February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Dating abuse is a pattern of coercive, physically violent, intimidating, or manipulative behaviors used to exert power and control over a partner. While we define dating violence as a pattern, that doesn’t mean the first instance of abuse isn’t also dating violence; we simply recognize that dating violence tends to involve a series of abusive behaviors over a course of time.
It can be difficult to tell the difference between a healthy, unhealthy and abusive relationship. While there are many warning signs of abuse, here are ten of the most common to look for:
- Checking your cell phone or email without permission.
- Constant put-downs.
- Extreme jealousy or insecurity.
- Explosive temper.
- Isolating you from family or friends.
- Making false accusations.
- Mood swings.
- Physically hurting you in any way.
- Possessiveness.
- Telling you what to do.
It's important to remember that no two relationships are the same and these behaviors occur across what we call the "Relationship Spectrum." If you or someone you know sees the warning signs in their relationship, help is available.

Staff/Faculty Highlight: Eddy Medina
Eddy Medina, a student enrollment specialist at the Farmersville Campus, started working at Collin College as a student assistant in 2017 while pursuing his Associate of Arts degree. He later began working as a program assistant for Continuing Education from 2019-2021 and has been in his role since March 2021.
Medina has worked in higher education since 2017. He worked as a graphic/web designer in the printing industry for about 20 years prior to Collin. Medina needed some credentials to succeed as an industry expert, so he earned his Associate of Arts degree while working part-time at Collin. He then went on to complete his Bachelor of Arts in Biblical-Theological Studies and obtained a Master of Education in Instructional Design and Technology from Liberty University, all while employed at Collin.
Why do you love your job?
