Teens who experience dating violence may suffer from de-
pression and anxiety. These teens may begin to engage in unhealthy behav-
iors such as; tobacco, drug, or alcohol use.
Survivors of this type of abuse may become involved in anti-social behaviors
such as isolating themselves from friends and family. They may also have
thoughts of suicide or engage in self-harm practices.
