begin...They patch things up and the situation improves for a time. But soon the aggressive behaviour resumes.” Most partners in a relationship will blame themselves for their partner becoming more and more aggressive. When in reality they are being used by their partners, and to help this to be stopped is only experience on relationships. While some other teens just don’t know the meaning of No. They were raised with everything in the palm of their hand. In the article, “The Meaning of Yes,” by Emily Bazelon, goes down to the problem that teens show nowaday. Bazelon interviews some young adults at a local college, and some of them have experienced some dating violence, but have good advice for the younger teens wanting to be in a relationship. A young man says, “Asking, ‘are you OK with this?’ doesn’t have to be uncomfortable...” and it really doesn’t have to be. Some teens think that if someone says “yes” to a date, that means saying yes to everything. When it doesn’t, “yes” just means, “Yeah I would like to get to know you a little better.” But, then there are some teens that think that it’s normal to have a one night stand, both boys and girls , and that’s not really true. On the other hand, many teachers want to teach a class that teaches students how to treat each other in a relationship properly. They think that having this class, much like sex-ed, will teach them right from wrong. In the article, “To Prevent Teen Dating Violence, Some States Push Education,” by Jen F. they state that, “About 1 in 10 high school students who dated in 2013 reported being physically or sexually abused by a partner during the past year...”. While in reality it shouldn’t be teachers that have to teach this to their students, it should be common courtesy taught by parents. Many don’t think that they should be the ones that have to teach their kid this because it might be awkward, but it’s a necessity. In conclusion, many teens are being put through the harsh reality of relationships not even knowing they’re in one. Then some think that the teachers should be the ones to teach them right from wrong, when really it’s the parents responsibility to teach them the true meaning of yes and no.
