Stalking
Statistics show victims of teen dating violence are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety, or engage in unhealthy behaviors, like using tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. Others might also exhibit harmful behaviors, like lying, stealing, bullying, hitting, or thoughts of suicide.
Teen dating violence is an issue that impacts not only teens, but their parents, teachers, friends and communities as well. The Greensboro Police Department is working to put a stop to teen dating violence by raising awareness and providing the public with educational tools and programs. If you’re a parent, police suggest teaching your teen about self-respect, but also giving them a chance to talk without interruption.
