While some people may believe that dating violence will not affect them, it's important to

know it can happen to anyone. People between the ages of 15 to 24 experience the highest rate of

dating violence, Colin Adamo, young mens initiative coordinator at Advocate for Youth has

reported. Victims are physically and/or psychologically abused as well as stalked by their partner

and have even been forced to have non-consensual sex. Citizens should teach youth about dating

violence to prevent future abuse and how they can get help for themselves or someone else so

nobody is in danger of being in an abusive relationship. This paper will cover dating violence,

its effect on the victim, and solutions that communities can introduce to try to educate teens to

prevent abuse.
