The whirlwind surrounding Chris Brown and Rihanna has incited a number of rumors and ill will, but it’s also brought to light a controversial subject that doesn’t often get discussed.

On Friday, MTV hosted a forum of New York City teens and young adults for a special that will air on Monday evening. For “Chris Brown and Rihanna: Love in Trouble,” the attendees discussed not only Chris Brown and Rihanna, but the topic of abuse in their own relationships and those of their close family members.

Check out a short clip from MTV’s “Chris Brown and Rihanna: Love in Trouble” above, and be sure to tune in on Monday to watch the whole thing.
