The movie Enough expanded my knowledge and perspective on social violence in a lot of different ways. Coming from a small town with a good home life it was really hard to watch this movie.

This movie taught me that no matter what is happening to you, it 's your choice to change it if you don’t like it. This movie also taught me that it is very important to be in a healthy relationship and if I feel like I 'm not get out of it right away and have my friends and family be my
