What occurred between them remains between them, because there is a love affair which speaks, nobody cannot decide in the place of Rihanna, you know the love that is not explained, but its saw itself, rather see with dimensions positive these stars, satisfy to appreciate them has our ways. I adore Rihanna because it is given has make in all these songs, Chris similar, but he is inflated; let us adore them coz they are well… THANK YOU for all Dr GABE!!!

My God! If we ever needed this kind of programming we sho’ do need it now! God is giving these young people what they need through Dr. Gab. . an outlet whereby they can process their thoughts and feelings surrounding this unfortunate situation and be heard. Thank you, Dr. Gab, for answering the call.

Hey Dr Gabe
First I must congratulate you on the positive and informative contributions that you have been making on Extra. I remember meeting you during your train ride into London…my mind was distracted on the subject of separation and abuse more specifically emotional abuse. I can remember thinking that it doesn’t matter how it presents its ugly face…no one should accept nor should they make excuses for the abuser. Rihanna and Chris need to learn that love doesn’t have to hurt to be real or controlled to be secured.

Dr Gabe.

Thank you for speaking to our youth on the subject of dating abuse. It is a topic that needed the spotlight. Hopefully starting the conversation will help teens to make the right decisions if faced with this problem.

In my opinion Chris Brown and Rihanna getting back together so soon sends a bad message to their young fans. “Smack me today. Love me tomorrow.”

Thanks for doing your part to encourage positive relationships, and the concept of bringing our best selves forward.

You are an asset to Extra. Continued success.

Dr. Gabe,

“Love does not have to hurt to turn out right” May this be at the center of your message to educate both the youth and the old to don’t confuse pain for love. I would love to love you pass your pain!!!!!!!! You can have whatever you like!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Crenshaw more recently Chris and Rihana have gotten back together. I have noticed that in these types of situations, more often than not, women are inclined to go back into that abusive relationship. What compels them to rush back into a home where they are being mistreated and abused?

Dr. Gabe,

As society continues to bridge the gap of what is acceptable in music lyrics, movies, videos, and television with what is ‘unacceptable’ in real life we can stop the desensitizing of our youth. This kind of continued dialogue allows them to question past role model choices and discuss mixed messages that contribute to poor personal decisions.

Every Junior High and High school in America should be having these discussions to promote healthy discourse that results in accountable conduct.

Thank you Dr. Gabe for making a difference.

Dr. Gabe your handling of the Rihanna/Chris Brown behaviour with the students was excellent.
As the parent of three(17, 14 and 9), I am appalled that two children with bad judgement and behaviour, who have contributed nothing to society, are fortunate enough to be paid millions for a God given vocal talent, are held up as role models for our children.
What a sad comment on todays society that such behaviour is plastered all over TV, the internet and the airwaves, to be lapped up by a disenfranchised generation. It is no wonder your services are so crucially needed.
Keep standing in the gap Dr. Gabe.

Chris Brown and Rihanna should seek professional help no doubt..!!! Some people think just because there famous they wont have problems.. They are normal just like everybody else………

It is an awesome experience for me to see someone I know & love doing such a great work for our youth. Dr Gabe is a multi talented, gifted & blessed young man who is being used for the good of our nation. I am blessed that our paths crossed & I pray for his continued success. Dr Gabe, you are truly one in a million. God Bless!!

I’m glad to see Dr. Gabe connecting with the youth in a positive way. There are many lessons that can be learned from what has happened with Chris Brown and Rhianna and I’m glad the students have the opportunity to voice their thoughts through such a positive conduit. Keep it up Dr. Gabe!

I wish the media would Stop reporting one side of the story. Rihanna has admitted that she has slapped Chris around before but the media are only reporting one side of the story.

Females should never hit males
Males should never hit females

Let’s talk to our children about both sides of the issue.

It would be great to see him have his talkshow and engage in conversation with young folks. Keep up the good work.

Dr.Gabe’s show was outstanding. Our youth need more education on “abusive relationships”. It is so true when one states, “Love Doesn’t Hurt”. Violence is UNACEPPTABLE no matter how OLD or how YOUNG!
Dr. Gabe, thanks for bringing this sensitive matter to the forefront! You are doing a great job!!!!!

Hello Gabe:

First I say God bless you in your endeavor. Yes we must speak to and teach our young adults and remind them that “Violence” is never the way out of any situation.

They must learn to love each other and love “on” each other; not harm each other by disrespect and the lowering of someone’s self-esteem and most of all the point of using one another. We must keep and support persons like yourself who are willing to go the “extra” mile in trying to lead and guide our youth. Please keep up the good work.

I have seen abuse in my family, and when the woman goes back to the abuser 9 times out of 10 he hits her again. I wish she would get a clue. Nothing against her or Chris Brown, but I think they should go their separate ways, grow up, get counseling, and live their lives. But if she wants to be stupid, and stay, it is on her. I have no sympathy then.

My wife and I have been together for five years now. We were both under 23 years old when we started dating and cohabitating. During that time I made it my duty that hitting will not be in our culture. Even during horseplay I didn’t want her to believe that for EITHER one of us hitting is okay. My question for Dr. Gabe, How can we change young men and women that come from abusive upbringing to peaceful adults?

This is a very hot topic, and as well it should be. I think that it is admirable for Dr. Gabe to not only research this but to also take this message to a generation of increasingly angry teenagers.

Perhaps however, if the subject were approached and taught from a more open-minded point of view. As an individual currently mandated punitive classes within this realm, I for one understand that with the issue of domestic abuse, it can always come from either party.

That is not to say the Chris Brown did not do this or, if he did, that he is justified. But once you take this subject into the classroom, it truly becomes far bigger than them. Therefore, if perhaps the feminine-biased approach and influence was removed from the situation and/or subject, I believe this has the potential to be a highly valuable concept to take to the arriving generations for learning and intervention.

Until, then the work of genuine people as this Dr. Gabe seems to be will be for naught.

Dr. Gabe’s show on Rihana and Chris Brown was absolutely phenominal. We need more of this kind of education; and TV and print media are formats to get the message across that domestic violence is unacceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. Domestic violence is a major (hidden/ignored) problem in our society. It crosses all social-economic, ethnic and cultural boundaries. I was victim and truely understand the magnitude of the problem. Please invite Dr. Gabe back to continue education the nation; and particularly women. Women need to know there is help out there for them!

today you would think that boys/men would already know now matter what never to hit and girl much less anyone. im glad that dr.gabe is talking to kids about serious domestic violence is. and that its never right.
