Campaign Against Dating Violence – Chris Brown and Rihanna

Mar

Since I originally wrote Chris Brown and Rihanna: Emotions Gone Wild! a lot has occurred. Millennials continue to be outraged, but thankfully, the incident is raising awareness about teen dating violence issues.

The teen organization Do Something has launched the 1 in 3 Campaign. As part of the effort they’ve created a PSA that graphically reenacts the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident. The reenactment is based on the police report.

Another part of the campaign enables people to request a set of free bracelets. The set comes with two black bracelets and one blue (representing the 1 in 3 teens who experiences dating violence).

If you are the parent of a teen or if you know a teen, please, talk to them about this issue. It’s out of hand.
