There seems to be a rising problem with abuse in teens while dating. This comes from an abusive and aggressive partner. It is not always the male that is the abusive one either. Some teens do not recognize that they are being abused or that they are being abused. They believe that they are in love and that the abuse is normal.
Often the abuse becomes very dangerous for the ones involved, even to the point of bodily injury or even death. When one of the partners become completely consumed with their rage, they have no way out. They continue until the final outcome is too costly to imagine. It is not normally the intent of the person to kill someone, but that can always be a result.
If you know of an abuse between your own teen or a loved one, seek help as quickly as you can. Parent counsel is always good, but sometimes it may take getting law officials involved. Don't ever let the situation get to the point where it is way out of hand. I see youth come to the youth home that I work at, every once in a while, as a safe haven for the youth. I also see some come in who have been the abuser in the relationship.
Therapists in the school that I work at are trained to deal with all kinds of abuses. Sometimes all the teen needs is an open mind to talk to. They will tell someone that they trust all that has led to the point where they were sent to rehab. They gain their self respect back and learn to stand up for themselves in the school that is provided. Do not allow your teen to be abused or allow your teen to abuse others. Seek help whenever you feel that a situation is escalating into a dangerous one.
