Teens on Rihanna (my shining star) and Chris Brown

Teens were interviewed on CNN about their feelings on the domestic/dating violence between Rihanna and Chris Brown:

Something that really concerns me are the comments that I have heard around DC. Radio DJ’s have NOT been intervening when individuals have been calling in and making statements like “I wonder what she [Rihanna] did!?” and again we have the age old. . blaming the victim. As one who was a victim of dating violence and also a close friend of someone who was a victim of domestic violence there is and nor will there ever be any reason to EVER raise a hand to WOMAN or a MAN.
VIOLENCE will never be the answer. Women should never ever stay with the man, because he will always hurt her again.
Chris Brown clearly needs treatment and hopefully he will be able to receive it.
More education and empowerment is clearly needed around domestic violence, dating violence, and as CNN cited young women of color.
