Article here. Nice to see rates of violence against males is also being reported. Excerpt:
'In 2009 nearly 11 percent of female high school students reported being hit, slapped or physically hurt by their date, again higher than the U.S. average. In addition, 12 percent of high school males reported being victimized by the person they were dating.
According to a Cornell University study, young women who endured dating violence in their teen years are more likely to suffer depression, have suicidal thoughts and engage in binge drinking. Young men also are more likely to be suicidal, abuse drugs and engage in delinquent behaviors if they suffered teen dating violence.'
