Pushing, hitting or kicking the other person’s rage

Threats

Break or throw objects during an argument or fight
If your relationship is transgressing any of these limits, the behavior must be stopped immediately or the relationship must end. If you are having trouble ending the relationship, seek the help of an adult who cares about your well-being.
Talk to a trusted adult about how to end an abusive relationship safely. Use what you have learned to try to make your next relationship better.
There are no excuses for abuse
Nothing you say or do is a reason to be treated badly
When things have calmed down, you can tell your partner things like these:
“I can not stand you insulting me. Do not do it again. ”
“Do not treat me like this again. I do not deserve you to do this to me. ”
“If you are angry, tell me and I can help you. You do not get anything out of screaming and swearing. ”
“If you ever treat me like this again, it’s all over between us.”
Obedience is not respect
Nothing someone says or does is a reason to be abusive
You deserve to be loved and respected. Using force, power or control only makes you get what you want. This is not the way to make you respect.
If you dominate or mistreat your partner it is possible that you get what you want, but you lose the respect, support and love of your partner.
If you are crossing the limits, STOP.
If you can not stop, seek help.
A teacher, mentor or school counselor can help you learn to treat your partner with respect.
A spiritual leader or an adult from an activity or club outside the school can help you control emotions such as anger or jealousy and avoid abusive behaviors.
By changing your behavior, you will get the true respect, support and love you deserve.
