Washington–area schools are looking to combat the growing problem of abusive relationships among students as young as 11, whose sexual exploits are often hidden from parents’ eyes by personal cell phones and the Internet.
Onecurriculum titled “Love Is Not Abuse” was released Tuesday in conjunction with a survey that seeks to expose the problem, especially among the 11- to 14-year-old “tween” demographic, so called for their precarious status between childhood and teenaged years. The nationwide survey was commissioned by Liz Claiborne Inc. and its National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline.
