How do we stop youth dating abuse? Easy, start with my voice, opinion and experiences.

Here at Break the Cycle youth have a voice in shaping the conversation about what healthy relationships look like to other girls and guys and adults too. As a member of the National Youth Advisory Board (sponsored by the National Domestic Violence Hotline and Break the Cycle) I am involved with sharing experiences I see, keeping Break The Cycle and the National Domestic Violence Hotline up to date on the latest trends, and passing information on to my friends in ways that they get. I have many jobs as a member of the team.

I am a translator: Kk = Ok with attitude or BAE = Intimate Partner

I am an innovator: of content for the website, content for social media and content for curricula and adult trainings

I am an influencer: for sharing what I hear and convincing my group of friends to follow

Start Talking is a national in school curriculum which trains teachers and student leaders to spread the message just like I do. Join me and my friends in the challenge to educate the leaders of today and tomorrow. With 1:3 teens experiencing some form of dating abuse, you can be a part of building a world free of dating abuse by making a donation to Start Talking today. I want to have start talking in 100 schools across the Nation by September 2015. TeenDVmonth is the perfect month to put this plan into action. Can you help make my dream come true?
