Teen dating violence is more common than people would admit. It is a serious issue that is affecting nearly one in three high school students. That is a lot of teens having a problem that adults are not recognizing. It is a secret occurrence that could ruin a person’s life or possibly even end it. While girls are more likely to yell and use verbal abuse, guys are more likely to use physical force. Recognizing the signs of someone in an abusive relationship is vital. A short list of some signs are:
1. failing or falling grades
2. stops giving his or her own opinion
3. changes in mood or personality
4. use of drugs/alcohol
5. depression
6. isolation
7. physical signs of injury
Being able to identify these signs are extremely important to a person’s health and well-being. So take a better look at the people around you and the people you love to make sure that they are happy and healthy.
