Warning Signs of Teen Dating Violence...

Warning signs to watch out for teen dating violence include: sudden loss of interest in activities, low grades, changes in appetite, changes in sleep patterns, loss of regular friends and drastic changes in clothing.

Often victims will wear long sleeves, long pants and scarves to hide bruises and marks. If you as a parent suspect that your teen is in an abusive relationship, encourage zero tolerance for inappropriate dating behaviors.

If you suspect that your teen is being violent to their dating partner, talk to them. Let the teen know that love is about respect. Sometimes it is difficult to realize that your child is being mean or violent. Do not allow aggressive behavior in the home. Talk to the teen about emotional abuse and how it is unacceptable in any relationship. You could say something like, “It bothers me when you yell at so-and-so.” Express concern and talk to the teen about appropriate behavior. You may even want to seek professional help for your teen.

Teen dating violence is a problem that parents can help prevent. Talk to teens about the different types of violence. Be alert for warning signs and let the teens know that you care. Most of all, show teens the appropriate way to behave by being respectful and caring towards other people.

Encouraging teens to have healthy relationships before they begin dating is important. Be aware and keep the lines of communication open with teens about their relationships.

Signs of an abusive relationship

There are many signs of an abusive relationship. The most telling sign is fear of your partner. If you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around your partner—constantly watching what you say and do in order to avoid a blow-up—chances are your relationship is unhealthy and abusive. Other signs that you may be in an abusive relationship include a partner who belittles you or tries to control you, and feelings of self-loathing, helplessness, and desperation.

To determine whether your teen relationship is abusive, ask her/him to answer the questions below. The more “yes” answers, the more likely it is that your teen may be in an abusive relationship.

Your Inner Thoughts and Feelings

Do you:

• feel afraid of your partner much of the time?
• avoid certain topics out of fear of angering your partner?
• feel that you can't do anything right for your partner?
• believe that you deserve to be hurt or mistreated?
• wonder if you're the one who is crazy?
• feel emotionally numb or helpless?

Your Partner's Belittling Behavior

Does your partner:

• humiliate or yell at you?
• criticize you and put you down?
• treat you so badly that you're embarrassed for your friends and family to see?
• ignore or put down your opinions or accomplishments?
• blame you for his/her own abusive behavior?
• see you a property or a sex object, rather than a person?

Your Partner's Violent Behavior or Threats

Does your partner:

• have a bad and unpredictable temper?
• hurt you, or threaten to hurt or kill you?
• threaten to commit suicide if you break up with him/her?
• force you to have sex?
• destroy your belongings?

Your Partner's Controlling Behavior

Does your partner:

• act excessively jealous and possessive?
• control where you go and what you do?
• keeps you from seeing your friends or family?
• constantly checking up on you?
• excessive texting or calling you?

If your teen is afraid for her/his safety or has been assaulted by her/his partner please dial 911 or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-787-3224.

Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Via LoveIsRespect.org

Via LoveIsRespect.org; 2/4/10

As you all know this is the first year that Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention is being honored for a whole month instead of the first week of February as it has been in the past. This is largely thanks to the support and influence of several U.S. Senators as well as Vice President Joe Biden. Senators Mike Crapo (R-ID), Joseph Lieberman(I-CT) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) have been huge supporters of moving the awareness up to a month and we are very grateful for their hard work. We have a video clip of the Senators along with Attorney General Tom Perelli discussing teen dating violence awareness and prevention after the jump, so check it out!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Teens and Tweens

One way to decrease the chances of teens being in an abusive relationship is to encourage kids to love themselves. Show teens respect. Let them know that it is important for other people to respect them as well. If siblings are disrespecting one another, bring attention to the behavior and try to stop it. Encouraging teens to respect family members, friends and others will help them to demand respect in their dating and personal relationships.

As hard as we try to talk to our teens, they will not always feel comfortable telling us when something is wrong. Look up local hotline numbers for teens. Make a list and give it to your child. Also, have a list taped to the refrigerator and the back of the teen’s bathroom door. Let the teen know that the numbers are available if they ever need them. This way, the hotline numbers will be accessible to your teen should they become involved in an abusive relationship. The teen hotline numbers can be a valuable tool in helping teens in a time of crisis.

Victims of teen dating violence often feel as though they deserve the abuse or that they will not be able to find anyone else if they break up with their abusive partner. They may have low self esteem or fail to recognize emotional abuse and think that it is perfectly normal. Remind your teen that they deserve respect in their relationships. It is important to emphasize to teens that they will have several relationships where they think they are in love and have found a special person. Explain to your teen that they are young and that they will have many opportunities to date.

