Causes of Dating Violence

If you are interested in preventing dating violence then read on. In this paper I will elaborate on how to accomplish a good date and how not to. I'll start by giving examples of people who are prone to violence.

A person with extreme jealousy gets mad when you talk to people , have close friends, or show feelings toward another person. An extremely jealous person may withdraw, sulk, become angry, or even abusive.

A possessive person treats you as if you are their belonging. You will recognize a possessive person because they don't want you to share your time with anyone else. They also don't allow you to give any attention to anyone else.

A person with a controlling attitude completely rules and makes all the decisions in the relationship. They don't think that your point of views are important. They tell you how to dress, who to talk to, and where to go.

Low self-esteem means you don't like yourself. They might say " I'm nothing without you." or " You are the world to me." People with low self-esteem feel the need to have someone in their lives.

People with explosive anger hit walls or locker, yell and threaten people with bodily harm when they get mad. Don't anger these people or you'll get hurt.

If any of these people fit your boyfriend or girlfriend I would try to get out of the relationship, because it could end in dating violence. Not everyone that fit these descriptions are violent. Only the extreme cases are so it's up to you to make the right judgement on how serious they are, so judge well or you could lose the person you were made for.
