Dating Abuse Quiz

1)I scored a 10 out 10.
I learned that 1 of 3 teens in America are in abusive relationships.
I agreed with most things such as abuse is a series of behaviors if it happens once it is liking to happen age.I also agreed with the fact that a bad home or bad childhood doesn't justify the actions of an abuser in a relationship.
There wasn't anything on the quiz that I disagreed with.
2)A healthy relationship consists of Trust,Respect,Honesty,Good communication and individuality.An unhealthy relationship is the complete opposite there's no trust,no honest nor communication.In an unhealthy relationship there is no individuality a partner is always trying to please the other by all means even if they have to change their beliefs or what it is they do as a person.An example of an unhealthy relationship was in "why girls have sex?".One of the stories mentioned a girl who was with her boyfriend for a little over a month he wanted to have sex but she felt she wasn't ready and instead agree to pleasuring him through oral sex,despite the fact that she didn't like it.I feel that was an unhealthy relationship because there was no form of good communication,respect or honesty.
3)1 out of 11 teens reports being a victim of dating abuse every year.
Nearly 80% of girls who have been physically abused in their dating relationships continue to date their abuser.
The overall occurrence of dating violence is higher among blacks(13.9%) than Hispanic(9.3%) or white (7.0%) students.
4)Between 1993 and 1999,22% of all homicides against females ages 16-19 were committed by an intimate partner.
A comparison of Intimate Partner Violence rates between teens and adults reveal s that teens are at higher risk of intimate partner abuse.
58% of rape victims report being raped between the ages of 12-24
Half of the reported date rapes occur among teenagers.
81% of parents surveyed either they believe teen dating violence is not an issue or admit they don't know if it's an issue.
