Oprah says that it's her belief that "Love doesn't hurt... If a man hits you once, he WILL hit you again", and that Rihanna and Chris should seek counselling before attempting to rekindle their relationship (if at all). Oprah, along with a panel of guests, discuss the damaging effect abusive relationships have on today's teens, and that this highly publicised assault should be viewed as a 'teaching tool' to open up a general discussion about the issue.

According to a recent US study, 1 in 4 female teens have been affected by abuse in their relationships, but are too scared to speak up.
