Information provided by Mescalero Violence Against Women
The month of February is nationally recognized as Teen Dating Awareness Month.
Dating/domestic violence occurs when one person uses physical, psychological, emotional, sexual or financial abuse to achieve power and control over another person.
Results of a recent national survey indicate that approximately 12 percent of high school students have experienced physical dating violence.
Research into the dynamics of dating violence has exposed the difference between teen dating violence and adult abusive relationships.
Most importantly, findings have suggested that non-sexual violence in dating relationships is equally perpetrated by both males and females.
However, research also shows that females suffer more negative consequences of violence directed at them, especially in terms of physical harm.
Risk factors for both inflicting and sustaining dating violence that have been identified in the research literature are discussed and include prior exposure to violence, attitudes that violence is acceptable, peer influence, and the presence of other problem behaviors such as drug use and engagement in risky sexual behaviors.
A healthy relationship means that both you and your partner demonstrate:
Treating one another as an equal and whole human being. Valuing each other’s thoughts, feelings and opinions.
Talk openly about problems and listen in a non-judgmental way. Affirm and understand each other’s thoughts, feelings and opinions.
Believing what one another says. Supporting each other’s choice of friends, activities, goals and opinions.
