Paper Two Brainstorming

1. What do you already know about who or what has been done to address your issue? What organizations or laws have you already heard of?
Sometimes police get involved, guidance counselours, lawyers, concerned parents even. I specifically know two organizations, which is the Day One organization, and the Healing Center which is a group for young woman that helps victims, and also teaches many young woman more about domestic violence. I have yet to hear any laws regarding domestic violence against teens.


2. What information are you missing from Paper Two? What do you want to find out?
I'm missing further organizations and laws that have been passed due to teen domestic violence.

Lab Research DAY 3: Paper One Evidence

What is the central idea of your Paper One?

Domestic Violence needs to be addressed to teenagers, more specifically in high school because many students don't know how to differentiate love and control. There are many teenagers who don't tell anyone because they think it's okay and normal. Some even believe an abuser is doing what he/she does out of love.

What is evidence? How much evidence is "enough" evidence to prove your central idea?

Evidence is a source that often includes statistics, examples, and further information that makes your paper sound more professional and proves your information correct.

Lab Research DAY 2

When I skim through a reading I normally look for things that are in bold, headlines, age groups, specifically the word teenagers and things like statistics, different races and true stories that possibly inspired others to open up and tell their family and/or friends about the relationship that they are/were in.


Titles:
- Teen Topics: Teen relationship abuse puts teens at risk * 3
- There's a fine line ... adolescent dating violence and prevention * 3
- Domestic violence and woman's reproductive health: a review of the literature * 2
- Violent Peers, Network Centrality, and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration by Young Men * 1
- Domestic violence against women: incidence and prevalence in an emergency department population * 1

Lab Research DAY 1

1. What do you know about your issue already?
-Domestic Violence can occur to anyone at any age
- many believe that dating violence in high school is possibly increased as an issue in 10th grade
- girls who abuse inflict minor physical & emotional pain on partner
- girls tend to commit minor acts such as, scratching, slapping, and throwing objects
- boys who abuse have the capability to cause severe physical damage and sexual abuse

2. What do you want/need to know to write paper one?
I still need to find out the populations that are affected by domestic violence, and how it all started. I also want to find out what made the first couple of woman stand up for themselves.

3. Keywords for Search Engine
- teen domestic violence
- populations affected by domestic violence
- teenage girls not standing up in abusive relationship

4. Successes & Frustrations
Researching the history of domestic violence is much easier through search engines such as google and I found a lot of useful information. The database websites however, are a bit more harder to get the answers you're really looking for.
