For those of you who don't know, in 2010 in the USA, February was declared the national teen dating violence prevention and awareness month. Unfortunately, millions of teens experience physical and sexual abuse, violence, and harassment at the hands of their romantic partner. In fact, 1 in 3 teens experience physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a partner.
