Teenage Dating Violence Laws

⚡ 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 INFORMATION AVAILABLE CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

Teen dating violence (TDV) occurs between two people in a close relationship and includes four types of behavior: physical violence, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression. TDV can take place in person or electronically, and it affects millions of U.S. teens each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly one in nine female teens and one in 13 male teens report experiencing physical dating violence in the last 12 months. Additionally, approximately one in seven female teens and one in nine male teens report experiencing sexual dating violence in the last 12 months.
Unhealthy relationships during adolescence can disrupt emotional development and contribute to other long-term negative effects. According to the CDC, teens who experience dating violence are more likely to exhibit antisocial behaviors, engage in unhealthy behaviors such as tobacco, drug and alcohol use, experience depression and anxiety, and consider suicide. These symptoms can continue into adulthood. Moreover, a long-term consequence of unhealthy relationships in adolescence is the increased risk of problems in future relationships. For example, individuals who experience TDV in high school are more likely to be revictimized in college.
Prevention initiatives include early education about safe dating practices. Efforts that provide education and information about healthy relationships often include components that address problem-solving skills and avoidance of risky behaviors. Dating Matters, a CDC initiative, raises awareness about teen dating violence and includes preventive strategies for individuals, peers, families, schools and neighborhoods.
Policymakers can play a role in preventing teen dating violence. At least 23 states have laws that allow, urge or require school boards to develop or include curriculum on teen dating violence. States have also adopted teen dating violence awareness weeks or months to bring attention to prevention and safe dating practices.
