Because a man is brought up to believe that he
should always be in control of his life, problems
will occur when he is faced with a world that he
cannot completely control.
When a man is faced with a workplace or
community that he cannot control he may feel
the need to control something else his partner.
Because women are brought up to be passive, to
please others, and to avoid confrontation, the
woman in the situation will not resist so the man
is successful.

Dating is a normal part of teen development.
Dating is part of the experimentation in which
they form their own identity and find out who
they are.
Two-thirds of adolescent dating violence in a
relationship reported that someone else saw the
violence that was experienced.
Peers have an important role to play in helping
other adolescents deal with being victimized.
Studies have shown that African American middle
school youth report more regularly than youths
from other ethnic backgrounds. This may reflect
the cultural values around family connections.
