The perception of domestic abuse, especially among young people, has become a hot topic after Chris Brown took home the Grammy for Best R&B Album at this year’s award ceremony. Some fans took to Twitter, not only forgiving the singer, but also claiming they would be willing to submit to abuse from Brown.
It’s still not clear if Chris Brown will face charges for allegedly assaulting and threatening his girlfriend, pop star Rihanna. But the incident provides an occasion to talk about the high rates of physical violence between teenaged romantic partners.
