1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their life time (Sommers, Christina). It’s sad to see that those numbers are small and fairly close to each other. They fact that they might not even know it is even worse. Domestic violence comes down to even high school. 1 in 4 high school dating relationship is violent (Roleff, Tamara). It’s sad to see that this is actually true.

Moral support is a very effective way of
