Dating Abuse

1 in 3 teens is abused in a relationship. And most partners stay in the relationship in spite of it.

Maybe Rihanna speaking out, telling people not to go back to their abusers, will help stop the violence. She could be the role model that ends an epidemic.

So send your note to thankyourihanna@dosomething.org by noon EST Monday and we'll send you a free download of one of her latest singles.

And keep standing to dating abuse! Check out our New Campaign and join thousands of teens nationwide taking action
