By Travis Thayer (Aurora, Ind.) - Students at South Dearborn High School are using the power of social media to help a local organization promote Teen Dating Violence Awareness. Members of South Dearborn High School Student Government - Safe Passage Committee recently created a public service announcement (PSA) to display a form of dating violence that raises awareness for Teen Dating Violence Awareness month. Dating violence is defined as controlling, abusive and aggressive behavior in a romantic relationship. It can include verbal, emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Students who participated in producing the video include: Alyssa Baker, Dylan Beach, Ashlee Fortner, A.J. Fox, Haley Greive, Emma Hobbs, Ashton Hoog, Taylor Ingle, Kerra Manor, Leslie Mathes, Oliver Moisio, Holly Roberts, Tori Thomas and Drew Weissmann.
