1. Don't laugh at jokes about someone's bf/gf - Even if it's told by a friend, it still reinforces the abuse. Not going along with the joke sends out a sign that shows putting down a partner is just not okay.

2. Be there for your friends - Let them know you are available, especially when they have problems.

3. Pay attention to your friends' relationships - Making sure your friends are safe is not being nosy.

4. Know your resources - Identify a trusted adult u can turn to if anyone you know is in trouble.

5. Don't put up with abusive behavior/harassment Send a message by walking away or tell your friend to stop it. Others around u probably feel the same.

Be proud of your opinions & speaking up among friends is a great step towards creating a society in which relationship violence is not tolerated. It may not be easy when you feel like you are the only person voicing concern, but u should still try.

An individual voice becomes even stronger when joined by others. Find out if there is a group in your school that focuses on teen dating violence, or if there is interest in starting one. But be sure to first find out your school's policy on how to do it. Afterwards, follow these steps for success.

Step 1: Identify the problem
