Being in a dangerous relationship is serious stuff! The first step to keeping yourself safe is to recognize an abusive (or potentially abusive) partner. In a relationship, you have the right to express your own thoughts and ideas freely, set your own limits, and have friends apart from your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you find yourself pulling away from other friends, being controlled and not allowed to be yourself, or if you’ve ever been shoved, hit, or kicked, then you’re experiencing warning signs of an unhealthy relationship.
