Two out of every three teens either will be in or will know someone in an abusive relationship.
In August 2007, 16-year-old Demi Cuccia, a cheerleader at Gateway High
School, was brutally murdered by her boyfriend for trying to end their
relationship. This unthinkable act rocked a community who thought that
something like this could never happen to them.
Were there warning
signs? Absolutely. But they went unrecognized.
Learn to identify the
warning signs of teen dating violence that can help you save the life of
a friend, a loved one, or even you.
