Contrary to popular belief, dating violence isn't confined to a specific socioeconomic class or age group. Studies indicate a disturbingly high prevalence on college campuses. A survey by Break the Cycle [2] found that nearly one in three (28%) female students and one in five (19%) male students have experienced physical, verbal, or sexual violence from a dating partner. This translates to a significant number of students navigating unhealthy and potentially dangerous relationships.Dating violence can manifest in various forms, including physical aggression (hitting, shoving), emotional abuse (name-calling, threats), verbal intimidation (controlling what someone wears), and social isolation (preventing someone from seeing friends). Unfortunately, many students may not recognize these behaviors as abuse, attributing them to "normal" relationship dynamics.
