How do you get a boy to stop sexual harassing you?
If you are in a relationship GET OUT!!!!!! because it can only get worse as for him sexually harassing you...you need to tell someone. I'm pretty sure that sexual harassment is against the law. If it comes to the worst,... call the police and if he tries to rape you beat him up and kick him in the huh huhs u know whats. If he tells you he will kill you or your family if u tell dont listen to him i have had someone tell me that b4 and i told anyways and they got into a lot of trouble if he comes back and does it again do watever it takes to make him stop (idont mean murder) why dont you try threatening him? Tell him that if he doesnt stop you going to call the police and if you need someone to talk to you can talk to whomever sometimes it helps to talk to a complete stranger(a counselor) your parents or a friend i wish you luck and write back if any of these work but b4 you try any of these rell him no very loudly and agressively if he doesnt listen try to get him to stop by doing anything ok i rlly hope you can make him stop i hate boys like this and cant stand them hope the best 4 u :) :) :)
On a additional note; if he is sending you email etc or something that (he thinks) can't be traced, the police can trace it. Sexual harassment is illegal in every form, whether it's in person or online. Talk to your parents.
Do men get physically and mentally abused?
Yes, more often than women ormenthink. Most men are brought up not to hit women and stick to that practice so when a man is hit, slapped, shoved, scratched or has things thrown at him or she is verbally abusive he takes it because most men feel everything is revolved around women being abused and that women are the weaker sex. Men don't realize that there are programs out there to help them and that society is becoming moreaware that men can be physically or mentally abused as well as women. Men that are abused are basically in their own private world of hell. They can't tell family, they can't talk to their male friends because most other men would wonder what is wrong with him for not 'slapping her down and controlling the situation.' The poor guy being abused can't win for losing. I know two cases of female abuse againsta malemate. My girlfriend's son is married toa young woman that is a heavy drinker and gets nasty when she does drink. One night he was in bed sound asleep and she went over and punched him square in the nose! Of course he woke up in great shock and couldn't figure out what happened to him. He staggered to the bathroom to look in the mirror at his bloody nose and she nailed him behind the knees with a golf club! He hit the floor like a rock! As soon as he could function he picked up the phone, called the police and had her taken away in handcuffs and let her stew overnight in jail. She has never hit him since, but is verbally abusive. The other case was a man that works with my brother. This man would come to work with stitches in his face and black eyes. When asked what happened he would cover it up by saying he got into a brawl at a pub the night before rather than admit his wife beat him up. He eventually confided in my brother. Just like some women feeling they are stuck with an abusive man, this man felt he was doomed to stay with his wife and was actually a victim of her abuse! One day he came into work and announced his wife had a massive heart attack and died. Of course the coworkers were saddened to hear this (what other reaction could they show) and he smiled and said, 'I'm free at last!' Sad, but true.
What is the difference between family violence and domestic violence?
They are the same, different names for the same action
Domestic violence can also be considered the use or "threat" of use of force which causes fear or intimidation. Battery is the actual physical assault.
In terms of criminal statutes (of the states that have separate statutes for domestic violence), domestic violence can be considered an umbrella term for a variety of offenses. This may include domestic assault, domestic battery, child endangerment, and other offenses. Domestic battery (or "battery domestic violence") generally refers to intentional and unlawful use of force against another person. This does not strictly apply to family members - it can also include significant others or members of the same household.
Again, not all states have specific statutes for domestic violence offenses. In some states, a battery crime, even against a spouse, falls under the general category of battery.
What does the word threaten mean?
threat means to be abused by someone or something hurtful that someones says about you.
Another View:
A threat is a communicated intent to inflict harm or loss on another or on another's property.
As uncomfortable and distressing as they may be, threats unaccompanied by any means or method with which to carry them out, are an exercise of Constitutionally protected First Amendment free speech.
What are the causes of street violence?
Generally, a lack of proper parenting, lack of decent male role models in the family, also abuse. Studies show the complexity of the problem, but following are 10 causes cited by children.
1. The Media
2. Substance Abuse
3. Gangs
4. Unemployment
5. Weapons
6. Poverty
7. Peer Pressure
8. Broken Homes
9. Poor Family Environment / Bad Neighborhoods
10. Intolerance / Ignorance
Sociologists and psychologists have been very interested in studying the causes of youth violence, and it has become clear that it is a complex social problem. While it sometimes can be connected to a tolerance of violence at home and within the community (including the media), it's not necessarily the direct result of family violence or even of media violence alone. Media violence, family violence and violence within communities are all ways in which a general tolerance of violence are expressed.
Interestingly, recent research suggests that sibling violence has a strong connection to youth violence. Brothers and sisters who engage in violent or bullying behaviors at home are more likely to be guilty of bullying and violence among their peers too, and as they get older they are also more prone to dating violence. When parents fail to monitor bullying among siblings at young ages, tolerance of those behaviors is implied. As children grow older, they apply the same behavior to all their other relationships.
In addition to being connected to low levels of parent involvement, youth violence is also connected to low socio-economic status and other factors that are difficult to untangle since they are somewhat interdependent.
There can be many factors that contribute to parents being unable to monitor their children's relationships appropriately, and this may be one connection to lower socioeconomic status. For instance a single mother who doesn't have a strong support network of family and friends to help may have little time to monitor children as she would otherwise.
It can be tempting to oversimplify the causes of youth violence--but social issues like this one need to be addressed on several levels if they are to be prevented.
Is calling someone a thief considered abuse?
- If you can't prove this person actually stole anything then yes, it's abuse and it's also slander! If that person gets tired of you accusing them or spreading the rumor they have stolen they can take you to court. It's called "Defamation of Character."
- Unless you actually witness someone stealing it's very difficult to prove a person has stolen anything.
Conclusion of Archimedes principle in lab?
The conclusion of the Archimedes principle is simply that the upward buoyant force that is experienced by a body immersed in a fluid, is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This allows the volume of an object to be measured by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces after submerging. For any immersed object, the volume of the submerged portions equals the volume of fluid it displaces.

