Dating/Domestic violence

How do you guys feel on domestic violence and teaching kids about it? I want to be an activist on it and teach kids about it but do you think people should be more aware about it especially adolescents. Because I think that the younger you know about it,it might help break the cycle. What age should you find out stuff about this? When kids start dating? What do you guys think?

But when should you learn about domestic violence? In school? Should parents teach them? When they are thirteen or sixteen?

This is a great post!
If you instill in children from the very beginning notions of respect, love, deterrence from violent behaviour, and are sure to use positive reinforcements regularly to ensure that they have a healthy self-esteem, that will provide a good base for avoiding acceptance of domestic violent behaviour.
Aggressive behaviours are also often "passed down" from older generations to the upcoming ones, as if they have witnessed or experienced such behaviours in their early lives, they are more likely to repeat or accept the same so it is imperative to provide the children with a healthy environment to grow up in.
As they get older and start dating, hopefully they will have these lessons and positive behaviours already, but as you would give them a safe-sex talk, you can also include this topic at that time, because understanding both topics will ensure that they form and maintain only healthy physical and emotional relationships.
