T. E. A. R. http://www.teensagainstabuse.org TEAR, which stands for Teens Experiencing Abusive Relationships is an organization fully run by teens. Their goal is dating violence prevention through education. Since society often overlooks the fact that teens can experience abusive relationships, their mission is to educate society about the complexities and seriousness of violent dating relationships. Awareness is the key. They aim to decrease the number of violent dating relationships by educating the teens before the problem occurs. TEAR had a vision that if teen dating abuse is taught early enough, it will stop this ever growing epidemic of violence in society.The site also has links to additional resources on abuse.
