Hello SGVPA Folx,
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month.
A Message From Love Is Respect
"Dating violence is more common than you may think, especially among teens and young adults: 1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before becoming adults. And nearly half (43%) of U.S. college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors."
