*Click here to view new posts @ www.glossygame.com*

According to People this past week, there has been a Rih Rih and C. Brown reunion. The two were spotted frolicking together in Miami on Diddy's property. Interesting. We know what we here at Glossy Game think about the situation, but what are your thoughts? Should Rih Rih & Chris try to work it out or should she leave him alone and be the one that got away?

Ladies, though there have some some serious reflections and comedic takes on the unfolding of the Rihanna and Christ Brown abuse saga, remember that violence in a relationship is NEVER acceptable. Knowing your self-worth and knowing the signs of potential abuse are some of the keys to preventing violence in your relationship.


Here's some info:

  • 62% of girls 11-14 knew a friend who had been in a verbally abusive situation
  • Some of the signs of being in an abusive relationship include: loss of appetite, nervousness, weight loss, bruises or broken bones, anxiety, shame, mistrust of self and others, depression, fear, feelings of worthlessness, terror
  • If someone is writing horrible things on your MySpace or Facebook page, consider blocking the person

Remember, if you or someone you know are in any type of abusive relationship (emotional, verbal, physical, psychologial) GET OUT, seek help; it's serious!
