OK, like everyone else, I have been checking out the various statements and info that have come out about the incident last week. They are both young kids who have experienced life very fast, moreso than most people. That being said, there is no excuse for a man to put his hands on a woman. And if a guy does touch a woman, she has permission to give as good as she gets.
I had two experiences in high school where a guy put his hand on me. One, the guy was at my house and wanted to turn the TV. I asked him not to since I was watching the program. He pushed me down and snatched the remote out of my hand and sat on the couch like no big deal. Needless to say, it was on after that. We got into a full fledged fight - hitting, punching, kicking and slapping. Once it was over, I put him out of my house and his boyfriend card was destoyed. The other happened on Valentine's Day - a boy that liked me had just come up and gifted me with a huge box of candy. He was a little goofy and shy but very sweet. Well, he had an adversarial relationship with one of my friends...they would make fun of each other in a brother/sister type of way. My friend came walking up, said something to him, he laughed, I laughed, and then he got mad because I had laughed. He then hauled off and kicked me as hard as he could. Mind you, this is in the middle of the hall in high school on Valentine's Day. Once I got over the initial shock and realized that he was apologizing and about to cry, I smacked him as hard as I could, told him we were through, took my box of candy and kept it moving. Now, back to the case at hand...
Chris has come out with his "I'm remorseful, I'm turning to God" statement and that's all fine and good. Everyone seems to turn to our Lord when they get caught up in some mess. Hopefully all parties involved will learn from this madness and they will both be able to move on into more productive relationships.
