Where to find help if you are a young person
You may be in a relationship that doesn’t feel quite right. Abuse in relationships can happen to anyone regardless of age, gender or family situations. It can happen to boys as well as teenagers in same sex relationships.
You can find more information about teenage relationship abuse on the local safeguarding children board website.
