In this world of today globalisation have taken much affect and due to that the world has turned into a small village, due to that people of all ages have come closer to each other. This increases socialism thus this also increase the chance of getting abused through socialization
One of the most dangerous is the teen
dating abuse. According to a research by American Journal of Public Health showed that amongst the adolescence who were dating 59%
reported to have physical violence on
dates, and about 96% reported having psychological or emotional distress.
It is true that anyone can be a victim of dating abuse regardless of his ethinicity, social status or his or her experience with dating. Both boys and girls have been reported to have been victims of dating abuse, and many involve mutual abuse where both partners emotionaly or physically harm the other.
I got interested in this topic when i viewed a slide on the internet where it showed that about 65 % of the rape are been done during dates when the partner is been druged, and when i saw my freind who got so much emotionally distressed over a girl that he left his family , friends and his other activities behind.
How to prevent this? Prevention begins with awareness. Dating abuse mostly occur because of the sole power of one in a relationship over the other. It is
important for both male and female to recognize the warning
signs of an abusive relationship.
For instance; does one partner:
&
gt; Demonstrate extreme acts of jealousy?
> Demand to know where his or her partner is at all times?
> Blow disagreements out of proportion?
> Insult the partner in public?
> Constantly threaten to breakup the relationship?
> Become verbaly or physically abuse?
> Do the same things which his or her partner doesnot like repeatedly?
> Frequently apologize or make excuses for his or her partners behavior?
> Always makes the other partner angry?
> Show signs of physical abuse such as bruises or cuts?
> Give up things that use to be important such as family, friends?(not applicable if the partner has already left him or her...then he needs help)
>Get pressurized or manipulated to having sex?
When the relationship becomes from flirting to hurting then its time to get out. Adolescense who see these signs should immediately talk to his or her frnds or an adult to get some guidance.
Adolescence females usually experience more with such kind of problems, which puts them at a higher risk of serious heath concerns, such as alchohol and drug abuse, eating disorder, risky sexual behaviour, desperation, pregnancy and suicide.
The best way about preventing is to talk and make awareness to people what it really is because this problem is growing very fast and is with in every 1 of 2 dates.
It is also important to tell the teens how alchohol and drug abuse can make them more vulnerable to dating abuse.
