A question about abuse

Jasmine

I dated this guy for about 9 months (I'm only 15, I'll be 16 on Saturday) and my friends and even my family told me he was abusive, so I just recently broke up with him 4 days ago. He never hit me in the face, but he slapped me on the thigh a number of times and it left a red handprint. He also hit me in private areas such as my breasts and my vagina. He said he never intended to hurt me and he was only playing around, but it concerned me none the less. He would also make jokes about my ex-boyfriends who pressured and molested me. I wasn't sure if this was abuse at first, but could you tell me your opinions?
