Many teens are victims of digital dating abuse; boys get the brunt of it

(Florida Atlantic University) It's almost Valentine's Day, but there is nothing romantic about new research illuminating how teen dating abuse is manifesting online. A study of US middle and high school students showed that 28.1% had been the victim of at least one form of digital dating abuse. More than one-third had been the victim of traditional dating abuse (offline). Boys experienced all forms of digital dating abuse more than girls and were even more likely to experience physical aggression.
