Whereas this negotiation and its impact on the movement of

Whereas over 12 percent of the Nation’s gross domestic prod-

Whereas the impacted operations of all West Coast transport

Whereas, according to data from the YRBSS, almost 20 per-
cent of teen girls who were exposed to physical dating vi-

on the way to or from school; 
Whereas schools are unequipped to handle the issue, as a re-

a school protocol on how to respond to an incident of 
teen dating violence but 61 percent reported that they

Whereas a study published in Pediatrics suggests that teen
