- Constant put-downs
- Extreme jealousy or insecurity
- Explosive temper
- Isolating dating partner from family or friends
- Making false accusations

REPORTING DATING VIOLENCE
Any student who is a victim, witnesses or has knowledge of a dating violence should report it to a mandated reporter: school personnel, police department, OCS, health practitioner, mental health, members of the clergy, etc.
It is strongly recommended that victims of dating violence inform their parent(s) immediately of the incident.
