Teen Dating Violence

Teen violence is a big problem within our society. It can include dating a violent person, name-calling, hitting, slapping, punching and/or fighting among other peers, bullying and even experiencing the violence at home and in media. They are bombarded with violence everyday.

A teenager seeing their mother being abused is more likely to be an abusive teenager and adult. One in five high school girls have been in an abusive relationship with a boy.

There are many factors that influence whether or not young people will be involved in teen violence. Incidents of teenage violence can be reduced by teaching teens good coping skills for their problems. Traits that can help young people cope with problems in non-violent ways include:

Good physical and mental health

Trusting relationships with positive peers and family members

The ability to learn and understand

Self-discipline - the ability to delay gratification

Creativity

Sense of humor

The opportunity to contribute to the world around them

A sense that one’s life has value

Statistics of Tween/Teen Dating Violence
According to the Tween/Teen Dating Relationship Survey in 2008, dating relationship and dating violence is starting by age 11. Early dating with sexual activity appears to fuel extremely high levels of dating violence and abuse during the teen years.

Statistically, three in four tweens (72%) say boyfriend/girlfriend relationships usually begin at age 14 or younger. Also, more then one in three 11-12 year olds (37%) say they have been in a relationship.

Sex is considered by tweens and parents to be a normal part of a relationship for 11-14 year old kids.

More than one in four tweens and parents say sexual activity is part of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

40% of teenage girls, ages 14-17, 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.

If you would like our Children's Coordinator come and speak to your group about Teen Dating Violence, please give us a call. We will schedule a time to meet with you.
