    The best thing you can do to stop girls being used by boys -older or not, classmates or not - is build up there self esteem so they know a jerk when they see one. And teach them explicitly the signs to look for that show an abusive relationship. That is tricky because many of us don't know them.

    I think it's also important to add that those of us raising boys should talk with them about abuse: don't do it, don't allow it to go on in your presence, etc.

    Violence is not a women's issue; it's a human issue.
