October is upon us. And everyone knows what awareness month it right? Domestic Violence Awareness month. Ha! Breast Cancer Awareness month was the first thing you thought of. And it's okay, it's a disease and can be researched and a cure can be found (eventually. hopefully.) For the past couple of months, I have written about this because domestic violence can be fixed, you can make sure that it doesn't happen. With breast cancer, you can't stop it because we don't know how it works. You can take steps to prevent it, so women, take care of yourselves please. Guys, go out and buy some Yoplait yogurt and send in those pink tops and think that you are helping out.
Domestic violence is just about the worst thing in the world. Just about. There are other things that are worse. Murder and...and....and thats about it. Sexual violence is up there too. I just can't wrap my mind around why people can do anything like this. With domestic violence, I think it is something that gets swept under the rug in our society. I'm not saying that our society thinks it's okay, but I'm certain that it is such a frequent occurrence that most people don't blink an eye at it when it is reported on the news.
You want to do something to help people in domestic violence situations? Donate to a local women's shelter, the YWCA is a great organization that is throughout the entire country and even the world!
Donate and feel great about yourself. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
