  • 40% of teenage girls, ages 14 to 17, know someone their age who has been hit or beaten by their partner.
  • Nearly 80% of girls who have been physically abused in their intimate relationships continue to date their abuser.
  • 1 in 4 teenage girls who have been in relationships reveal they have been pressured to take part in intimate relationshps.

    What do I need to know?

    Recognizing abuse in a relationship is difficult, but especially for teens. There are many types of abuse that teens often believe are not abusive or are normal in a relationship. Even though teen relationships may be different from adult relationships in many ways, teens do experience the same types of physical, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse that adults do.


    Teens also face unique obstacles if they decide to get help. Unlike many adults, teens may not have money, transportation, or safe places to go. They may have concerns about lack of confidentiality, reports to police and child protective services, and parental notification. But teens do have rights to a safe and healthy relationship. In some states, teens may apply for restraining or protective orders and get domestic violence services without the help of a parent or guardian.      


    What can I do?
    If you or someone you know is experiencing teen dating violence, consider these steps:
    • Learn about dating and domestic violence and what the laws in your state say about teen victims of domestic violence.
    • Share information you learn with your peers.
    • Support your friends and family members to stay safe in their relationships.
    • Speak out in your community to end teen dating violence.
