Spring Break
Sass Attack!
Suzette De La Cré
Issue date: 3/6/09 Section: Arts & Entertainment
Do you ever feel lost? Like you're not sure which direction to take in life? Let's face it - sometimes we need help navigating this crazy thing called college. That's why I'm here. Consider me your third-party, impartial columnist. You have questions, and baby doll, I've got your answers. Or rather, I can provide my spin on things. So sit on down and buckle up, 'cause you're in for a big ol' Sass Attack!
If y'all finding yourself in a hardship, seek me out at entertainment@thetriangle.org. Make sure to put "ADVICE" in the subject line. I got your back, sugar.
I love my boyfriend. He's the first guy to really understand me, but sometimes he's mean. He'll call me names like whore and bitch and I get scared. What should I do?
Give me his name and address - Ms. Suzette is gonna f*** him up! No man, I repeat, no man should ever treat you, or any woman, like this. You are a woman and women are strong. We must never accept abuse from anyone, much less some pathetic guy who needs to tear you down to feel good about himself.
He's nothing but a schoolyard bully, and bullies are cowards. They have such little confidence - they prey on those they see as being weaker to appear stronger. He is using you to feel like a "real man." Funny, a real man would not need such superficial means. A real man would respect you and treat you like the goddess you are.
I fear you, too, have confidence issues; otherwise you would not give into him. A few years back, my friend, we'll call her Jane, had a boyfriend. He, too, was abusive to her. I repeatedly begged her to leave his schmuck ass, but she would not. She desperately feared never finding anyone else who could love her, so she would take his B.S. Finally, it got bad. He slammed her into a wall, fracturing two ribs. She ended up having to move away to escape from him. Do not be this same victim. She could not break free of her chains, but I have hope for you. You know this is wrong, or else you would not write in. Please leave him while you still can. I know you can - somewhere in your heart is a strong, independent woman!
