question 5 of 5
which of the following is true of teen relationships and money?
most teenagers dont have much money, so financial abuse isnt a problem.
teen relationships dont involve adult issues like intimacy or money.
50% of teenagers have shared bank accounts with their boyfriend or girlfriend.
one-third of teen relationships show warning signs of financial abuse.

Explanation:

• The first option is false because financial abuse can occur even with limited funds (e.g., controlling a teen's small earnings, forcing them to give gifts/ money).
• The second option is false because teens do navigate money-related dynamics (like splitting costs for dates) and intimacy in relationships.
• The third option is false; shared bank accounts are extremely rare for teen romantic partners.
• The fourth option is supported by research on teen relationship abuse, which identifies financial control as a common warning sign in a significant portion of teen relationships.

Answer:

D. One-third of teen relationships show warning signs of financial abuse.
