Teenagers and Abuse
A recent survey carried out by the NSPCC reported that a quarter of teenage girls and nearly a fifth of teenage boys have experienced violence in a relationship.
Other examples of abuse in teen relationships include:
- Pressure to have sex
- Checking on a partner’s behaviour and movements by accessing their social media profiles
- Controlling behaviours
- Unwarranted jealousy or anger
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect by their partner, regardless of their age. Abuse in a relationship is never OK.
