Hey! So, here's the video I was talking about in class. This is the scene that literally covers everything. Stacey wants to break up with Bobby because he has been constantly hitting her in public/private. He follows her everywhere and always knows where she's at. At school, she finally tells him that it's over but Bobby gives out these crazy vibes. She cannot stop talking about him and how she is the blame; and he tries using his charm to get her back. She goes back and they get into another fight but this time... she never made it back home. Bobby slit her throat because "if he couldn't have her, then no one can." Bobby was convicted for first degree murder. During the trial, their friends were testifying and going based off of what they saw... ultimately, none of them tried their best to stop what was happening.
Ultimately, how much can friends and family do? It was an obsession and she saw it as love. Granted, she hated the way she was treated but I think that she at first saw her mom being in a verbal abusive relationship and went off of that but after all of the times he would publicly hit her... it would happen multiple times.
In high school, I've seen so many abusive relationships and everyone that it was either "sweet" or "adorable" because someone can care so much for someone but what other aspects play into relationships that we should admire and accept? If someone sees a sign of abuse... it's no game to play around with because you never know what a person can be capable of. In this case, Stacey's relationship led to murder and there were signs everywhere.
