When teens are in a relationship, they sometimes don't know how to set boundaries due to the simple fact that they are new to the whole dating phase. Many teenagers are indiscriminate when finding their partner and this means that they sometimes make a series of mistakes during a relationship that become a problem later in the relationship. If the person does not set boundaries and limits from the beginning it is quite easy to predict how it will end. Girls should understand how to choose a boyfriend who will respect her and not end up in an abusive relationship which is sadly present in a full handful of these teenage relationships. Some of the signs that the girl should pay attention to at the beginning of the relationship are if the guy constantly torments himself with jealousy and always wants to know where the girl is and who she is with. Another sign to watch out for is if the guy starts taking the relationship very seriously quickly and also if he has an explosive temper. If your boyfriend owns or uses guns or always seems to like to handle problems with violence, this is a big clue that you need to keep your eyes open and be very careful. If he seems to get angry every time you talk to another friend, you shouldn't be with him in the first place (Jill). If during the relationship the boyfriend always argues with the girl and at some points even bumps into her or covers her mouth to keep her quiet. The girl should speak up for help and not remain secretive. Research has found that those who have a tendency to engage in relationship violence escalate their abuse over time, rather than getting better, it simply becomes more severe (Mcghee). If the girl doesn't put... the paper in the middle... because in reality everything that will happen will only be worse. The best solution is to speak up because at the end of the day you are not alone, there are people out there who could help you and who really care about you.
