Actually we have studies that show that 33% of teenagers know someone or they themselves have been in a dating violence relationship. Since a lot of those teens are living with their parents and their parents are monitoring their actions or we would hope they are, hey have someone to reach out to and really talk to about their dating relationship. but we do see that teens are experiencing violence in dating relationships and it's really important for them to know what healthy relationships look like, because they are just starting the date. They are just starting to find their partners and their mates and they are just starting their cycle of dating. So it's really crucial to reach out the teens when they are first starting this process to let them know that domestic violence should never be tolerated and it's not a part of a healthy relationship.
