Jeanette’s Story – Center Against Domestic Violence
http://www.cadvny.org/2009/09/14/jeanettes-story

I started to see Ms. Lauren, the RAPP Coordinator at my school, for counseling. We talked about teen relationship abuse. I saw that what Jamal was doing was abuse, and even if I made a big mistake, I deserved to be treated with respect. Visits to this site may be tracked. To exit this site immediately, click here.
