1 in 4 dating teens are abused or harassed online or through texts by their partners.
1 in 3 dating college students has given a partner their computer, email, or social network passwords. These students are more likely to experience digital dating abuse.

Only 4% of youth experience digital abuse and harassment alone. Social media, texts, and e-mails don’t seem to invite new abuse, they provide abusive partners with a new tool.

Victims of digital abuse & harassment are…
2x more likely to be physically abused
2.5x more likely to be psychologically abused
