A television show, The Game deals with a lot of relationships healthy ones and sometime unhealthy ones too. The show deals with football players trying to have a good football career and live a party type life, as well as hold a nice relationship with their wives. There are a lot of relationship problems in the show. In one episode the main character Derwin and his wife Melanie ended the relationship. Derwin moved on and got a new girlfriend, who ended up being pregnant. When Melanie found out she basically started to hate. She seen how good he was doing with his life without her and she didn’t like the fact that happened. So she decided to faked like she was pregnant as well, but the only reason she did that is for the attention from Derwin. She wanted to get back with Derwin so she chose this as a way to as a reason they should get back together.

What is it about a “bad boy” that makes girls
interested? Is it that we like a get-away boy?
Someone who lives life on the
edge?

What pushes a relationship to the point of being physically abusive? Is it the type of person or is there just a point of anger when a person loses all control of themselves? I don’t think there is a simple answer to this question.

But your company cradled me when my world was struck with lightning.
Your hands seemed permanent.
...but that was my fault for being gullible,
Like you think I am.

_Everyone knows and can see that celebrities have a lot of power over their fans. Whether it’s sports teams, superheros or singers, media plays a huge role in society. However, what if you read ‘Dude, Chris brown can punch me in the face as much as he wants to, just as long as he kisses it (:’

A lot of males spouses ask themselves every year “Why I just got to buy her something for Valentine’s Day and she don’t got to buy me nothing?” Some believe that Valentine’s  Day is originally created for the males to show their spouse some love, affection, and how much they appreciate them. When in reality it was created for both spouses to show some form of appreciation towards each other.

HIV/AIDS is a huge problem and, sadly, African American women make up the majority of cases.  In 2009 57% of new infections in the US were black women, which means that HIV/AIDS in the black community is a big thing. Women of color have high rates of some STIs. Having an STI can make a person more susceptible to HIV. I feel that all people should get tested for STI/STDs often, regardless of ethnicity, because all people are at risk.
