  • Hailey from Michigan says:
    I think it is wrong because if you get back with him it may happen again.
  • Anonymous says:
    No, because if you do he well probably do it again.
  • Anonymous from California says:
    Well there's technically no yes and no to this question [in my opinion].I think that if that girl gets back with that guy she should think of better guys. No, I don't think it's right for a guy to hit . . .   (see full comment)
  • florencia says:
    Yes! He might say he changed but it’s too risky! What if it happens again and this time there’s no way out? Not worth the pain. Even if you love him. You deserve better..
  • micaila from Ohio says:
    I think that it would be horrible if the girl still got back with him because he abused her!!!!!!! That isn't right for a person-anybody!-to do that to someone else!! She should definitely avoid him . . .   (see full comment)

What do you think about a girl who stays with someone who doesn’t treat them the right way?

  • Summer from New Hampshire says:
    I think the cause for still being in the relationship is how much they have had with a boy. You get so close and you don't want to loose you first love. The love becomes over powering and it confuses . . .   (see full comment)
  • Makayla from AF Pacific (AP) says:
    I think it is SO WR0NG to get back with your boyfriend if he treats you like you are worthless. If you have ever gotten hit by your boyfriend then go talk with a trusted adult.
  • beauty from Pennsylvania says:
    She should really leave him. no one should be abused like that.
  • Victoria from New York says:
    I think that you should speak up because you should not stay with someone who has control over you who is not in your family!!! You should have the freedom you want cause no one as the right to do stu . . .   (see full comment)
  • Alice from Ohio says:
    I don’t think that she should get back with him because he has abused her and that is just not right!
