Abstract
Objective: Verify through a review the existence of violence in dating relationships experienced by young people. Methods: This is a systematic review with a quantitative approach. The period of search and selection of articles was between November and December 2019. Queries were made in the databases: MEDLINE, LILACS and SCIELO, using the descriptors “Teenagers”, “Violence” and “Sexuality” registered in Health Sciences (DeCS). The selection followed the inclusion / exclusion criteria of the articles available completely and free of charge, between the years 2013 to 2017, in Portuguese. Results: 24,408 articles were found, of which, 6 after reading the sumarry and introcion, 6 were selected beacause they met the criteria establiched in the study. The results showed that male people are the most victimized when it comes to violence in dating relationships. It also showed that young men also appear as victims of this violence; and that psychological violence overcomes cases of physical violence. Final Considerations: Violence during dating among teenagers is a problem that has not been dealt with and publicized in our country. Given this situation, education actions to combat dating violence should be adopted as a way of preventing this problem.
