Abuse isn’t always just physical, it’s can be verbal, emotional, etc. If you feel like you’re in a abused, talk to a trusted friend or family member, counselor, or teacher.

That’s a real friend. It would’ve been so much easier to stay silent, but she didn’t.

It‘s better to stay single than to stay in an abusive relationship.

This is better than I thought. Especially the end. Perfect advice for children coming up into this fallen world.

this guy obviously doesn’t want her to me happy . if he don’t like the clothes you wear , yo girlfriends or the thought of you painting gets to him . DROP HIMMMM!!!

I was dreading that she would have foolishly relented and gone back to him one more time just to straighten things out. As a prosecutor, I had a case of domestic abuse where the woman went back after pulling away from an abusive drug addict boyfriend just to clear things up and the guy killed her.

This guy is like the textbook definition of a gaslighter

The moment Mike smashed the painting it was really heartbreaking. It was very painful

The way Mike treated her is an example to all males of how not to treat a woman if you really want to keep her.

Unfortunately, this is all too common. Remember the first time you are disrespected Run. Cut all contact. Go for help. Tell people you trust. Noone has a right to abuse you. If they choose to abuse you, they never loved you. Life free your best life. God bless you 🙏♥.

I'd hate to be in a relationship like this...

her mum needs to tell her what real love is and what love isn't. Tell her she deserves to be treated better.

love is blind ❌ blind by love ✅

It was good to see how her mother had her back by protecting her and telling her how to keep him away.

8:00 omg such amazing acting! That "no" changed my whole life :D

Him: oh, and by the way, I want us to get married, as soon as we graduate. 😖

If people don't like you for you that's thier lost

That guy is a real jerk

Now that’s good parenting 👏🏾👏🏾

Nobody is going to tell me who I can or can't be friends with. And if she wants to go to art school, she can.

Controlling someone isn’t right

Great, supportive mother. G-d bless her!

The, "Did I StUtTeR" 😆

Haven’t seen this in so long! I’m so glad you guys are making videos like this again! 😃

That dress is so beautiful and she looks great.

If you were Sara, how would you have reacted to Mike's abuse? A. You could just ignore what you're feeling and try to get out of that situation by acting like a victim. That's called being COLD or passive. But that won't get you out of that situation and will only make it worse. B. You could explode at him and that will probably get you out of that situation. That's called being HOT or aggressive. But talking back to him and/or acting tough around him will still make it worse and anger him more. C. Be COOL or assertive and break up with Mike in a calm and controlling manner. Please reply with your answer below.

A true friend speaks up always

Mike's a mind controller

that's the first red flag 1:51 ''if I lost you'' ??? pls that had me cracking up.

I love a strong and wise mother ! 🙂😌😁😃

“If your a real friend you won’t tell” If your not a real friend you won’t tell If you’re a real friend you will tell no matter the consequences. -my friend

I loved the message in the ending note I want us to realize that it's also the other way around males can be involved in relationships where females are abusive too anyway great job I gave it a like.

I do music, and if I were dating someone who does art, I would compliment her on it

I would've broken up with him the moment he'd say "did I stutter?"

Girl you don't know what love is. He belongs in jail. If he hurts you. He'll do it again. If he kills you. He'll still go to jail for murder nobody gets away with that. In jail the inmates will have a field đây with him.

I was in two abusive relationships they are hard to leave

She has real talent in painting and love her paintings!

He did not accidentally knock something over.

Uncle Gary's performance stole the show for me personally.

Why in the hell she still with him if he treats her like trash 🗑

Reminds me of what happened with my Ex. Good video

stalking is a crime in all 50 states. Once you tell the person NOT to contact you, I would recommend NOT blocking them. If you block them, they will still call, text, email, you just won't SEE it, nor will you have that evidence to PROVE in court that they have continued to stalk you after you said nO. If you do see their attempts, you can print those out, and collect them to prove they are stalking. All the people helping her are great here in this video too. It's difficult to get that kind of support once you're an adult, And many victims still don't realize how dangerous these individuals are

I can relate to this short film when I was a senior in high school

picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor

Full blown malignant narcissism even at that age, wow

I would never treat my girl like that.

This is heartbreaking 💔😭. I feel so bad for Sarah

As an older person, i had my share of abusive situations. Rather be single than be in negative relations called torturesjops. People with whom i worked said you could do bad and better by yourself

I like her mom & friend helping her it’s always good thing I understand how she feels and um… some relationship can be hard it’s not easy but if you find someone who truly loves, care about you just the way you are not for anything I seen how relationships looks like no one is perfect we all are trying our best in life

Today's gonna be tough; your gonna need to be tougher .

Me or painting? YOU GO, mr. abuser!!!😢😮

why does she shout in lower case

Poor Sarah. She deserves better but there's a guy out there who'll treat her right

Sarah's mom be like: how oblivious can i be

This is why I like staying single cause I don’t want to go through that

The guy is obviously a jerk for smashing her painting. He should not be in a relationship with any girl if he is going to be so abusive like that.

