It is never ok when you are abused in any way by someone in your family, someone you are in a relationship with or someone were in a relationship with. People should not:
- hurt you or threaten to hurt you
- make you feel scared or upset on purpose
- make fun of you
- hide things that you need to communicate or move around
- control what you can do, where you can go or who you can meet
- stop you seeing your family, friends or pets
- follow you or spy on what you are doing
- control your money and what you can buy
- force you to have sex or do sexual things that you don’t want to do
- force you to live somewhere that you don’t want to – it could be a different country
- force you to marry someone you don’t want to marry
- cut or injure your private parts
