He added that it’s more than just physical abuse. Teen dating violence can be emotional and mental abuse as well.

The students created shirts and bands for their “Stop the Silence” program. Ryan Shorter said that they even designed shirts to raise awareness.

The boys are donating the funds from the shirts to Open Arms Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Services.

They will hold the presentation again in April for the Skills USA State competition.
