Certain methods are used by abuser in order to gain power over their prospective
teen victim. These methods come in forms of mental, emotional, physical, and sexual. All of these methods are
created to instill intimidation and fear. No teens are exempted from these methods including the Asian
teens.

extra cautiousness when dating because the favorite subject of dating violence nowadays is girls.
The emotional method of abuse comes in brainwashing form. It involves mind games
to destruct the self-esteem of the teens. The abuser may call his or her teen partners some offensive names or put
on harshly criticize words until the teen feel being worthless.

intimidation. This method expresses possible harms such as throwing hateful facial glares or other things, and
angry outbursts. Isolation is also used by abusers to control their teen partner. Normally, an abuser would demand
the full attention of his or her partner. The abuser would also deny socialization and support for his or her
partner. If this happens, the teen will never seek help from other people.
To gather more control over the teen partner, the abuser would often use peer
pressure. The abuser will threat his or her partner about saying some unlikely things to a group. As a result, the
teens will feel threatened by the possibility that their peers will look down on them.
Sexual manipulation is another method used by people in controlling their teen
partner. This method is likely to happen from teen chat. If a teenager meets someone from online chatting or
dating, and personally dates with him or her in a place of fewer crowds, sexual abuse is likely to happen. In most
cases, the abuser will put drugs on the drink of their teen partner in order to perform violence.
In order to prevent dating violence on teens, dating someone whom you can trust is
the best thing to do. Violence can happen anywhere, therefore it is important that your family and friends know
where you will be going on your date as well as the people who are with you. Moreover, always bring a cell phone
and enough money for your quick solutions in case anything happens on your date.
