Problem - Solution Essay: Yihan Jin

Toxic relationships can have a harsh effect on everyone involved. In many cases people think about the victim or the person being abused. Whether they are experiencing physical or emotional abuse, in most societies it is not acceptable. But why do such relationships continue to exist?

Firstly, there are reasons why people may feel bad for the abuser. In many cases we are not sure what is going on with the abuser, but a few have had life rough for years. Some have family members such as a parent be abusive to them and this is all they know. There are people that were born with drugs in their system and it affects how they perceive certain things while growing up. Others may live in an environment where people do not treat others with respect. They think it should be okay to treat others poorly or they have issues with anger management. All these reason could affect the relationship, but the person abused also has responsability to accept this tipe of relationship.

Then, how we can solve these problems? At this point, schools should offer additional educational programs to inform about all forms of abuse, but this is not enough to solve these relationships. We need all people to have an education in order not to carry out the actions of the abuser and so that abused people understand that they are in a type of relationship that must affect them.

All in all, there are different types of abusive relationships and younger people, such as teenagers, are experiencing them in school. Few feel not enough is being done to put an end to it. If people had been well educated, these realationships wouldn't exists, but this is imposible. People who knows that they are in a toxic relationship, should have left this relationship, to do this posible they need courage and will to leave it.
