According to several national studies, teen dating violence is disturbingly common. 

For teens, relationship abuse often takes the form of extreme possessiveness and jealousy. Abusers try to manipulate their dating partners by making all of the decisions, putting them down in front of friends, threatening to kill themselves, stalking them, or forcing them to have sex.

Unfortunately, parents frequently fail to recognize the signs that their teen is in trouble. If you’re concerned about your teen, review the warning signs below. If you suspect your teen may be in trouble and want to learn about what you can do to help your child and keep her/him safe, contact your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential counseling, information or referrals.
