Some people think that domestic means a husband hitting his wife, but this kind of violence happens between people who are dating, too.
Teenagers can find themselves in violent relationships.
Movies, music and video games can make violence against women seem sexy or romantic, so some people think that being in a violent relationship is very grown-up. But in real life violence is never glamorous or mature. It is unacceptable. When the person you are dating doesn't let you talk to your friends, tells you what you can and can't wear or becomes furious when you do something without checking with him, that is all part of abuse. Even if you are not being hurt physically, this kind of mental abuse is just as painful and often leads to physical violence.
