Usually they have bruises or wounds on their bodies. If there are no physical signs, look for personality changes. Victims of abuse will not usually tell because they know their abusers and are afraid of getting hurt more.

different kinds of abuse may have different effects. either way, this will affect the person's physical and mental behavior towards anything.

Oh! there are teens who are fun in joining a fraternity/sorority and the leaders of the group are abusing their members through paddle in the parts of their body of which it can not be seen. This act is called as initiation for joining their fraternity. It is an irony , it is called as brotherhood but to join them you have to submit yourself to a corporal punishment.

lying
being distracted or unfocused
bruises/wounds if physically hurt
low self esteem

Aside from what loki246 mentioned, these kids are usually depressed and or very angry!
|
you know they are in an abusive situation when they fear whoever it is that abuses them. they walk on egg shells around this person and would do anything to avoid a blow out. Another sign is when the abuser belittles the abused person.
