FOR MORE INFORMATION.
The number of American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. The number of American women who were murdered by current or ex male partners during that time was 11,766. That's nearly double the amount of casualties lost during war.
Women are much more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence with 85 percent of domestic abuse victims being women and 15 percent men. Too many women have been held captive by domestic violence -- whether through physical abuse, financial abuse, emotional abuse or a combination of all three.
How Many Children are Affected?
Prevalence estimates of children who witness domestic violence vary widely. Some commonly cited figures suggest that 3.3 million children and 10 million teenagers are exposed to domestic violence each year (Carlson, 1984; Straus, 1992). Other studies suggest that approximately 20% to 41% of adults recalled observing domestic violence when they were younger (Henning, Leitenberg, Coffey, Turner, & Bennett, 1996; Silvern 1995).
Differences in prevalence rates are a function of several methodological issues including age and geographic location of participants sampled, and retrospective versus prospve nature of the studies examined. Despite the variation in the prevalence estimates, most researchers would agree that a substantial number of children are exposed to violence in their homes.
Correlates of Witnessing Violence
Most of the research in this area sugge that children exposed to domestic violence are at increased risk for emotional, behavior, academic, and social problems (Kolbo, Blakely, & Engelman, 1996; Pfouts et. al., 1982). More specifically, children exposed to domestic violence may exhibimediate and long-term problems with anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, aggression, delinquency, interpersonal relationships, and substance abuse
(Carlson,1990; Jouriles, Murphy, O�Leary, 1989; Silvern, et al., 1995; Sternberg, et al., 1993).
Moreover, children who are exposed to domestic violence may react in ways that fur augment their risk for negative outcomes. For example, some children run away from violent homes, which increases the risk of substance use, prostitution, homelessness, physical illness or injury, and victimization.

Negative Impacts of Teen Childbearing
Teen childbearing is associated with negative consequences for the adolescent parents, their children, and society.
Children born to adolescents face particular challenges—they are more likely to have poorer educational, behavioral, and health outcomes throughout their lives, compared with children born to older parents.
Moreover, teen childbearing costs U.S. taxpayers between $9.4 and $28 billion a year through public assistance payments, lost tax revenue, and greater expenditures for public health care, foster care, and criminal justice services.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
-
About 9.5 million adolescents and young adults (ages 15–24) are diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) each year.[1]
-
An estimated four in 10 sexually active adolescent females between the ages of 14 and 19 have an STD.[2]
Sexually Transmitted Diseases( Cont...)
-
In 2008, males accounted for an estimated 71 percent of all HIV diagnoses among adolescents aged 13–19.[3]
-
STDs are spread through sexual contact, including vaginal sex, anal sex, and oral sex.
-
Adolescents who have multiple sexual partners, have unprotected sex, or take part in other high-risk sexual behaviors are at greater risk of getting an STD.
-
Information from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study showed that among adolescent females who ever had sexual intercourse, the most common STD is human papillomavirus (HPV), followed by chlamydia, trichomoniasis, the virus most commonly associated with genital herpes, and gonorrhea.[4]
-
There are many strains of HPV. Some strains are linked to genital warts and other strains are linked to cervical, anal, and other genital cancers.
-
Vaccines are available to help protect against getting some strains of HPV and viral hepatitis.
-
Many STDs have no signs or symptoms. The only way teens can find out for sure if they have an STD is to get tested by a medical professional. Separate tests are needed to detect most types of STDs.
-
Some STDs can be easily cured with antibiotics when caught early; others have no known cure but are treatable.
-
Left untreated, some STDs can lead to infertility, pregnancy complications, organ damage, and even death.
