Help Stop Dating Abuse

Everyone deserves respect. You gotta give it to get it.

That's why I treat my girl the way I expect her to treat me - as an equal.

My friend won't let his girl chill with her guy friends. I told him:

Love is respect. Everyone can choose who they want to hang out with.

I respect my girlfriend, so I choose not to be tight on her.

Everyone has a right to their own life and privacy.

Last night I heard my friend talking trash to his girl. I told him:

That's not cool. You should treat your girl with respect. Words can be abusive, even if you're not putting your hands on each other.

My friend said he put his girl in her place by threatening to ruin her reputation. I said:

Hey man, you're girl should feel safe with
you and not scared of you. Threats are abusive.
