Violence in intimate relationships among adolescents is also common, resulting in both immediate and potential long-term consequences for their physical, mental and social health. In addition to its immediate health consequences, the trauma of violence perpetrated by an intimate partner can lead to long-term physical injuries, to both immediate and delayed-onset health problems and to experiences of repeated revictimization.
