TEAR, which stands for Teens Experiencing Abusive Relationships is an organization fully run by teens. Our main goal is dating violence prevention through education. Since society often overlooks the fact that teens can experience abusive relationships, our mission is to educate society about the complexities and seriousness of violent dating relationships. We carry out this mission through presentations, distributing flyers and other materials, and participating in events such as fairs and charity events.

I want to solve and put a stop to abuse in Teen Dating. Having been in an abusive relationship, I'm determined to start something that can provide support, advice, ideas, and funding to help put a stop to teen dating violence.

Throughout every school and every community, dating violence occurs on a daily basis. Dating violence among teens is an issue that is not addresses or discussed among highschools. This is issue is very prevalent among teens today and should be taken as a very serious crime and issue.
