Georgia has the highest rate of teen dating violence of any state according to the CDC. Over 100 teens lost their lives to abuse in 2010 and 1 in 3 teens in Georgia experience some form of dating abuse. Teen dating abuse comes in many forms including threats, insults, isolation, stalking, and physical or sexual violence. While 80% of adults do not see teen dating abuse as a problem, stories from victims like Erica illustrate the toll it can take in destroying lives and self-esteem. Organizations in Georgia like PADV work to educate teens, but more comprehensive prevention programs and a statewide curriculum are still needed to adequately address this serious issue.
