According to McLeod (2015), research shows that peer-facilitation is effective in teaching about healthy relationships to prevent teen dating violence. Reviving Ophelia shows an extreme situation where a program like the one studied could’ve been helpful. If peers or even school faculty administered a program to educate students on what a healthy relationship is and how to deal with one if it isn’t, maybe Elizabeth could have sought help sooner. Additionally, even teens not in the abusive teenager could be more proactive about the situation. For example, after Mark hits Elizabeth at school in his car, all of their peers find out about what happen. Many of their peers begin to talk behind Elizabeth's back while she is away from school for a couple days to recover. Upon her return, the students stare at her, they whisper, and they even eventually post a picture of her bloody face on the internet with the caption “Where art thou Romeo?”.

This article talks about how the media takes a big part of the cause of teen dating violence. Whether the media be social, television, or video games, people are exposed to violence at a young age. The article mentions how many of the teens get unrealistic ideas from the media that make them believe that all relationships and with the “perfect” ending, so when the teens become a victim of the violence, they are convinced that there is still hope for a better ending. Because of the belief that things will get better, many of the victims decide to stay in the unhealthy relationship because of the hope they get from the media.

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).

You may now see how serious this issue is, but the truth is that apart from all the data and statistics shown, there are more cases of abusive relationships than you know. “Love is Respect Org” stated in an article that Only 33% of teens who were in a violent relationship ever told anyone about the abuse.
