Domestic violence charity Women's Aid has launched a campaign to raise awareness among teenagers.
The Expect Respect campaign aims to work with teenagers now to reduce domestic violence in the future.
Real life stories and features about domestic violence among teenagers will be published on the charity's website and in teenage girl's magazine Bliss.
Bliss will also run an online survey to find out how domestic violence affects their readers.
According to figures, one in two boys and one in three girls think there are some circumstances when it is okay to hit a woman or force her to have sex.
Nicola Harwin, chief executive of Women's Aid, said: "Domestic violence is often a very gradual process that forms a pattern of controlling and abusive behaviour and it is vital we educate young people about this and the importance of healthy relationships.
"We hope the Expect Respect campaign will help reduce the amount of domestic violence in the future."