Safety issues are a main concern. Aggression and anger can lead to serious intentional or accidental injuries. If the teen has unexplained bruises or marks, talk to them about what you suspect is going on in their relationship. You do not have to confront them with questions. Just talk to them about healthy dating relationships. This lets the teen know that you are available and concerned without putting the teen on the defensive. If the teen feels that they have to defend their relationship, they are less likely to break up with the violent partner.

Talking With Your Teen About Teen Dating Violence…It’s Never Too Early Or Late

The teen years can be a difficult time for kids and parents. The teen dating scene can be especially challenging and complicated. Keeping communication open with your teen is the best preventative measure for violent teen dating. There are warning signs to look for and ways you can help your teen through this rough period in their life.

The majority of problems in teen dating violence occur against teen girls. As a parent, set an example for your teen. If you are in a violent or abusive relationship, it is tough for teens to realize that violence in dating is not acceptable. Teens and kids learn by example. Encourage your children to have healthy and loving relationships by setting an example for them in your personal relationships.

Girls can learn that it is acceptable to be yelled at by their date if they see it at home, just as boys can may think it is acceptable to be aggressive with their date if they see it at home. Being good role models will decrease the chances of your teen becoming involved with someone who is aggressive and disrespectful. Couples argue from time to time. Try to keep marital arguments out of ear shot of your teens whenever possible. Demonstrate to your teen how to argue fairly and show respect for one another even if there are disagreements from time to time in the marital relationship.

Parents can help teens by talking to them about the type of violence that sometimes happens in teen dating. Violence can be physical or emotional. When the abuse is emotional, kids often dismiss the violence in their dating relationships. Many teens do not even realize that emotional abuse exists. The kids are not mature enough to know what behaviors are considered emotional abuse. Unfortunately, the kids think that the emotional abuse is normal. Before teens begin dating, talk to them about respect and tell themhow to recognize the signs of emotional abuse. If they understand what emotional abuse is, they will know that it is wrong and not a normal part of dating. Parents should remember that dating and relationships are completely new to teens.

Most people realize that hitting, slapping, shoving, kicking, spitting, biting and so forth are violent behaviors. These behaviors are all too common in violent teen dating. Emotional abuse can include name calling, humiliation, hurtful sarcasm and being threatened. Both types of violence are often hidden from parents, friends and teachers. The kids suffering from the violence can feel shame and embarrassment. They do not want to tell anyone that there is a problem. Some teens do not even realize that it is not part of normal dating. We have to teach children what is acceptable and not acceptable in a personal relationship.

Reading, Writing, Arithmetic And So Much More…

He was my dream boy. Ever since I was six, I had fallen in love with the evil character in an old movie, making my parents watch the DVD almost every day so I could fantasize about my life with this fictional man. I thought he was handsome and mysterious; strong and protective. I didn’t care if this character was evil and treated women poorly – he was so cute! When I entered college, I never expected to meet a guy who resembled my fictional love in any way. But here he was, this amazing picture of perfection, instantly stealing my heart. And of course, I was forced to admire him from afar … in the cafeteria.

When this man asked me out, I immediately said yes, knowing absolutely nothing about him other than the fact that he sat with the same group of friends each evening for dinner (and that there were no girls present). For so long I had waited to meet a man who fulfilled my childhood fantasy, and now I had finally found him.

Our relationship was doomed from the start. I was so mesmerized by his looks and who I wanted him to be, that I was constantly forced to ignore who he actually was. I never stood up for myself in the relationship when something bothered me; instead, I would shrug it off and pretend it never happened, afraid that if I confronted him that he would break up with me. He enjoyed getting drunk, and (as I would eventually discover) could be considered an alcoholic. Every time we argued, he would send me dozens of text messages and leave me rude voicemails, telling me to “answer [my] damn phone.” One time he sent me thirty text messages, each one repeating the same word: blah (this of course occurred after I kicked him out of my dorm room for passing out and peeing twice in my bed from being so drunk).

Every time something bad happened in the relationship, it was my fault. He would cancel plans on me last minute to hang out with his friends and then be mad at me for being upset. He would say “fuck you” to me during a date when I asked him not to drink. He would apologize and then get angry, screaming at me and telling me I was useless. I thought all of this was normal because I had never been in a healthy relationship before. If only I had known the warning signs, then I could have ended the relationship before I was physically assaulted.

