Recognizes four types of teen dating violence identified by the CDC: physical violence, sexual violence, psychological aggression, and stalking

Cites statistics including that 28.1% of teens in relationships experienced digital dating abuse, 1 in 9 female and 1 in 36 male high school students reported sexual dating violence, and 44.3% of teens experienced at least one type of violence

Notes that technology-facilitated abuse (cyber extortion, cyberstalking, doxing) is a growing contributor to psychological aggression among teens
