4 Warning Signs of an Abusive Teen Relationship

Our friend James West over at Total Life Counseling Center had this to say on the topic of "Abusive Teen Relationships."
"Having a teen dating in today’s world is quite a challenge! Because so many
teens are accepting some level of abuse as 'normal' in relationships, knowing
the warning signs of a potentially abusive relationship become critical."

He goes on to list and discuss 4 signs that parents should be aware of. These are:
1. The relationship becomes very serious quickly.
2. Controling behaviors are very aparent in the relationship.
3. One begins to isolate the other from friends and family.
4. Veberal abuse

He talks more in depth on his blog about these 4 red flags.