Like so many young girls, I was not educated on the characteristics of healthy relationships. I thought it was normal for a guy to text me fifty times in a row and order me to answer my phone every time he called. My previous relationship had been verbally abusive as well – how was I to know what a normal, healthy relationship consisted of? February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and I want all females to know that it is never okay for someone to treat you like this. You do not deserve to be controlled or have someone continuously put you down. I thought life would be worse off without my dream man; but now that the relationship has ended, I am a much happier and lively person. No one deserves abuse. You are worth so much more than that, and you deserve to be treasured by a truly honorable man.

Teen dating violence comes in many forms. It can be verbal or physical. You don’t have to be physically touched to be assaulted. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, females ages 16 to 24 are more vulnerable to violence from intimate partners than any other age group. Although many cases of dating violence remain unreported, approximately 1 in 5 female high school students have reported being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner, according to a study by Jay Silverman conducted in 2001.

What astonishes me is that, according to a study by the Family Violence Prevention Fund, 81% of parents do not believe teen dating violence is an issue. Eighty-one percent! And 54% of parents have not spoken to their children about dating violence. This is outrageous. Over half of reported rapes occur among teenagers. As a parent, how can you not talk to your children about dating violence? This is such an important issue and should not be understated. If parents won’t educate their children about abuse and dating violence, then who will? It took the school systems so long to even require sex education … who knows how long it will be until safety education is mandated. We all think it will never happen to us … until it does. And when it does, we are forced to deal with the emotional (and physical) consequences of what has happened. Wouldn’t you want to invest in your children’s future by giving them the necessary tools to understand abuse and protect themselves? I encourage all individuals to learn the facts about the prevalence of abuse. This document, compiled by the National Teen Dating Violence Prevention Initiative highlights some of the most astonishing facts. Please, read this if you do not believe dating violence is an issue or occurs:

Education isn’t just about math, English, and science. Education encompasses life skills as well. Safety prevention, awareness, and self-defense are all life skills that every young girl should possess. For more information on training and outreach, please visit www.projectsafegirls.com.

Danger Zone...Teen Dating Violence

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT DATING VIOLENCE?

Dating violence isn’t an argument every once in a while, or a bad mood after a bad day.

Dating violence (or relationship abuse) is a pattern of violent behavior that someone uses against a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Abuse can cause injury or even death, but it doesn’t have to be physical. It can include verbal and emotional abuse—constant insults, isolation from friends and family, name calling, controlling what someone wears—and it can also include sexual abuse.

It can happen to anyone, at any age, no matter what race or religion they are, no matter what their level of education or economic background. Dating violence also occurs in same-sex relationships.

Love Is Not Abuse-Liz Claiborne

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month!

Many may or not be aware that today, February 1, 2010 kicks off Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.

Every day should be recognized as personal safety awareness but this month we will streamline and focus on our young people.

Did you know that 1 in 5 teens in a serious relationship reports having been hit, slapped or pushed by a partner? Not only can abuse be physical but it can be sexual, verbal, emotional and stalking. And, it can even be digital abuse. To make matters worse, dating abuse has also been linked to other serious issues, like drug use, teen pregnancy and suicide.

What's the bottom-line? Teens have the right to be educated about safe and healthy relationships, free from abuse. And, we are going to be shouting from the rooftops all month long and ask that you assist us.

We want to reach as many teens as humanly possible every single day. We need to get this information out to students, teachers, parents, administrators and anyone else that wants to get involved. We will raise awareness nationwide and direct youth to Project Safe Girls as well as other agencies and places that they can get help. We are asking for your help - we need as many voices to be heard.

Please invite your friends, family members, parents, associates and peers to join us as we extend our hand to our young people. Our young people must begin to learn extremely important "life skills" that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Who wouldn't want this vital information and training for themselves, their daughter, sister, any family member or friend?

From the comforts of your home Bethany, Jake (PSG Lead Personal Defense Readiness Instructor) and Anny Jacoby will be joining US Privacy Associates - Red Action Package, created by Law Enforcement Officers on BlogTalkRadio on Sunday, February 7th, 12NOON EST; http://bit.ly/5gJVDZ as we introduce Project Safe Girls and discuss personal safety.

She Called Me Her “Boyfriend”….

Unfortunately, the following stalking experience for a young man is extremely common. I commend him that he didn’t retaliate by lashing out nor physically take matters into his own hands, instead he used his head. Every victim has to use his/her head and be twenty steps ahead of their assailant.

