My Play :Black and Blue

the problem:

I am trying to raise awareness to on the subject of Teen Dating Abuse. Girl tend to think it can never happen to them and they are the ones that need to be the most aware. I wrote a play on Teen Dating Abuse last year and had about 100 people come to watch it. It was a small cast but the message was big. The cast is planning on putting on another performance.

why it's important:

This is a very important issue to me because my sister went through a 4-year long verbally abuse relationship. I want girls to be aware and never be put in that situation. My play showed a lot of real scenarios that addressed the problem. In my play it shows different ways of dealing with abusive relationships.

the plan of action:

I wrote a play called Black and Blue. It was showed last year to a group on 100 people (adults and teenagers). My play shows difficult situations girls can be forced into and how to get out. It also portrays the mentality of girls who don't realize they are in an abusive relationship. It also shows what friends can do if they are trying to help.
