About This Lesson
Teens from cities, small towns and suburbs nationwide – regardless of background – have spoken out during In the Mix discussion sessions and the results are astonishingly consistent: more than 90 percent have asked In the Mix for programming on dating violence. Dating violence profoundly affects their lives and their friends, yet they feel isolated and powerless, with nowhere to go for information and help. An unspoken problem and secret, dating violence is largely ignored, yet its significance reverberates far beyond the dating scene. CCSS: SL.7.1, SL.8.1, SL.9-10.1, SL.11-12.1