Should middle schoolers have cell phones?
Yes, for a few reasons. If they walk home alone or their parents work and they have to go home to an empty house, also because they're getting more mature and alot of kids have cell phones in middle school or are getting one, it's a big deal. 1. In case of an emergency, middle school children can be saved by having a cell phone. 2. If parents have busy schedules or have to work late, children with cell phone would be able to call their parents and let them know where they are and what they are going to do. 3. Phones can give parents communication throughout the day to know children's whereabouts.
What happens inside your heart when you love someone?
The heart is just a muscle that's job is to circulate blood in the body. There is no actual physiological change when you love someone, that's just kind of an old saying.
Why would an ex-boyfriend steal or destroy your property and when caught deny that he did it?
Abusers and criminals invariably deny that they had acted abusively or criminally.
I would say to see if they can still control you. The reason they deny an criminal activity or abusive activity it is because they believe they did nothing wrong. God Bless
one scenario suggests that the ex believes the objects belong to him. He may feel that you stole it and that destroying it will keep it out of your hands as it is already out of his hands. As for denying the destruction of your property... how could he destroy your property when he feels that it is his. He would be feeling that it is only his stuff that he was breaking.
Will an abuser play on your fear of abandoment?
You bet they will! They will use every ploy in the book to keep control of their victim. They will have the victim's head so full of lies about how tough things will be without them (especially financially) that the victim will honestly believe there is no hope of them surviving on their own self esteem.

Good luck! answer Oh yeah they will! My N found me right after a divorce. OK so I was vulnerable. Didn't like being alone...yada yada. The first night I had him over my house I heard him humming the tune "lonely Girl" under his breath. It seemed a little creepy and a tad malicious. What a red flag it shoud have been! many months later and after considerable pain and heartache I have finally dumped him for good. I will always remember that incident and how he had me "pegged" so early on. By the way, I am beginning to enjoy being on my own.

Do women play mind games to make you think they could be unfaithful?
Only those who aren't really interested in a lasting, commited relationship.
AnswerAbusive women yes. They want you to think they are a limited time offer and you better do and they want as sooo many men want them. Its a crock. They play this game to keep you hooked. When she pulls that crap just say something like, that's nice. Dont show any emotion about it. If she asks if it bothers you1 say NO. Dont let her see weakness in you. She is insecure and is testing you to see how much you care. Have you shown her you care? AnswerYes but it could be because they read it in some magazine:))Anyway some might do that because they think its a way to keep the spark in the relationship or to make their guy jealous or so that this will bring them closer to each other...(as in she wouldn't seem desperate for him and have the control in the relationship)Yes, anytime you put such an emotional burden i.e. blaming another person for your choice to commit such an act i.e. (suicide) you are affecting their psychological arena, if you were to follow through with such a "selfish" act, the person may blame themselves for the rest of their lives, become depressed, and not be able to function normally, why would anyone want to put that on someone, especially someone they may love very much.
look i like a guy from last 7 yrs . he knows this what should i do ...he abuses everyone and me too . i truly loved him but today i m regreting so now i jus what to make him realise that he would never get a girl like me in his life and he is a big time looserrrr .
Can another person get you mad enough to make a bad choice?
Of course. Have you ever said something that you didn't really mean during an argument? We all have, and the principle is the same. You made a poor choice because you were enraged.
What does it mean a boy slaps you on the shoulder?
was it abuse, or playing around? if it was a hard slap and a direct one, REPORT HIM TO THE POLICE!!! if it was like a really wimpy nondirect slap, he was joking aroun and rough housing. if youre a girl it probably meant he likes you!
Why does an abusive man compete with you for others' attentions?
It's another form of control. In general, abusive men tend to be very insecure and there is concern that without controling you they would not otherwise be entitled to YOUR attention. They don't want others to see you as a valuable person so they do whatever is possible to control everything in your life. It's a sign of a very unhealthy person. Control. If he can get others attention over you, then he has yet again controlled you which is what abusive people do.
