3. The Cycle of Violence in Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse falls into a common pattern, or cycle of violence:
 Abuse – Your abusive partner lashes out with aggressive, belittling, or vio-
lent behavior. The abuse is a power play designed to show you "who is
boss."
 Guilt – After abusing you, your partner feels guilt, but not over what he's
done. He’s more worried about the possibility of being caught and facing
consequences for his abusive behavior.
 Excuses – Your abuser rationalizes what he or she has done. The person
may come up with a string of excuses or blame you for the abusive behav-
ior—anything to avoid taking responsibility.
 "Normal" behavior — The abuser does everything he can to regain control
and keep the victim in the relationship. He may act as if nothing has hap-
pened, or he may turn on the charm. This peaceful honeymoon phase may
give the victim hope that the abuser has really changed this time.
 Fantasy and planning – Your abuser begins to fantasize about abusing you
again. He spends a lot of time thinking about what you’ve done wrong and
how he'll make you pay. Then he makes a plan for turning the fantasy of
abuse into reality.
Set-up – Your abuser sets you up and puts his plan in motion, creating a situation where he can justify abusing you.
Your abuser’s apologies and loving gestures in between the episodes of abuse can make it difficult to leave. He may
make you believe that you are the only person who can help him, that things will be different this time, and that he truly
loves you. However, the dangers of staying are very real.

Help for Abused Men: You’re Not Alone
If you're a man in an abusive relationship, it's important to know that
you're not alone. It happens to men from all cultures and all walks of life.
Figures suggest that as many as one in three victims of domestic violence
are male. However, men are often reluctant to report abuse by women be-
cause they feel embarrassed, or they fear they won't be believed, or worse,
that police will assume that since they're male they are the perpetrator of
the violence and not the victim.
An abusive wife or partner may hit, kick, bite, punch, spit, throw things, or
destroy your possessions. To make up for any difference in strength, she may attack you while you're asleep or
otherwise catch you by surprise. She may also use a weapon, such as a gun or knife, or strike you with an ob-
ject, abuse or threaten your children, or harm your pets. Of course, domestic abuse is not limited to violence.
Your spouse or partner may also:
 Verbally abuse you, belittle you, or humiliate you in front of friends, colleagues, or family, or on
social media sites.
 Be possessive, act jealous, or harass you with accusations of being unfaithful.
 Take away your car keys or medications, try to control where you go and who you see.
 Try to control how you spend money or deliberately default on joint financial obligations.
 Make false allegations about you to your friends, employer, or the police, or find other ways to ma-
nipulate and isolate you.
 Threaten to leave you and prevent you from seeing your kids if you report the abuse.

4. 11 Facts About Cyber Bullying
“Cyber bullying” is defined as a young person tormenting, threatening, harassing, or
embarrassing another young person using the Internet or other technologies, like cell
phones.
The psychological and emotional outcomes of cyber bullying are similar to those of
real-life bullying. The difference is, real-life bullying often ends when school ends. For
cyber bullying, there is no escape. And, it’s getting worse. Read on to get the facts.
1. Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online. 1 in 4 has had it happen more than
once.
2. 70% of students report seeing frequent bullying online.
3. Over 80% of teens use a cell phone regularly, making it the most common me-
dium for cyber bullying.
4. 68% of teens agree that cyber bullying is a serious problem.
5. 81% of young people think bullying online is easier to get away with than bullying in person.
6. 90% of teens who have seen social-media bullying say they have ignored it. 84% have seen others tell cyber bullies
to stop.
7. Only 1 in 10 victims will inform a parent or trusted adult of their abuse.
8. Girls are about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyber bullying.
9. About 58% of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them online. More than 4 out 10 say it has hap-
pened more than once.
10. About 75% have visited a website bashing another student.
11. Bullying victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide.
