It is also important to note that teens may have difficulty recognizing that they are being abused, as “25% to 46% of female adolescents involved in aggressive intimate relationships interpreted the violence as an act of love.” Many adolescent perpetrators use sexual and/or physical abuse as a means of coercion. However, adolescent perpetrators are also likely to use non-physical abuse, such as threats, peer pressure, stalking, economic manipulation, and/or verbal harassment. TDV can take many forms, ranging from “punching, slapping, pushing, and grabbing to rape and murder—from threats of violence, verbal attacks, and other forms of intimidation to extreme jealousy, possessiveness, and controlling behavior.” (Author Text)enchild abuseresearchyouthjuvenilesharassmentcyberbullyingstalkingadolescentsThe Dynamics and Consequences of Teen Dating ViolenceArticle
