Did you know....
A 2000 Ottawa study of 90 young men 13-17 years of age found that about two-thirds (67%) of the young men reported having abused their girlfriends: about one-third (34%) were emotionally, physically and sexually abusive; almost one-quarter (22%) were emotionally and physically abusive; and one-tenth (10%) were emotionally and sexually abusive. In in-depth interviews with a sub-sample of 30 marginal, abusive young men, all of the young men reported that they had engaged in many collective as well as individual acts of girlfriend abuse.
