February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month! Teen DV Month (sometimes called TDVAM) is a national effort to raise awareness about abuse in teen and 20-something relationships and promote programs that prevent it.

The theme for 2018 is: “Hands Unite: Do your Part.”

Loveisrespect wants to empower young people to build healthy relationships from the ground up. Your hands are a tool for creation, and they play a role in ending dating abuse. Your hands are made for loving and helping—not hurting the ones you love.

We invite you to heal, love and share the power your hands have to create meaningful relationships, raise awareness and educate others. Remember, everyone has a hand in ending dating violence!

We hope you’ll join the conversation! Learn more here!

What should I look for in a partner? provided by @loveisrespectofficial Nice eyes? A great smile? A quirky sense of humor? There are a lot of different things that might make you attracted to someone. But having a healthy relationship with your partner is about more than attraction; it requires respect, trust and open communication. Whether you’re looking for a relationship or are already in one, make sure you and your partner agree on what makes a relationship healthy. It’s not always easy, but everyone deserves a healthy relationship! Look for someone who: Treats you with respect. Doesn’t make fun of things you like or want to do. Never puts you down. Doesn’t get angry if you spend time with your friends or family. Listens to your ideas and is able to compromise with you. Isn’t excessively negative. Shares some of your interests and supports you in pursuing what you love. Isn’t afraid to share their thoughts and feelings. Is comfortable around your friends and family. Is proud of your accomplishments and successes. Respects your boundaries and does not abuse technology. Doesn’t require you to “check in” or need to know where you are all the time. Is caring and honest. Doesn’t pressure you to do things that you don’t want to do. Doesn’t constantly accuse you of cheating or being unfaithful. Encourages you to do well in school or at work. Doesn’t threaten you or make you feel scared. Understands the importance of healthy relationships. Remember, that a relationship consists of two (or more!) people. You and your partner should have equal say and should never be afraid to express how you feel. It’s not just about speaking up for yourself — you should also listen to and seriously consider what your partner says. Every relationship has arguments and disagreements sometimes — this is normal. How you choose to deal with your disagreements is what really counts. Both people should work to communicate effectively. #youarenotalone #knowledgeispower #healthyrelationship #loveisrespect #partner #stopvictimblaming #freedom #love #hope #fearless #myequal #freedom4ewa #helpisontheway #domesticviolence #survivor https://www.instagram.com/p/B9brsLTAWNH/?igshid=1xssq0vn6sn29

The Shrinking Violet... ~ j. a. savage

There's darkness from within you. 

Empty is the soul, as the ghost from the past creep into our world.

We thought we had it all, until it all fell apart. 

Broken dreams.

Broken hearts.

Imprisoned by our own afflictions.

Thirsting for your gentle attention, yet starving for my own liberation.

I couldn't find a place to stand.

For the ground crumbled beneath us years before, yet here we meet again.

And still, I fell... 

I fell for your lies.

I fell for your empty promises.

I fell for your eyes, your kisses,  and your velvet words.

I fell for your masquerade, though so beautifully designed.

You brought it all back.

You awoken them.

Those demons I've been running from, now revived.

And you could see their shadows can be seen within my eyes. 

You could watch them dance when you noticed my timid posture.

You could direct them by my obedient nature.

You could rule over them for my conquered spirit.

“Everybody deserves a safe and healthy relationship. You may think same-sex couples cannot be in abusive relationships because they are the same gender. That’s not true. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth experience dating abuse at the same rates and in similar ways as heterosexual couples do. In fact, one in three young people -- straight, gay and everyone in between -- experience some form of dating abuse.”

There are a lot of good guys out there, but with #valentinesday2020 coming up, I want to remind you that being alone and happy is better than losing yourself and your self respect to someone who isn't treating you well. YES, I KNOW, women can be totally awful in relationships too, but, women are conditioned from childhood to be wrong, to be workers AND homemakers, and to not expect anything from a partner except disrepect and abuse, so they are statistically more likely to see bad relationships as "the way life works." In case you need reminding: you have value all by yourself. A relationship should compliment your life/goals (not complete you, because you're not half a person by yourself). And never forget that it's okay to be alone. If the glorified sense of being in a relationship isn't in the cards for you right now, that's okay! You can still go off and be awesome whether you're single or coupled up! So, if you are heading into a date this weekend, be kind to each other. If that's not happening then end that relationship! And if you're alone, be kind to yourself. You deserve the best! Don't put up with verbal, psychological, or physical abuse for the sake of "love" or being manipulated into feeling bad. You are strong. You are enough. You got this. 💕 #galentinesday #iloveyou #choosekind #loveisrespect #raisethebar #yesimmarried #valentinesday #datenight https://www.instagram.com/p/B8gxtYjHYYP/?igshid=1vfpl7773uc3n

The last few days I've struggled with my spiritual walk! The holidays were fabulous yet I felt kind disconnected from my life's passion! Today I went to the memorial of Shelly Gelbaum, a woman ahead of her time in a small town where other like minded spirits walked freely proud of their often unorthodox beliefs! In the 80's three woman heard my voice! The voice of wild women who laughed, loved, and lived passionately! Carol Mirkin, Wendy Goldberg, and Shelly! You've given me space to breathe and revived me once again when my mind got separated from my soul! I love you! #loveyourself #loveisrespect #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #women #rebels_united #rebel #individuality #girlpower #girl friends #besties #forever #gratitude #gratefulheart #grateful #grateful🙏 #gratefullness #friendship #ladies #forever #joy (at Congregation Rodef Sholom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tolnwh6AE/?igshid=4efgdmmnrpzn
