To teens who are in a relationship, it may be hard to recognize that domestic violence does occur because we relate it more to adults.

Well guess what? It happens, in all communities. Yes, even in the Muslim community. And though you may not really want to believe that teenagers can be in abusive relationships, especially teenagers who are not supposed to be dating, here are a few warning signs to open your eyes and find out what you can do to help. You may not be in an abusive relationship, but a friend of yours could be. They may not be able to cry for help but you can help them by pointing out to them the problems and getting help.
