There is a lot of pressure in high school to be ‘with’ someone and to be in love. This pressure makes it very hard to break up even when there is physical, emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse. It may be hard to recognize that a relationship is abusive and some may settle for situations that could be harmful or even deadly.
The Teen Equality Wheel includes:
▪ Communication
▪ Respect
▪ Trust
▪ Non-Threatening Behavior
▪ Independence
▪ Honesty & Accountability
▪ Shared Responsibility
▪ Negotiation and Fairness
These are traits of a healthy and safe relationship. |
Remember, in teenage relationships, both males and females have the right to “refuse physical closeness” and to say “I love you” without having sex.
