Teenage girls as young as 13 in Glasgow could be in controlling and manipulative relationships.

It has prompted Glasgow Women's Aid to set up a helpline and campaign called 'Enough!' to teach them how spot the signs gaslighting and coercive control.

The Instagram page is teaching young girls about terms like "love bombing" and "negging", what they mean, how to spot them and why they're signs of an unhealthy relationship.

This is because young people don't often identify with adult relationship terminology like "domestic abuse".
