The Problem

The problem of teens accepting violence, intimindation and/or aggression in relationships. Teens must understand that what happens to us now can have a negative impact on how we view current and future relationships.

Why It's Important

I have had several friends who have been involved in relationships that have turned violent. I have been an encourager and one who would point them in the right direction.

The Plan Of Action

Currently, the organization (Top Teens of America) that I am a member of (over 3,700 members)will take on the issue of teen dating. We all have come into teens at one point who have been in situations like this. Our reach is throughout the United States and we need to help advance this cause which is not often talked about. We do not possess the money to do some of the posters/information packets and any financial support would help make the program even more visible. We could make this one of our major projects this year and throughout the next year. We have donated so much to so many organizations and have a passion for taking care of the communities where we live.

How Can Others Get Involved?

All Top Teens of America could participate on December the 3rd in their communities! We could make it a hugh event! I am excited about the possibilities!!
