Dating violence is a real issue that can happen in any community, no matter how unprobable it might seem. If we can
00:00:09
prevent it, that's our main goal. Breakup violence can definitely happen to anyone, especially teens. So, be
00:00:15
aware of who you're with. A healthy relationship should never include any sort of abuse. Healthy
00:00:24
relationships include love, care, communication, and honesty. trust, loyalty, equality. The two partners are
00:00:33
best friends and they're they enjoy being around each other and they're not afraid to tell each other anything
00:00:38
whether it's good or bad. They have respect for each other and they're constantly um trying to lift each other
00:00:44
up instead of tear each other down. Unhealthy relationships are when the person you're in a relationship with
00:00:54
starts to control your life. always needs to know where you are, what you're doing, who you're with. Some of the
00:00:59
warning signs could be depression, withdrawing from normal activities, and if the relationship seems to be taking
00:01:07
hold of their entire life, something more like psychological or emotional abuse, which kind of looks more like a
00:01:15
fear around their partner, a timidness, constantly bickering, constantly fighting. A partner can even bully their
00:01:21
their partner by simply saying like you're too fat and constantly feeling like you're not good enough. Unhealthy
00:01:29
relationships include feeling threatened by your significant other. You should never be afraid of the person you
00:01:37
love. These days, social media has a great impact on relationships where nothing is ever private. It's really
00:01:43
scary to know that you can't really break up without everybody knowing about it. You can make your relationship as
00:01:50
public as you want it to be just with a click of a button. Automatically it's on
00:01:54
Facebook, Twitter, and it can be some sort of embarrassing story. Something you might not say to your partner um in
00:02:02
person. You might say over the internet or via text message. You don't have to see how they respond if you say
00:02:08
something uh that's mean. You just have to kind of type it. Anyone can access it. It's just hurtful.
00:02:20
A breakup is always a hard time, but there's other factors that people need to worry about like um that both people
00:02:27
um in the relationship are safe. Before you break up with someone, you should have support by either a friend or
00:02:33
family member in case something ever goes wrong. You should always break up with someone in a safe environment and
00:02:38
tell someone that you trust. You should always make sure people will be around and that way someone knows where you are
00:02:46
and what you're doing. I feel like we're making a difference because we don't want any more fathers losing their
00:02:52
little girls to dating violence. It was always my fault. He blamed me for everything. Maybe if you just shut up
00:03:05
and do what I say, we wouldn't be having this fight. Hey sis, why aren't you at practice? Field hockey is your favorite.
00:03:11
I couldn't go to practice today. I had to hang out with my boyfriend. She wouldn't leave him alone. She was
00:03:17
constantly calling and texting me wanting to know where I was every second. Why aren't you wearing that
00:03:23
shirt tonight? I thought it was your favorite. I'm not going to wear that anymore. My boyfriend gets really mad.
00:03:28
Sarah, are you all right? Where did you get those bruises? He hit me. But I know
00:03:32
it's not his fault. I made him mad. I know he's really stressed right now, but I know he still loves me.