I am a 15 year old guy in the 10th grade. Ever since the 6th grade, I have been harassed by a female student and a few of her friends, but mostly her.

I can’t remember when it started, but I do remember sometime in the 7th grade I had to work on a project with her. While working, she took my pen in placed it in her crotch and told me to get it. I just walked away and worked somewhere else and let it go.

In the 8th grade, while leaving the cafeteria, she and a friend grabbed me in the hall and cornered me. They groped me continuously, even as other students passed by and some saw. It was extremely embarrassing.

I told them to let me go but they wouldn’t let me.
A couple days ago, at a club meeting we both are involved in, while taking a break, she comes over and starts telling me how we go out and how I’m her boyfriend. Her friends laugh. Then she starts groping and rubbing on me. When I stand up to leave with my friend, she pinches my butt and laughs.

These are only a few of many incidents, and I finally had enough. I plan on going to my assistant principal first thing Monday and reporting her. She has made going to school and the club something I dread, and now I have a witness.

As everyone knows, I focus primarily on female abuse and assault; teaching and training them mentally, emotionally and ultimately how SHE can PROTECT AND DEFEND herself. However, I do support males because males can be and are victims as well. I do not expect nor promote a male to “take a frying pan upside the head” and there are some really nasty females out there that are abusive. Unfortunately the statistics do not accurately represent male abuse because males simply did not readily come forward to seek assistance. But….the times are changing and I strongly encourage ANY male that is verbally, emotionally, financially, spiritually and/or physically abused to reach out. Our agencies are working extremely hard to offer males assistance – you are not alone.

• Approximately 380,000 men are stalked annually in the US
• 1 in 45 men will be stalked in their lifetime
• 64% of male victims know their stalker
• 30% of male victims are stalked by an intimate partner
• 10% of male victims obtained a protective order
• 81% of male victims had protection orders violated

If you are a male or you know a male that is being abused or victimized in any manner please reach out for support, guidance and advice. Contact your local and/or national agencies as well as the list below. Remember, you are not alone and NO DESERVES TO BE VICTIMIZED IN ANY MANNER.

If you are in immediate danger, you should call 911.

Kim Kardashian Gets Restraining Order Against Alleged “Joker Face” Stalker Dennis Shaun Bowman

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man who claims they are in love: an unwanted admirer named Dennis Shaun Bowman.

Photo: Kim Kardashian arrives at the premiere of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” in June 2009.

Court papers claim Bowman told Kardashian he is interested in a romantic relationship and sends her numerous messages each day, saying they are in love and will get married.

“I am extremely frightened by Mr. Bowman because he appears to be obsessed with me and is extremely delusional,” Kardashian, 29, wrote in a court filing.

Kardashian’s attorneys obtained a stay-away order Tuesday against Bowman. The 26-year-old alleged stalker is not to contact her in any way, including Twitter.

Kardashian is a star of the reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” which follows the escapades of Kardashian and her family. Her filings stated Bowman has repeatedly shown up at her appearances, often as the Joker from “Batman” covered in facepaint.

Bowman allegedly ignored cease-and-desist letters from her attorney and orders from the Los Angeles police to stop following her.

Her filings detailed a series of close encounters where Bowman tried to reach her at promotional appearances, some of which he heard about on Twitter. However, in some instances he arrived too late or was turned away by security.

Bowman did not immediately return an e-mail message seeking comment. Attempts to find a phone listing for him were unsuccessful.

I thought it would never happen to me...

BY BETHANY CORBIN, GUEST COLUMN:

CHAPEL HILL NEWS - JANUARY 27TH, 2010

I thought it would never happen to me. Throughout my life I had heard stories on the news about escalating relationship violence and always pitied the victims. How did these women become entangled in such dangerous situations? Shouldn't they have seen the warning signs?

I thought these women were naïve and that if I was careful I would never find myself in a similar situation. I was wrong. On April 28, 2009, I was assaulted on the UNC campus by someone I once dated in a well lit and populated area. I was petrified, unable to think, and consumed with fear. Frantically, I begged a bystander to walk me back to my dorm, but when he returned, the bystander just stood there and watched him push me, never offering to intervene.

What gave this man the right to put his hands on me? I was angered, upset and scared out of my mind. However, once I suddenly remembered that I knew how to defend myself, I was overwhelmed with confidence and able to push past the fear, safely escaping the situation.

