Teen dating violence affects 1 in 3 teenagers. Unfortunately, most of them won't report their abuse.
Dating Violence is not just physical abuse, it is also mental, emotional and sexual abuse.
Dating Violence does not just affect teens short term - It has long term effects - resulting in higher rates of drug use, high risk sexual behavior, and acts of violence and suicide.
This is a group for everyone who cares about this issue - whether they have been affected by it first hand, know someone who has or care passionately about the issue and want to help put a stop to dating violence.
