Sometimes, it may feel like an unhealthy relationship is better than none at all. Your feelings and needs are important and treating ono another with respect is the only way to have a good relationship.
Girls are far more likely than boys to br victims of dating violence.
It is common for abusers to say their dates are to blame. In turn, the victims think people will hold them responsible for the trouble. By breaking the silence about the abuse, victims are likely to find the help they need. Abusive behavior is any act carried out by one partner aimed at hurting or controlling the other. Violence is about power and control.
