If your boyfriend demeans you, makes you account for your whereabouts, tells you how to dress and act, or tries to dictate who you can and cannot see, those are all forms of abuse.

]]> 102490 1 36 Tip Verbal abuse often escalates to physical abuse.

]]> 102491 2 40 Step Don't blame yourself Don’t blame yourself. Despite what he may say, you are not bringing this on yourself. No one deserves to be treated disrespectfully.

]]> 102492 3 49 Step Suggest he get help Suggest he get counseling to deal with the issues that might be driving his behavior, like low self-esteem. You might also benefit from counseling to help you understand the impact of his abuse.

]]> 102493 4 59 Step Stand up for yourself Tell your boyfriend you will not tolerate insults or controlling behavior – and mean it. Prepare for the possibility you might walk out.

]]> 102494 5 67 Step End things If the abuse continues, end the relationship. Break things off during the day, in a public place, just to be on the safe side. Ask trusted friends to keep an eye out for retaliatory behavior.

]]> 102495 6 79 Tip If he’s given you any reason to feel unsafe, try not to be alone for a while after the breakup.

]]> 102496 7 85 Step Resist attempts to win you back Resist his attempts to win you back. Abusive relationships often fit a pattern of cruelty, followed by apologies and promises to change, followed by more abuse.

]]> 102497 8 94 Fact One in four teenage girls has experienced verbal abuse by a boyfriend.
