Teen dating violence is remarkably common, yet it is rarely discussed. According to national statistics, 1 in 3 girls\u00a0<\/a>in the U.S. will experience some sort of dating violence, according to the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What you can do<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are worried about a friend or family member, here are some tips to guide your conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be supportive<\/strong> \u2013 Let the person first talk about what they like about their relationship. Ask how they met and what they like to do together before you voice your concerns. It shows that you value and respect the relationship, even if the couple is young or the relationship is new. Remember to ask them what they want to do about their relationship, and not assume they want to stay in it, or leave it. Ask how you can help. If they don\u2019t want to talk at that time, let them know you\u2019re available when they are ready.<\/li>\n
  2. Speak about your concerns<\/strong>\u2013 Let them know what you are seeing in their relationship that has you worried. Tell them specifically what you are worried about. \u201cI have noticed you stopped hanging out with your friends since you started going out with\u2026\u201d. Give them time to answer and let them know that abuse in a relationship is not their fault.<\/li>\n
  3. Keep everything confidential<\/strong> \u2013 Assure the person you will not share or gossip about any information they told you. Protecting confidentiality is critical to the teen\u2019s safety and may affect whether they choose to disclose or seek services.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If someone discloses their concerns or tells you about violence in their relationship, knowing what to do can be difficult. Here are some guidelines to help you respond:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Listen first and take it seriously<\/strong> \u2013 Brushing off someone\u2019s disclosure could send the message that what they\u2019re experiencing is not that bad and make them reluctant to reach out in the future.<\/li>\n
    2. Thank them for disclosing<\/strong> \u2013 Only 33% of teens in violent relationships ever told someone about the abuse. Let them know you appreciate them telling you and you want to support them.<\/li>\n
    3. Prioritize their needs<\/strong> – Let them know that they are not responsible for the violence and ask them how they would like you to help.<\/li>\n
    4. Get help when needed<\/strong> \u2013 If you think a person is in immediate danger or has been threatened, don\u2019t be afraid to get emergency help involved. If there isn\u2019t an immediate danger you can always get a trusted adult, counselor or advocate involved to help you. Let them know there are resources available<\/a> and that you can call those resources together. They can always contact either the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-866-723-3014 or the National Teen Dating Violence Hotline by calling 1-866-331-9474 or texting \u201cLOVEIS\u201d to 22522.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
