Dating Violence
by Teresia Smith
While most dating relationships established during the teenage years don’t last forever, they can often be looked back on with fond memories.

Every February recognizes Teen Dating Violence Awareness! 1 in 3 teens report abuse in dating relationships. This just represents those who are willing and able to report. Most teens choose to tell a friend instead of a parent, teacher, or counselor. This is why we stress the importance of bystander intervention. If you see or hear something potentially dangerous, please report it to a trusted adult.

Red Flags and Potential for Abuse
by Christina Hays
Red flags can be a very good indicator that a relationship has the potential to become abusive and even violent. Unfortunately, red flags are not always as obvious as we would like them to be.
