of dating violence or as children of victims of dating violence exceeded 130 individuals; and

violence—almost three times the national average; and
WHEREAS, youth who experience violence in a dating relationship are at an increased risk of substance abuse,
depression, poor academic performance, teen pregnancy, suicide, eating disorders, and carrying patterns of abuse into
future relationships; and

counselors, and school staff so that they may recognize when youth are exhibiting signs of dating violence, including
extreme jealousy, constant monitoring, and controlling behavior.
