Teen domestic violence

It’s totally normal to fall out with your partner from time to time. But when someone you’re going out with hurts you and makes you feel bad on a regular basis, that’s not okay. Abuse in teenage relationships is the same as abuse in older relationships – it’s all about one person trying to control and have power over someone else.

Ask yourself: do you feel frightened of your boyfriend? Do you change your behaviour, your clothes, or avoid saying or doing certain things because you’re worried about how he’ll react? If the answer to either of these questions is ‘yes’, your boyfriend is being abusive.

Abuse can take many different forms. Physical and sexual abuse are the easiest to spot. But remember – you don’t have to be hit to be abused. Emotional, psychological and financial control are also very serious.

Abuse often escalates over time. What starts as name-calling and insults can turn into physical violence. That’s why it’s so important for you to reach out to a trusted adult or organisation if you are concerned about experiencing domestic violence.
