Teen dating violence is defined as physical, sexual, psychological or emotional violence within a dating relationship between a current or former partner. More than 20% of adolescents experience violence from an intimate partner. Young women between 16-24 experience the highest rates. Unhealthy relationships can have severe short and long term negative consequences on a developing teen, including depression, anxiety, unhealthy behaviors like substance abuse, antisocial behaviors, and thoughts of suicide. Education about healthy relationships and support resources can help prevent dating violence.
