Action Tips: Use Texting to Fight Dating Abuse
- Don’t pass on a mean message or embarrassing picture of a classmate.
- Save an anti-gossip pledge to your phone. When you receive a mean message, send that person back the pledge saying that you won’t spread negative words or images.
- If someone is harassing you by text, save them and show someone who can help.
- Educate your peers on dating violence by making a short video, public service announcement or meaningful image, and share it via text!
- Know someone overcoming dating abuse? Send texts of support and encouragement.
- Think your friend may be in an abusive relationship? Send her a text with some warning signs and a hotline number. Remember, the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline is: 1-866-331-9474.
- Message your friends and family with some facts and prevention ideas.
- Teach your parents how to text. You’ll feel safer if you are connected in times where it might be too loud or embarrassing to talk on the phone to them.
- Text your friends some tips on how to start off and keep their relationships healthy.
- Mass texting is a great way to spread the word for an anti-dating violence rally, fundraiser, or awareness mixer that you are hosting.
- You’re not always at a computer. Keep your dating-violence information up to date on your Facebook or Twitter account.

Once i got a text message from a number i didn't know. They sent me a pic of a naked girl, and I saved the pic and showed it to a local police officer and they were caugth with in 3hrs. That person had sent a mass forward to hundreds of people. I was afriad of getting in troublefor having that pic on my phone because it is illegal. I was so relived to have them caught.
I was being harrassed via text with really crude violent things
I called the cops and the person got into alot of trouble the cop even witnessed the texts coming in himself
Yet I have to experience this crap but I am sure I will. What is so said is that this stuff happens every single day. I think that it is soo sad that people get beat up mentally and physically from their partner. I just want to help kids that are going through this and need the help. To me helping out is a blessing that I get to do every chance I get :)
