• ​Teens who suffer dating abuse are subject to long-term consequences like alcoholism, eating disorders, promiscuity, thoughts of suicide, and violent behavior.
• ​33% of adolescents in America are victim to sexual, physical, verbal, or emotional dating abuse.
• 8 States in the U.S. do not consider a violent dating relationship domestic abuse. Therefore, adolescents, teens, and 20-somethings are unable to apply for a restraining order for protection from the abuser.
• 50% of young people who experience rape or physical or sexual abuse will attempt to commit suicide.
• Only 1/3 of the teens who were involved in an abusive relationship confided in someone about the violence.
