The study utilized the quantitative approach and, thereafter, the qualitative one. The population was composed by students of the 2nd grade of senior high school of public and private schools from Porto Alegre. The data were generated by epidemiologic survey applied to 283 adolescents, of four individual interviews and of six focus groups. The quantitative data were analyzed through description of frequencies and cross of variables with the help of the 18.0 version SPSS software. For the qualitative data, one utilized the method of content analysis in the theme mode, with the help of the 9.2 version of the NVivo software. The results show that 86.1% of the participants already were victims and that 86.5% already practiced some type of violence in the affective-sexual relationships, while 84% were at the same type violence victims and perpetrators. Verbal violence was the most prevalent typology with 85.5% being more frequent among girls and students of public school. Menaces were mentioned by 32.7% of the participants without distinction between sexes and schools. Relation violence was referred by 22.4% of these adolescents being more frequent among boys and students of private schools. Physical violence was pointed out by 34.7% of the adolescents. Girls appear more as perpetrators and the boys as victims without significant difference between the school networks. Sexual violence among dating adolescents was identified by 53.3% of the participants without distinction between the school networks. Between the sexes, there was no difference as to the victim condition but boys appeared as the most frequent perpetrators. It has been observed the frequent occurrence of superposition of psychological, physical and sexual violence. It has also been found out that adolescents that suffer or practice violence in the affective and sexual relationships are more inclined to present suicide ideas mainly among girls and students of the public schools. One observed the presence of cultural rules of gender that influence and legitimate some forms of violence among adolescents. Only 5% of them said that they had already asked for help due to problems derived from violence in the affective and sexual relationships. Firstly, they look for friends (51.5%) and, secondly, for family members (36.7%). Health professionals were searched for by 12.1% of them. The results were similar to those found in the national study where Porto Alegre stood out regarding the physical violence suffered and to the legitimacy of this kind of aggression, especially among boys. It has been pointed out the need of stressing the implications of the health care system within these events, by considering the responsibility and commitment ascribed to the health professionals regarding the violence prevention and the promotion of the adolescents´ health.
