Teens Look On: Celebrities and Domestic Abuse
Dating violence is shockingly common among teenagers. According to the Family Violence and Prevention Fund: One in five female high school students reports being physically and or sexually abused by a date, and 8 percent of high-school-age girls say that they have been forced by a boyfriend to have sex against their will. Forty percent of teen girls (age 14 though 17) say they know someone their age who has been hit by a boyfriend. -NY Times