Unfortunately, many women do not know how to recognize the warning signs of abusive relationships and stay with their partner until it is too late. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, and that one in six women will experience an attempted or complete rape. In North Carolina alone, the State Bureau of Investigation reported approximately 2,239 rapes for 2008. Twenty-five percent of those rapes involved victims between the ages of 16 and 20, and 21.5 percent involved victims ages 11 to 15. Unfortunately, as women, the odds are against us. It is extremely likely that someone we know and love will be affected by domestic violence.

Now, eight months after my assault, I have founded a new program, Project Safe Girls, which offers personal safety and self-defense classes for any female between the ages of 5 and 23. Project Safe Girls is an official division of The Realistic Female Self Defense Company and educates women about domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sexual assault, abduction, healthy relationships, physical self-defense, and more. Project Safe Girls specifically tailors the curriculum to each age group and offers an invaluable experience that will empower females of all ages.

The first portion of the program focuses on safety awareness and prevention. When most females hear the term self-defense, they often assume we are only addressing the physical aspect. Although physical self-defense can be necessary, and is taught in this program, self-defense begins way before any punches are thrown. Anny Jacoby, owner and CEO of The Realistic Female Self-Defense Company, explains, "Fighting back is not about staying in the ring and going ten rounds. We fight males with knowledge, not with strength; and knowledge is a powerful tool. But you must know what your tools (mentally and physically) are and how to effectively use them." After attending a training session, females will feel more confident in their abilities to remain safe and protect their loved ones.

Beginning Jan. 11, Project Safe Girls began operating as part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA's afterschool program for fifth- through eighth- grade girls. In addition to the upcoming YMCA program, Project Safe Girls will travel nationwide to offer training to women in all communities of the United States. The first local training in Chapel Hill will be held this Saturday and is open to all females interested in acquiring the basic life skill of safety.

I am scared to death...he won't stop stalking me!

The more the public becomes aware of the effects and toll that stalking can do to a victim - perhaps the more we will realize that STALKING IS A CRIME and it is NEVER the victim's fault.

I find that it helps to share with my readers real life experiences of stalking victims so just perhaps you will have a better understanding of the devastating effects that this crime as well as others has on victims. This victim's experience is only one of millions.

A man has been stalking me for years. He left obscene lengthy screaming voice mails. Other times, he would lay his phone down by his tv and let the answering machine record it. He played Cheryl Crowe’s song “The First Cut is the Deepest” as a message on my cell phone voice mail. I worked at the high school where my daughter was also a student, and he threatened to come there and get us both.

I was able to get a restraining order against him in 2005, which was granted for one year. Then I moved away.

But he began stalking me on the Internet. He constantly emails me and no matter how many times I block him, he sends it through 3rd party. I just got a poem that he sent through Craig’s List. He has also sent emails to my daughter.

I am scared to death he will find out where I work and live now. To keep myself secret, I now have a PO box in someone else’s name and no land telephone line.

I have called every place I can to get help and nobody will help me because he has not threatened to harm me lately, even though he has in the past as witnessed by the previous restraining order. I have gone to every women’s group, locally, regionally, nationally. I don’t know what to do anymore. The judge here will not issue a restraining order unless there has been two acts of violence. (Well, if someone threatens you, to me THAT is intent, and it only takes one contact to kill somebody.) The paperwork even says harassment on the Internet is grounds but still, the judge won’t do anything.

I am scared to death and every time he contacts me, I start shaking and my heart races.

Many victims become frustrated with the legal system, but they must realize that the problem is NOT that no one will help - the problem is that many of the states stalking laws DO NOT allow the police or courts to do much to combat stalking. In other words - the legal system is not minimizing a victim's fear but it is hard to make it illegal to terrify people since so many different things can scare many people. Many states require physical attacks or threat of harm before law enforcement can intervene. The legal system does the best that they can with the little leverage they are given to deal with stalking.

In NO WAY am I making excuses for our legal system from cops to lawyers to judges. They all know that there is a serious problem and IT'S NOT GOING AWAY. This is why so many Advocates are devoted to extending our experience, hands and voices to make a difference. We must join forces, working together to make changes. Yes, it's a process and frustrating but we (Advocates and Victims) must remain on the same page working toward the ultimate goal - JUSTICE!

Ultimately, the victim must be in control of the crime, so-to-speak. Is it fair, HELL NO! but this is your life and you must be in control. Please read my previous blogs for safety tips and suggestions. Please check out how you can protect you with technology stalking via Project Safety Net, Wired Safety and WHOA .
