I've had no experiences in abusive relationships. But I know a few who have. I would hate to be one the weird teens to get abused. But me personally if I was in a abusive relationship I would be the abuser.
Females in a abusive relationship take it and blame it on themselves for no reason. They think their not doing something rightmost of the time. A few signs i noticed would be cuts off friends(me), spends alot of time alone, avoids activities and friendly get togethers,some don't even come in the cafeteria. Some say I love you to their partner so much that they constantly start saying I Love You to people they barley talk to.
People who don't know how to get out of abusive relationships will probley end up dead. Alot try to runaway from the situation and become homeless. So to me the best thing to do would be tell someone you know that can help. someone who will get you out the situation. And some words of wisdom are there's nothing wrong with opening up never be afraid. And never loose contact with those who care.

Signs of Abusive Relationships
I have not been in an abusive relationship so I cant speak for thoes who have but when I researched it online this is what I found. An abusive relationship can include slapping, punching and etc. In a abusive relationship the main reason the abuser feels the need to abuse the victum is for the power and to feel like they are worth something. The abuser thinks that just because he is abusing the victum he has a special power. The abuser is probably on drugs or is an alchoholic. I know of some people that have been in a abusive relationship. My opinion on abusive relationships is I think that anyone who has abused someone else should be punished in some sort of way. I do not apprechiate someone hurting anyone else. How would they feel if some one was to abuse them. They probably would not like it. I really dont know what else to say so this is my thought of abusive relationships
