Teen Dating A to Generation Z: A Guide to Going Out, Breaking Up and Everything in Between

Teen Dating A to Generation Z: A Guide to Going Out, Breaking Up and Everything in Between is a series of videos designed to better understand teen dating in a modern world.

Massachusetts Partnerships for Youth, Inc. created this series as a resource for students, educators and school staff. Throughout the series you will hear from teens themselves as dating issues such as controlling behaviors, media influences, sexting, active bystanding, and breaking up are discussed.  

The videos are intended to debunk myths about dating abuse and help teens find the courage to speak up for each other, seek help if they are in an abusive relationship, understand the consequences of sexting, and be confident while navigating the complicated world of dating.

The videos can be shown together or separately to be incorporated into specific lessons or curriculums.

This video series was made possible thanks to a generous contribution from Proskauer Rose LLP.
