| Young Lady @bambiiiii_ Shares Her Domestic Violence Experience on Instagram Posted: 25 Feb 2014 12:09 PM PST  Oversharing on social media is usually for people who love to show off their best faces to others, but today it was used as a tool by @bambiiiii_ an aspiring Victoria's Secret model and actress to share the face of her domestic violence experience at the hands of her boyfriend of 8 months. See her message and pictures of her taken after the abuse below...  "This night be a little graphic but I just want to let everyone know that I am okay. I am a survivor of domestic violence with a boy I dated for 8 months. I really thought everything was fine but he constantly questioned me about cheating and flirting. Non sense. I never looked at someone the way he looked at me. Thought I loved this boy. How can someone that 'loves' me do this to me? The scars on my chest are way worse and extend down to my right nipple, completely scarred. The skin on my shoulder has been completely skinned. And i have bruising on my rib cage, neck, and my muscles. I was kicked out of a moving vechile, then beaten and dragged, as I blacked out and was left lying there in my own puddle of blood. Doctors said I could have died if not made it when I did. I am so blessed and beyond lucky to be alive and have so much support from friends, family, and strangers. As I try to recover I ask to please keep me in your prayers. I have to wear a neck brace for 3-4 weeks, an arm cast and I can barely walk for now. Thank you for all the love. I hope to be an inspiration to women and anyone involved in domestic violence."        |
| Advice Corner: My Friend Says Her Brother Is Into Me Because of My Money Posted: 25 Feb 2014 08:17 AM PST  Dear Myne, I have been dating my friend's elder brother for months now, We met in their mum's birthday party. We are not best of friends, but I take her to be my good friend, we stayed in together in my first and second year in school, even after not staying together anymore, we still act like we do. Her brother got my contact number from me and started asking me out few days after we met, he was so direct with his intention and his maturity was one thing I greatly admired. My friend had no problem with it, she told me her brother doesn't have the intention of messing around with anybody, let alone her own friend. Eventually I made up my mind and I was planning on giving him my answer when I learnt that he had lost his job. It didn't change my mind about him or stop me from dating him, I never even thought about his money or job before-hand. I am still a student but in my finals, but I do some free-lance jobs which pays me quite well and makes me independent of any man. I also have parents and siblings who provides my needs, basically I don't lack anything. Last week, my friend and I got talking about perfumes, because I gave her brother a TOM-FORD perfume as a Valentine gift, she knows how expensive it is and she told me her brother might only be into me because of my money. Meanwhile her brother only took me out for dinner on Valentine day, I told him not to bother getting me anything because he's saving up for his business investment. I pretended I didn't hear what she said but I couldn't help thinking about it. I am not very rich but I am quite comfortable with myself, I don't give her brother money but I believe in and like putting smile on people's face, I get him little things I know he might like or need, I decide to take up some little bills at times when we go out and it's all because I understand his situation. Contrary to what my friend told me, he evidently loves me, he doesn't look down on me even as a student, he values my opinion and he cares about me. My problem now is where my friend got that idea from, she initially told me her brother wasn't going to mess around with me, so why she would say such and why is she not even afraid of the fact that if I leave her brother, he will definitely take it up with her. I don't know if I am blinded or short-sighted by the love I have for him, or I am just being naïve or I should just trust him along with my instinct and ignore what my friend has said. Honestly, I might be young but I am not stupid to sense if a guy is up to something like that which I haven't noticed in him at all. I really need your opinion.     |
