Title of the Paper
Nearly 2200 homicides of the youth between 2003 and 2016, 7% were caused by former or current intimate partners. The highest percentages of the victims were girls. Adolescents’ girls rarely depend on their romantic partners for financial stability, and they are less likely to bear children to cater for or protect (Hinduja,& Patchin, 2020). However, some girls remain and accept a violent relationship due to psychological mistreatment that decimates their confidence, making it hard to start a relationship afresh, it might be risky leaving the relationship, how others will respond.
Periodically, individuals in sincerely damaging connections may not comprehend that they are being mishandled because there’s no savagery included. Likewise, many will excuse or minimize psychological mistreatment since they don’t believe it’s as terrible as physical maltreatment. It’s difficult for those in damaging connections to leave their accomplices after they’ve been continuously caused to feel useless and like there’s no better alternative for them.
Ordinarily, leaving an abusive relationship isn’t just sincerely troublesome, yet can likewise be dangerous. The most hazardous time in a bad relationship is post-separation. Ladies are multiple times bound to be killed in the weeks after leaving their oppressive accomplice than at some other time during the relationship (Scharp, & Dorrance Hall, 2019).
Most girls find themselves in relationships that are not healthy because of the fear of being killed, staring all over again and also being lonely. This however should not allow them to sacrifice their happiness. It’s always important to give oneself a second chance if the relationship they are is toxic. They should just leave or try to solve the problem with the help of a counselor. Dating is not meant to be abusive.
