Dating violence harms one out of every three teens in the United States. That number is unacceptable but will not change unless youth have the resources they need to create and maintain healthy relationships. Young people need a safe space to ask questions, get expert advice, share stories and learn how to become activists against domestic violence and especially teen against teen violence including dating relationship. This website provides a place for teens and parents to learn more about staying safe. It includes staying safe on line and with cell phones as well as in relationships like dating. Most importantly, there is a place to ask any question about relationships and have a responsible adult with expertise answer it.
