Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

It could be that many have experienced considerable humiliation, bullying, and rejection at school that increases the likelihood of violence in adulthood. Within same-sex relationships, homophobia can increase abusive behavior if a partner uses it as a psychological weapon by threatening to expose the relationship to parents or employers.
