Dating

It's awesome to be in love.  When you find that special person you just want to spend every minute of the day with them.  But, then you notice they are spending every minute with you.  You are never allowed to spend time with your friends or your family. This special person tells you, "Oh baby, I love you.  We don't need anything or anyone, just our love."  Sounds real flattering, but this is dangerous behavior. When someone does this to you, they are trying to control you, and that is when it becomes abusive.  Abuse in relationships does not heal itself.  It will only go farther and faster.  If you feel something is scary or wrong in your relationship, there is help.  For further help click on the link below to check out some resources that can help you deal with Dating Violence.

There’s this kid - or kids –who just won’t leave you alone.  They are always in your face.  They make fun of you in the cafeteria.  They trip you in the halls just to make
everyone else laugh.  They tease and taunt you as you walk home from school.  You put up with it because you don’t know what else to do.  You can make it stop.  There
 is someone who can help.  Talk to an adult – someone you trust – someone who will be cool about helping you out.  If you don’t have an adult that you trust here is a resource that can help.
