Murder Essay
Murder Essay
Some people just get very angry and have to take their anger out on other people, to make them feel better. Sometimes just have nothing else to do but make other people lives miserable and unhappy. I think there is no if, and, but about murder if you kill somebody you just kill them, some people say they don’t know what they be doing but if you cant control your attitude or how much you drink that is just you, maybe after you do your time you will because you was wrong for what you did. Other case may be self-defense and I think that is ok, because if your life is in danger that you have the right for self-defense. I think if somebody kill somebody unless self defense they should be punished with murder. They should take threats very serious because you never know if they are playing or not. Some people will wait for the right time to do their crime. It is not far for the family that the murder victim was in. many people cause people to murder them, but the person who murdered them still have no right to take somebody else’s life, it is not far.

warning signs
In an abusive relationship there are several warning signs. If you are being push around and hit in harmful ways, the way you start to act and treat others will become very different. If you are a child, you will start doing bad in school you grades will start falling and you will seem depress all the time. It can also stop you from having fun and thinking for your self. Another warning sign is when your body has lots of cuts and bruises. If you are being yelled at and pushed around very hard. If Their isn't only physical abuse their is also mental abuse. Mental abuse is when the person calls you names and talks you down. If the person is making you not think clearly that is mental abuse. This person cries a lot because they are hurting so much. They also try to act like nothing is wrong in front of family and friends. The last thing I know of is that the people in this situation thinks the person love them so much that they do anything to make them happy and they don't want to listen to nobody about the problem.
Abuse Scenario
Abuse Scenario
If I had a friend that had cuts and bruises on her all of a sudden, and she was telling me that they came from her falling and running into lockers, I wouldn’t believe her. People can not just get bruises all the time from falling, there has to be something else behind the whole thing. My first thought will be ask her is everything all right in her housewhole, and do she have any problems with anybody in the school. There might be some family issues that are going on in her life. I would want the best for my friend in ways. I would sit down and talk to her and look and her eyes and see her fears. If my friend she doesn’t want to tell me anything I would repory it to the schhoo, for they can help, it’s the best thing to do.
