Abstract
This study examined the overlap in teen dating violence and bullying perpetration and victimization, with regard to acts of physical violence, psychological abuse, and—for the first time ever—digitally perpetrated cyber abuse. A total of 5,647 youth (51% female, 74% White) from 10 schools participated in a cross-sectional anonymous survey. Results indicated

Similarly, Espelage and Holt (2007) examined a sample of 684 middle and high school youth (53% female, 61% White) and found that physical dating violence, emotional abuse, and sexual harassment victimizations were significantly highest among those who both bullied and were victimized by peers and least among those uninvolved in peer bullying/ victimization. This study aims to add further information to this knowledge base by identifying the specific co-occurrence rates of dating violence and bullying with regard to acts of physical and sexual violence, psychological abuse, and—for the first time ever—digitally perpetrated cyber abuse. Technology (e.g., texting via cellphones, social media) has become another tool in the toolbox of potential perpetrators in this modern, digital age.
Our analysis is guided by three, empirically focused research questions.
First, how likely is dating violence for youth who engage in or experience bullying? Second, how strong is the association between teen dating violence and bullying? Third, what are the specific co-occurrence rates of teen dating violence and bullying with regard to victimization, perpetration, and reports of both perpetration and victimization? …show more content…

On completion of the survey, each student was given contact information for local service providers and national hotlines. Downloaded from jiv.sagepub.com at UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO on November 5, 2015

Some believe that victims put in onto themselves since they stay in the relationship or they make their story more dramatic than what really happened. In the book, Teen Dating, Mike Males explained his viewpoint of teen dating violence, “The large majority of teens have never experience(d) the controlling behavior or physical, sexual, verbal, or emotional violence characteristic of dating abuse even once,” Males believes that teen dating violence isn’t a very serious problem because in his opinion, there are a lot of teenagers that do not go through the characteristics of abuse in their relationships (Males 33). Although Males is entitled to his opinion, the large majority of teens he is referring to might still be victims or survivors of teen dating violence and have not spoken about it. There are teens that do not speak about their experience for many different reasons. They could be in denial about their violent relationship or they are afraid to come out about their experience.

Domestic violence is being verbally, emotionally, physically, or sexually abused in an intimate relationship. Males are the dominant spouse; the female is the spouse being used.

Teen Dating Violence occurs in up to one third of adolescent relationships, with psychological abuse being more prevalent than physical violence. For example, Reyes and some of his colleagues in a study found that teenagers who experienced family violence were more likely to experience depression and accept dating violence than teenagers who did not witness family violence (Temple, Choi, Elmquist, Miller, 2016, p.3). Not only teenagers who witness family violence accept this, but they also might develop more aggressively attitudes leading them to engage in violent acts. These teenagers might think violence in a relationship is normal, but it isn’t the
