Back to back is not a good prospect for long-term team building. Togetherness promises a good quality of life.
Questions About Violence In Relationships
Questions to ask a potential victim:
Do you suffer from violence? How does that show?
Do you feel afraid of possible outbursts of anger from your partner?
Are you sometimes afraid of disagreeing with his/her opinion?
Do you tend to excuse your partner's bad behavior?
Do you have to account for everything? (e.g. where you are going or what you are doing)
Does it happen that your partner puts you down in front of others and then says he/she loves you?
Have you ever been hit, kicked, pushed, or thrown with objects?
Is your contact with family and friends limited because otherwise your partner would be jealous?
Have you ever been forced into sexual activity against your will?
Are you worried and afraid of saying something wrong?
IF ONE OR MORE OF THESE QUESTIONS APPLY TO YOU, THEN YOU WILL BE ABUSED!
good news: you can do something about it!!
YOU CAN :
end the relationship and stop seeing your partner.
get help, preferably from experienced adults.
go to the counseling center at your school.
call your nearest counseling center.
There are some trained people who can help you in your situation.
Sometimes there is a fitting opportunity to support one another. With a question like “May I help?” can it work. The YOU in the question should be avoided as much as possible.
Consider Your Rights
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT :
express your opinion and get credit for it.
that your needs are taken as seriously as those of your partner.
develop yourself in your own way.
in any case to change your own mind.
Not being responsible for your partner's behavior.
not to be abused physically, sexually or emotionally.
leaving someone you're afraid of.
to be happy and healthy.
How about a family photo again? Every year again. These photos will become more important as we get older.
Talk to your parents or other adult family members. It can also be a teacher or counselor at school or other help. A conversation usually helps and can be obtained at any time, anonymously and free of charge.
