Would You Listen to Your Parents About Dating?

There's no doubt that teen dating violence affects every school in every town. A third of teens say they know someone who's been in an abusive relationship, and a quarter of teen girls say they've been pressured into sexual activity.

Verizon Wireless is trying to do something about it with a program called Letter to My Child. They're asking parents to "write letters to their teens encouraging them to seek healthy relationships and defining unhealthy behaviors."

Just curious: would you ever turn to your parents for advice about an abusive relationship? And if they wrote you a letter like that, do you think it would change anything?
