Teen Dating Violence seems to be very common nowadays. I chose this topic because I wanted to find out more about the result of being involved in a situation where you are being abused by your intimate partner at a young age. Another reason why I was lead to this topic was because I myself was involved in this kind of relationship. It was definitely very unhealthy and stressful even if punches or hits wasn't being thrown, just being in an environment where you're verbally hurt can do a lot of damage.Till today i still think about the relationship that i had and reflect on what i have now, and i try to not get myself in that situation again. I may have been a victim but i was also the abuser, i was also the one that was putting my boyfriend at the time down and saying hurtful things. The actions was back and forth between us.
I wanted to do this topic to share the experience that I had and also to shine lights to a subject where not a lot of thoughts are put into. 1 out of 4 teens are involved in an abusive relationship at least once in their dating experience (stader). that's a quarter of our youth population; meanwhile there aren't many therapy and help that these teens can seek. through this research I'm hoping to gain more knowledge on the subject and discover the statistic from surveys that have been conducted, so that i can share with everyone how serious this issue is.I think everyone should be able to relate to this topic, it's very common. in our lifetime we know at least one person who are suffering from the result of violence from their intimate partner, and knowing the affects of these relationship will better you to help those people that are affected by it.
