A new survey by the Boston Public Health Commission (http://tinyurl.com/cgrbnp ) finds that many teens think Rihanna was to blame for her boyfriend's assault against her. What do you think?”

I don't think it's cool for someone to antagonize another person to a point where there is a possibility for them to break. I've seen women do this. I DO NOT condone any one person hitting another. Women do not have the right to be hit by a man, nor should a man be hit by a woman.
The problem with this entire situation is that the world is watching leaked information. None of us know the truth and sadly our girls are forming their opinions based on circumstantial evidence.

I hope Rihanna and Chris both recover from this by becoming healthy loving adults. Neither are exhibiting adult behavior and it's important that we communicate that to our loved ones. This unfortunate situation does give us an opportunity to have a learning moment with our children.

I think thats crazy. NEVER is it ok for a man to hit a woman. Thats whats wrong with the teenage girls today. They think that if a man hits them that it's ok because they started the whole thing. Well NO WAY....and my teenage daughter knows that it's not ok for any person to put their hands on her. I think some of these girls need to be talked to so they know that's it's NEVER ok to be hit by a man. Or should i say BOY because i real man doesn't hit on women.

My friends 12 year old step daughter said she was at fault since she gave him an STD. I am appalled on so many levels. Most of all it is sad that girls think that it is ever ok for a boy to hit.
