Reports show it is a big problem and becoming more and more common. Most cases are teen boys being aggressive and abusive to high school girlfriends.

Why do you think that is?

Share your opinion....anyone, anyone?

not enough discipline at home...too many single parent homes where the parent has to work 2 to 3 jobs just to make ends meet...and any type of discipline is school is a big NO-NO... angry

Some of my daughter's friends have been in abusive relationships in high school and even in middle school. I think they see it at home and they think it's normal. Also, young girls can be very insecure and they put up with abuse just so that they will have a boyfriend.

I agree these things may be a problem but I am not getting the connection to violence in teen dating. Can you elaborate? Thanks.

I'm not abusive I guess that's why I can't get a date. Seriously it's pathetic that any abuse happens in any dating.

Kids have no idea of punishment anymore. Starts in the schools with no spankings, and then if you discipline them at home, you can go to jail for child abuse.
Society is raising a whole new class of people nowadays and it is getting quite scary.

I am not getting the impression most of them are known as troublemakers and then it's a surprise when they are found to be abusive with their girlfriends...that is odd isn't it...I mean why just the girlfriend?

Easy target, and like Hiker said young girls are so insecure most of the time they'll take the abuse

Exactly

A few years ago. A leather strap would fix anyone with,(so called) ADD.
Now the kids are over medicated and under spanked

tune up a rap station and listen to the words. Violence is exalted in many songs in that particular music style. Play a few very popular vid games for a while, watch the crap we adults put on tv and in the movies. Is it any wonder that they are not more violent as teens? JMAO

I don't think the boys are suffering from ADD though.I don't think that is the issue here.

I'm not a fan of spanking actually, but certainly feel that kids need to see consequences for crimes. They will as adults for sure! flowerforyou
