Share this with your friends who are reading The Hunger Games or take this SCORE CARD to the movies and see if the TAC got it right! The card comes 4 to a page, print it front and back.

- 1 in 5 teens who have been in a serious relationship report being hit, slapped or pushed by a partner.
- 1 in 3 girls who have been in a serious relationship say they've been concerned about being physically hurt by their partner.
- In a study of gay, lesbian, and bisexual teens, youths in same-sex relationships are just as likely to experience dating violence as youths involved in opposite sex dating.
