  3. One in five teens in a serious relationship report having been hit, slapped or pushed by a partner.
  4. One in four girls in a relationship report having been pressured to go further sexually than they really wanted.

Take the time to speak with your teen about violence. If it’s not happening to them it’s happening to someone they know.
