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.

I actually just recently watched a documentary about dating violence. I never understood how big of a deal it was until watching that and reading this now. Its sad to see how many people are silent about it. Its something to definitely be aware about and talk to your friends about!
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was a lot of teen violence. I think that there would be more mental abuse rather than physical. I see many teen girls that don't even voice there opinion, which is one of the signs on your list. like the fact that you actually made a list Iof signs so we can observe others. I thinks that it is just awful that teen violence.
