Understand the Warning Signs of Dating Abuse

In addition to speaking with kids, teenagers and young adults regarding how fabulous they are because of their collective differences, Different is Fabulous also instructs teenagers regarding the warning signs of dating abuse.
Break the Cycle states in part, "Being able to tell the difference between healthy, unhealthy and abusive relationships can be more difficult than you would think. No two relationships are the same, so what’s unhealthy in one relationship may be abusive in another. Although there are many signs to pay attention to in a relationship, look for these common warning signs of dating abuse:
Checking cell phones, emails or social networks without permission
Extreme jealousy or insecurity
Constant belittling or put-downs
Explosive temper
Isolation from family and friends
Making false accusations
Constant mood swings towards you
Physically inflicting pain or hurt in any way
Possessiveness
Telling someone what they can and cannot do
Repeatedly pressuring someone to have sex
