"PinterestFacebookHere&amp;#39;s a truth I&amp;#39;ve learned from working here at the Girls in the Beauty Department blog for almost three years: Our readers are the smartest, funniest, sweetest, brightest bunch of people out there. But here&amp;#39;s something else: Each and everyone one of you probably knows someone whose life has been effect by relationship violence&amp;#8212;at least according to a recent Glamour/Harris poll survey that found that nearly 60% of all young women have experienced abuse. And what&amp;#39;s even more upsetting is that relationship violence kills 4 women a day in the U.S. But we here are* Glamour* want to do something about that. And we need your help.\nWe&amp;#39;d like you to join Glamour&amp;#39;s campaign to stop relationship violence by encouraging women to talk about it. Today, change your Facebook status to &amp;quot;Join Glamour&amp;#39;s Tell Somebody campaign: Relationship violence kills 4 women a DAY in the U.S. If you or someone you know is being abused, Tell Somebody. Make sure someone is always listening by texting TELLNOW to 85944. Your $10 donation will help keep the National Domestic Violence Hotline open.\nWhy do we want you to do this?
