About 40% of teenagers find themselves in abusive relationships, according to Reducing the Risk - an organization dealing with domestic abuse. The numbers climb even higher when looking specifically at emotional violence: 72% of girls and 51% of boys have experienced it. In its guide, Mission Prep identifies several common forms - from verbal abuse and gaslighting to bullying and possessive behavior.
A spokesperson states: "According to the World Health Organization, teenagers may be particularly vulnerable to emotional abuse due to the physical, emotional, and social changes they go through during this stage of development. Studies have shown that children and adolescents are also less likely to report emotional abuse - and instead may be more open to discussing it as adults."
Spotting emotional abuse early allows parents to step in sooner, which can reduce long-term psychological effects. Using the guide, readers will be able to identif the difference between normal teenage behavior and harmful patterns more effectively.
Mission Prep notes that emotional abuse can seriously harm teenagers' mental health: teens who experience it may struggle with low self-esteem, have trouble forming healthy relationships, or face problems at school. Without proper help, any follow-on issues that do occur can continue into adulthood.
While parents often focus on children's peers, emotional abuse can come from anyone in a teen's life, be that their own family members, teachers, or coaches.
Mission Prep stresses the importance of safe communication environments because emotional abuse typically silences its victims. Teens often feel afraid to speak up, ashamed of their experiences, or manipulated into keeping quiet.
It can also be effective to seek professional help, and Mission Prep uses several proven therapies that target different healing needs. CBT helps teens identify and change negative thought patterns that developed during abuse. EMDR offers a structured way to process trauma, while DBT teaches practical emotional regulation skills - giving teenagers tools for building healthier relationships in the future.
