Mataurity brings about a change, should be for the betterment of an individual. I think this is a classic case of two young people that have peaked before their time.

Hey Dr. Gabe,

I saw the show yesterday….GREAT!

I have a question: Can a person with impulsive behavior ever ‘really’ change?

I think its a great thing that Dr. Gabe is making it a point to make sure that people know that this situation is not okay for anyone and it is even better that people may realize that celebrities aren’t the best role models because they are just as human as the next person.

Dr. Gabe

Why is it that the media focus point is on Rihanna and Chris Brown, we understand that domestic violence is non-tolernce. I think that this mattter is over-exposed.

Television influences the behaviors of it viewers. What can the media do to ensure that actions such as these will not be emulated?

Don’t really know why Rihanna and Chris Brown are now scape goats for an abusive relationship. No different then anybody else besides the fact the have a camera around. And if people think that it’s to abuse someone in a relationship because Chris Brown smacked someone then they should be beat themselves for being such an idiot.

Have a blessed day!

Dr. Gabe:

Your dialogue with our youth/our posterity was awesome! Having them give their views and heartfelt opinions about the domestic violence issue (and any other topics) is just what we need to hear today. What you are doing, especially with our young people, is right on time. Thank you, Sir. Keep doin’ whatcha do! MO

Hello Dr. Crenshaw,
What would you suggest to parents with a 13 year old whose a ‘pack rat’?
Could this manifest? Should they seek professional help for their son?

Violent people and acts of violence are the product of childhood impressions imposed upon kids, and this leads to violence in later life. Often times counseling is not sought and people lack the skills to deal with the conflicts in the proper, less violent ways. In the case of Rihanna and Chris, I believe that both are the products of abusive households.

Dr. Gabe,

I have a problem. For once in my life I realize the great potential that I possess. However, I am still not sure how to apply it. I know that if I apply my potential to my endeavors, the sky is the limit. Yet still I continue to neglect the power I hold. What can I do to utilize this gift? Why is it so hard for me to apply the potential I hold?
