TEEN DATING VIOLENCE

Most teens begin dating between 9 and 12 years of age and are vulnerable to experiencing violence beginning with their first relationships.

Among those who experience dating violence, 29% first experience dating violence at age 12-13, 40% at age 14-15, and 29% at age 16-17.

Teen dating violence can be prevented through implementing prevention programs in middle school and early high school years when young people begin to date and experience dating violence. Parents and educators need to provide opportunities for youth to develop strong, positive relationships.
