Teens dating and violence
It is important to teach our children what a healthy and unhealthy relationship looks like through modeling the healthy behavior and talking to your children. I have listed some facts below for parental awareness.
Twenty percent of high school girls have reported being physically and or sexually abused by a dating partner.
Forty percent of girls 14-17 report knowing someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend.
Twenty percent of homicide victims are between 15-24 yrs of age.
It is hard to leave an abusive relationship. Victims need support, safety, and assistance in order to leave.
