DEAR GIRLS, YOU DESERVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP!

DEAR GIRLS,

Love is kindness, love is fun, and love is necessary. Love is also safe, respectful and healthy. If your relationship is not safe, respectful or healthy your love for the other person is not reason enough to stay in a relationship. Do not be fooled by charm or cuteness. Everyone deserves love. Set clear boundaries of respect and have the healthy relationship you deserve.

Although no two relationships are alike, all healthy relationships must have respect, kindness and laughter. Staying in a relationship that decreases your self worth will ultimately destroy you. Do not hide in shame or silence. Get professional help because you deserve a healthy relationship.

Love,

Miss Meaka

You deserve a healthy relationship!

TEEN DATING VIOLENCE may not be something that everybody talks about, but that doesn’t mean that it’s uncommon.

Healthy relationships allow both partners to feel independent and supported, as well as connected to one another. In addition to love there are four key components of a healthy relationship. Respect, communication, kindness and boundaries. Ultimately, the two people in the relationship decide what’s healthy for their relationship and what is not. Remember you have freedom to discuss your relationship with your partner, even if something does not feel quite right or if something makes you uncomfortable. Do not be silent. Set clear boundaries and expectations of the healthy relationship you deserve.

An unhealthy relationship will often leave you feeling nervous, uncomfortable, said, afraid, guilty and bad about yourself. If the person you are in a relationship with harms you or forces you to things you do not want to do that is a clear indication of an unhealthy relationship. Take immediate steps to get professional help to support ending the relationship safely.

Staying in a relationship that decreases your self worth will ultimately destroy you. There is nothing to feel embarrassed and guilty about so do not be silent get help. You deserve more.
