Dating Violence Awareness- Stayteen.org

 When you hear the term "dating violence", do you envision physical fighting?

That is the most probable image that comes to mind. There are actually many other kinds of abuse, and many unhealthy relationship signs that are more common. We need to bring them to light! Smaller signs can be warnings of more dangerous things to come.

Read this excerpt below from www.stayteen.org, then please do yourself a favor and look through the entire website to raise awareness. You may find yourself running into someone who needs the resource.

People can experience several different types of abuse. These can include:
•Physical abuse: any intentional use of physical force meant to cause fear or injury, like hitting, shoving, biting, strangling, ki...cking, or using a weapon.


•Emotional abuse: non-physical behavior such as threats, insults, humiliation, intimidation, isolation, or stalking.


•Sexual abuse: any action that forces undesired sexual behavior on you by another person. This includes making you do anything you don’t want to do sexually, refusing to have safe sex, aggressively pressuring you to go further than you want to sexually, or making you feel badly about yourself sexually.

  1. Girls that are being abuse either physical,emotional or sexual should get out of the relationship right away as soon as they notice any kind of these abuse.This can save them from more hurt and pain.