WoW really what kinda guy he is it's seem he has no respect for her 😣😢. Hay girl you don't need him . he not right for you girl I am so sorry ok.

Mike doesn't know what love is

Yes abuse can also involve stalking

Love is a powerful thing and has the potential to be the death or life of free will.. Chose what to love and don’t let love choose you because we may hate and despise what it is we love.

4:40 pure stalker behavior their

He also cornered her which is never okay and the fact he broke into her house with the spare key. Plus someone's gotta put a restraining order against Mike

The trauma from Mike abusing Sarah it will stay with her.

Agreed 💯 Dating Abuse is No Joke 😔 I was in That Situation Once Before

To prevent Mike from coming into Sara’s house, Sara could set up some booby traps outside of the house.

Me: "No one finds out Sarah really? Some one will"

One more important thing, if he’s keeps harassing you and getting physical, call the police.

wow, has her very own television and dresser and everything

Okay well they tried but it doesn't happen like that. We would be so lucky if it did because then we would know to walk away right away. You don't get those behavior at all in fact they'll butter you up and tell you that they would never take you away from your friends or family and they wouldn't get in the way of your dreams and then it becomes subtle hints of being disappointed and jealous of your accomplishments and then it starts slowly turning to demands. The guys who start their relationships off like this don't stay in relationships. The only reason why many abused women stay with their abusers is because they had a bunch of time with them where they weren't abusing them, fell in love and emotionally attached.

It's a kick in the chest for me just Mike treating Sarah badly

Sarah's mom is really right about Mike.

If you really love Mike he wouldn't have destroyed your painting, kid.

Teenage dating abuse is not OK and that is against the law, I’m glad she’s not his boyfriend anymore and she should’ve put a restraining order against him!

Me: "Sarah you have to not talk to him anymore, i can't deal with it anymore."

This breaks my heart when i first saw Mike destroy that painting

I can't believe Mike is telling her to give him her phone like come on not cool

Mike is territorial who does he think he is saying painting bothers him and what's wrong with her painting

Good Short Movie....Good Parenting Mom

Been there and didn’t know it at the time. She left me for a guy that she claimed ( I hate that I have to doubt this) physically abused her. She tried to contact me even years after I married someone else (20 years and still going strong). She Kept leaving controlling messages that were blaming me for our break-up (That I lead her to cheat because he took care of her better than I did, etc).

Bye bye Mike

I dumped a guy in January like this. I did everything to make sure he doesn't ever think about coming back 😂. Stood up for myself and spoke up .

people who control you and your life are not it. drop them ASAP

Kids don't understand how fast things like that get out of hand! Thats not love!!

If I was a mother, I wanna make sure there was a restraining order on that kid

What if you don't have friends?

Her friend she entered in the art contest

the irony that his name is Mike 🤣🤣🤣 My controlling ex was Mike

Aww that's 😔 😟 🙁 😥

Me and my boyfriend are completely

what causes people to act like the bf in the video because I was acting like that to my bf when I was 12 to 15 (same person) I changed and I don't act like that anymore im wondering if its just cause of how young I was or my younger childhood im not sure

No painting?!? Wtf

I've been in both marriage and relationship for years verbal and fiscal abuse it ant worth it

Was this filmed in Youngstown Ohio? They mention the Butler Art Gallery, and the two girls seemed (?) to be talking while standing on the Silver Suspension Bridge in Mill Creek Park....

I’ve been in a relationship like this. emotionally and I was completely drained. my friends could tell that I was not happy, I had to cut out some of my guy friends bc he said I had to. he told me all the time that he loved me but he was always controlling things and telling me to stop doing things I love. I’m so grateful that God took my out of that relationship If anyone sees any of these red flags, plz get out of the relationship. It’s only gonna get worse. don’t be infatuated with them bc they look good. It’s about how they treat you♥️🙃😁

10:16 A few months ago, I paid a visit to my mom’s best friend who is like my godmother/aunt. She lives in SF and the last two times I was there, there was a sign on her and her neighbor’s front door that reads: “To: Terrance Buckley Because of your past behavior, you are not welcome here at 34/36 Lexington Street. If you are in this doorway, you are trespassing. Please leave immediately or the San Francisco PD will be called” Sarah’s family should put up a the exact same sign on their front door but with Mike’s name on it, and the sign should also say “we will NOT have any conversation with you”

If I had a girlfriend I would never treat her like that ever!

she was lucky have best friend mum and uncle looking at for her . if your boyfriends or girlfriend abuse you end it have right way have someone there like male friend or best friends there with you tell your dad and mum what gonna on they loves you if you scared tell them to have friend with you as support they have your back remember you are stong .

Sometimes it is hard for someone to talk about it and i have been there before

A message to all women: Just because men are more abusive, does not mean you should discriminate or abuse them. Men can be the targets as well.

I didn’t like the way he looked at her when she came down the stairs.
