Dr. Gabe on Rihanna and Chris Brown

Dr. Gabe,

Do you think battered women who are currently in her situation will respect her decision for staying with him?

My mother went through a depression that went to a level of seeing a psychologist. After she came to her sences and felt better, I started to go down to a depression that was very similar to hers.

Why is that? Is there any thing that could of run down my genes?

Dr. Gabe,

Do you think all the media attention that Chris Brown and Rihanna are receiving is something that really has to do with abuse, or just another way of airing dirty laundry?

Hey Dr. Gabe, can you answer this for me; what is the psychological impact on White Americans since the election of President Obama?

This is for Dr. Gabe. I keep hearing about the gay gene. I think that sexual orientation is determined by psychological factors. Do you think scientists will find this gene?

This is for Dr. Gabe and anyone else who More…loves to protect our future leaders. Some eight and nine year old kids run around trying to fight their peers. I literally get mad when this happens. I believe that some parents see their children’s behavior, so why do they allow it be transfered onto the school yard? Do these parents need counciling themselves in order to get their kids some help? Parents need to be better role models.

Dr. Gabe,
i hav a friend and she went through sexual abuse with her own “father”! at a young age. now she is at the point to where she doesnt know if she needs to forgive him for what he done to her and let him back in her life or should she just keep him out her life reguardless if he’s her father. what do u think she should do in this type of situation? let me kno ur comments.

Is this kind of behavior ‘nature’ vs. ‘nature’? Yes, i think the environment where both grew up have a lot to do with it.

dr. gabe,
i loved your comments regarding rhianna and chris brown. as a professional educator of high school teens, as well as, being a survivor of domestic violence, i believe your comments “hit the nail on the head.” you went straight to the point, addressing a void our youth need to have filled. you provide a refreshing, honest, and realistic out look. so many of our young adults are blinded and disenfranchised by what they see represented by the media. it was awesome to witness someone “telling it like it is.” your engagement gave our youth something to think about.
YOU ARE AWESOME.
Can’t wait to see you on EXTRA again.

Gabe -

Thanks for generating a conversation that gives kids options to make powerful choices and to notice when there are weak ones made.

Keep on!

Dr. Gabe, it is awesome to witness your interaction with our youth! The term “Our” is used because each of us must take responsibility to share our experiences with them. Thank you for being such an informed and intelligent Role Model for them to respect and admire! Blessings and love you! Dr. Tonya Lewis

Dr. Gabe,

It is refreshing to see a young Black man take such an active approach to bringing about change, and you started with our youth!

I’m glad you didn’t engage in a “gossip” session like so many others, but instead you assured our children we can make a difference, but we have to realize the change begins in “me”.

It was great! I’m all for Dr. Gabe having his own TV Talk Show!!!!!

The “Dr. Gabe Show” gets my vote.

I mean we got Dr. Phil and the likes why don’t they have someone for the youth and young adults talking about things we need to talk about?

Rihanna is now married to the boy! This says alot about the “lack of growth” in her and him. No one really knows, wants to know, the “truth”. Chris Brown is not the only one at fault in this. Poor choices, bad choices are and have been made.

Hello Again Dr. Gabe—

It was real cool seeing my classmates on T.V. today, thanks again for taking the time to visit us!

I think most young people my age would benefit from hearing from someone like you on a regular basis. I know you can’t go to every school, so what they need to do is give you your own show!

Who is with me on this?
