<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you be surprised if your teen daughter was involved in an incident of dating violence, and she didn\u2019t tell you about it?\u00a0 I would have been, and I suspect you would be too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, according to this article by Kate Rogers on Thompson\nReuters Foundation News, a majority of teens fail to tell their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study in 2017 by the National Institute of Justice, a U.S. government research agency,<\/g> found more than two thirds<\/g> of teens said they had been in a violent intimate relationship in the previous year.<\/p>

“There’s something so taboo about the topic,” said Bersheva Delgado, a community liaison at The Healing Center, a New York non-profit group that works with abuse survivors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The unfortunate reality is that teen girls are too embarrassed to discuss it with their parents, and schools are seemingly reluctant to discuss violent relationships in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This research comes from studying 2,000 U.S. homicides, where more than 25% of girls died at the hands of their intimate partner. Two-thirds were killed by guns.\u00a0 The majority were 17 or 18 years old and were dating someone four years their senior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When they are experiencing things they recognize as unhealthy, they’re not likely to disclose to adults in their lives,” said lead author Avanti Adhia, a senior fellow at the University of Washington\u2019s medical school.<\/p>

“By the time kids get to college, it’s too late to start teaching about this,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
