Teen dating violence is a type of intimate partner violence. It occurs between two people in a close relationship. It can include four types of behavior: physical violence, sexual violence, psychological aggression, and/or stalking. Teen dating violence can take place in person or electronically, such as repeated texting/messaging with an app or posting sexual pictures of a partner online without consent. Unhealthy relationships can start early and last a lifetime. Teens often misunderstand behaviors, like teasing and name-calling, as a “normal” part of a relationship—but these behaviors can become abusive and develop into serious forms of violence.
