Study on the identification and experience of teen dating violence

Abstract

The subject of this investigation focuses on violence in relationships amongst adolescent couples, whose existence is detected in the early stages of the relationship before the
couple lives together. This study is of value because the nature of an adolescent relationship at the beginning sets precedent for what will happen in the future when the couple is settled and
both parties are adults. The goal of this investigation is to find out the types of mistreatment in adolescent relationships that students from two secondary schools aged between 15-16 years
old, identify and acknowledge to live, utilizing a questionnaire. The results show that there is a considerable number of students that do not identify the abuse in adolescent relationships. On the other hand, the result also shows that the experience of dating violence happens with considerable frequency, being more experience the sexual and psychological type.
