About This Book
Teens experience violence in many forms, including bullying, fighting, hazing, dating violence, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and even homicide. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), teen violence is a leading cause of death for young people and results in more than 475,000 nonfatal injuries each year. Nearly 1 in 5 high-school students are reported being bullied on school property in the year 2018. Each day, about 14 young people are victims of homicide, and about 1,300 are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal-assault-related injuries. The physical and emotional scars resulting from these experiences can endure a lifetime.
Abuse and Violence Information for Teens, Third Edition discusses contributing factors and warning signs for the most commonly experienced types of abuse and violence. Facts about seeking medical care and mental-health services for the physical and emotional consequences are included. A section on prevention and safety suggests ways to protect teens against violence and offers guidelines for staying out of harm’s way. In addition, information about the legal rights of a victim of sexual assault is provided, and the book features a statistical summary of abuse and violence, resource directories, and information on how and where to report child abuse.
