** The Problem
------------------------------------------------------------

Around 10% of teens in the U.S. have experienced physical or sexual violence while dating. Up to 75% report being emotionally or psychologically abused by a romantic partner.

Even more upsetting is how often it happens without anyone noticing. One third of teens who experience abuse never tell anyone about it.

An unhealthy relationship increases the risk that teens will suffer long-term behavioral and health consequences, such as depression, eating disorders, or drug abuse. Dating violence is also likely to affect their academic performance, damage their self-esteem, and make them feel less capable of pursuing their dreams.


** The Solution
------------------------------------------------------------

It’s important to educate ourselves ([link removed]) on the issue so we can recognize the signs of teen dating violence and be able to have a conversation before things escalate. It’s equally important to support programs, like Dream It, Be It, that empower vulnerable teens to pursue their dreams of success no matter what gender-based obstacles they face.


** How You Can Help
