      Survey Reveals Abuse In Teen, Tween Dating

      Tween and teen dating is far from a bunch of innocent hand-holding: A survey finds 69% of teens who have had sex by 14 have suffered physical or emotional abuse in relationships, with only half of tweens knowing how to recognize a hurtful relationship. CBS reports more stats: The survey found 37% of 11- and 12-year-olds have been in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. 9% of that same group has a friend who has had sex; 40% have friends who have been verbally abused in a relationship.

Researchers at Northwestern University followed 70 romantically-entwined freshmen over 9 months, regularly asking them to update a survey analyzing their current feelings and how they imagined a break-up would feel. The pain of eventual splits was milder than they had foreseen, and they beat the blues twice as soon as predicted, LiveScience reports. More »

      Patch Aims to Trigger Sex With Smell
