Unfortunately it is much more common for women to be abused in a dating relationship then males. Sadly, it is also very common for men not to report abuse because of stereotypes of men having to be really tough and strong, and therefore not abused. Compared to teenage boys, girls sustain three times as much mild injury, twice as much moderate injury and virtually all-severe injury caused by dating violence. The average age for the first physically violent dating experience is 15.
