Unhealthy relationships • Physical Abuse • Physical abuse occurs when someone physically hurts you, such as by hitting you or throwing something at you. Even if someone only hits you once or doesn't hurt you that badly, it is a big deal.

Unhealthy relationship • Sexual Abuse • Sexual abuse is when someone forces you into unwanted sexual activity, especially through threats or coercion. In a healthy sexual relationship, you shouldn't feel threatened, pressured, or uncomfortable with your partner. If you feel these negative emotions, it is likely that you are being abused.

Unhealthy relationship • Emotional & Verbal Abuse • Emotional and verbal abuse are somewhat more difficult to define. These types of abuse often involve angry outbursts, withholding of emotional responses, manipulative coercion, or unreasonable demands. Verbal abuse is often insulting and humiliating, with the abuser making fun of or ridiculing the target. • Those who are being emotionally or verbally abused are often made to feel that their perception of reality is incorrect and that their feelings are wrong and unimportant.
