involve verbal abuse?
That females between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rate of dating
violence…
almost TRIPLE the national average?

That dating violence hurts.
That sometimes it hurts so bad,it will make you cry or scream.
That sometimes sons, daughters, brothers, sisters,
grandchildren and friends have to die
before dating violence is taken
seriously.
That sitting on your “hands” won’t make the violence disappear.
That talking to anyone about what you know
or what you suspect
is a great first step.
That spreading the word through email is a good second step.
That sending warning texts to those who care
is a great third step.
That getting family involvedis a great fourth step.
That these steps will never end for you until
the violence ends for them.
That saving someone from dating violence is your business.
Save them now.
Save them today.
